in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term
storage which generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary
and it is important to follow the recommended times shown on packets of
commercially frozen food. Do not place sealed containers or carbonated liquids such
as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates pressure on the container which may
cause it to explode resulting to damage to the freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies
should not be consumed immediately after removal from the freezer as it may result
in low temperature skin abrasions. Manufacturers storage times should be adhered to.
Any opened packets of frozen food, should be rewrapped in airtight materials to
prevent surface evaporation which causes drying or "freezer burn". Frozen food
which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be used immediately or thrown
away. Alternatively if the food is uncooked and has not been aim to check dates on
packets and rotate than recommended is not harmful, flavours and textures begin to
change.
IMPORTANT! – in order to make the most of the volume of the frozen-food storage
compartment, the user can removed one or more drawers, out of the appliance,
according to your daily use.
Food in the freezer should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and
tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps,
Plastic containers with lids;
Special plastic covers with elastic,
Aluminium foil.
Water contained in food or getting into air inside the fridge be opening doors may
form a layer pf frost inside. It will weaken the refrigeration when the frost is thick.
While it is more than 10mm thick, you should defrost.
