HINTS AND TIPS

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer

•Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.

•Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.

•Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

•Do not store food uncovered.

•Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.

•Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.

•Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal .

•Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.

•Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

•Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.

•Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.

•Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.
