The freezer compartment

The freezer compartment has a 4 star rating ( highest available for domestic freezers). This means that not only is it suitable for the long term storage of frozen foods, it can also be used to freeze fresh food such as meat , fish , vegetables and fruit out of season. If you are loading bulk into the freezer, load one quarter at a time and allow to freeze before loading the next quarter.

Divide food into reasonable portions according to your requirements. Allow hot food to cool before putting it in the freezer.

Seal all foods or place in airtight containers to prevent dehydration.

Remember, liquids can increase in volume when frozen. Do not store sealed bottles, jars or cans in the freezer as the contents will freeze, expand and rupture the container. Do not exceed the expiry date shown on food packs.

Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food that has been cooked can be refrozen.

Do not take out frozen food with wet hands. You could stick to the frozen food. Always use appropriate packaging material to avoid odour penetration or degradation of the food.

Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packs. Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This ensures rapid freezing and maintains the quality of the food.

Transport pre-frozen food from the supermarket in foil lined cooler bags and transfer to the home freezer as soon as possible.

Note

It may be difficult to open the freezer door just after it has been closed. This is a normal phenomenon and is caused by the partial vacuum created by the pressure difference that exists between the inside and the outside the freezer. This will equalise after a few min- utes allowing the door to once more be opened normally.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer.

To facilitate the removal of the frozen cubes from the tray, allow them to thaw slightly or put the bottom of the tray in water for a short moment.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice tray or cubes as these pose an injury risk and could also damage the freezer.

What if there is a power failure

Keep the doors of your freezer closed.

Frozen food will not be affected if the power failure lasts less than a few hours.

If the power failure lasts longer, it is best to first cook the defrosted food and then re- freeze it.
