Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.

Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in freezer, as they may burst.

Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the freezer the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’.

Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer 15-30 minutes before serving.

Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in freezer.

When freezing fresh food follow the instructions for using fast freeze (see CONTROLS section).

Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with food already frozen, the frozen food could start to defrost.

Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
