SUGGESTIONS FOR STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a ( 4 star) frozen food storage compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
1.Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2.Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.
3.Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 8 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re- frozen.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 13 kg.
Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer, however we recommend fresh freeze compartment for fastest freezing.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
DEFROSTING
The fridge and freezer compartments defrost automatically.
