STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER

B. Freezer

Upper freezer drawer

• Store packed frozen foods, like ice cream and bacon.

Middle/lower freezer drawer

Wrapping food

Upper freezer drawer

Middle/lower freezer drawer

Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.

Note Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 2 pounds, while meat portions can be up to 5.5 lbs.

Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is better maintained when defrosting and preparing the food. It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing its taste or dehydrating. Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.

Suitable wrapping materials:

Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from any dealer.

Unsuitable wrapping materials:

Wrapping paper, wax paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.

These can cause odors to be generated.

Suitable sealing materials:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.

Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.

Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and date of freezing.

MAKING ICE

Pull out the ice-cube trays.

Fill trays up to the water level mark (arrow).

Put the ice-cube trays back in position.

Close the freezer door.

Twist Ice System

Once the water has become frozen, turn the dials on the ice cube trays to empty ice cubes into the storage bin.

Warning

Note

Danger of explosion

The coldest parts of the refrigerator are the rear panels and the lowest shelf. This is the best place to store delicate food.

Glass bottles containing liquids that can freeze should never be stored in the freezer as the glass will explode.
