FREEZING FRESH FOOD - See also page 18

Take special care not to mix with already frozen food.

Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean.

You can place food to be frozen in any compartment in the freezer.

Amounts

Do not exceed the freezing capacity which in a 24 hour period is 13 kg.

Prepare fresh food in small portions to ensure rapid freezing. Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality is best preserved when the food is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

When freezing the maximum amount press the Fresh Freeze button.

When freezing small amounts, i.e. 2 kg (5lbs) there is no need to press the Fresh Freeze button.

Preparation

Wrap food in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags.

Wrap fish and similar items in polythene bags.

Wrap food which has a strong odour or can dry out, in polythene bags, aluminium foil, or place in airtight containers.

Make sure all air is excluded from foil wrapping or bags.

Freezer compartment storage info/advice

Do not leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.

The freezer compartment is rated and suitable for the freezing and storage of pre-frozen food.

Don’t freeze filled bottles or sealed cans containing fizzy (carbonated) drinks as they may burst.

Check contents of the freezer every so often to make sure items are not stored for too long.

Don’t close the freezer door before placing the drawers in place.

Don’t try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and re-frozen.

If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 8 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the fridge compartment.

Serving

Don’t remove items from the freezer with wet hands.

Don’t give children ice cream direct from the freezer. The low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’ on lips.

Products such as flavoured ice lollies should not be consumed too cold for the same reason.

Defrost food from the freezer in the fridge compartment.
