Using the freezer

Storing frozen food

• Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a frozen food storage compartment. If possible try to leave air circulation channels through stored food.
• If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 13 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.
• The freezer packs will help maintain the cold temperature in the freezer.
• If the freezer packs are damaged they should be safely disposed of. (The liquid is not suitable for drinking.)
• DO NOT lift and carry the drawer by the drawer front – Use side handles to carry.

Loading the freezer

• Allow air to circulate efficiently, do not pack food too closely together in the freezer sections.
• Avoid spillage of food particularly small items like rice, peas, beans, etc. through the fan guard as they may cause the cooling system to block and therefore operate less efficiently.
• The normal storage temperature of the freezer should be Min. -18°C (0°F) or food will decay and be wasted.
• We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the recommended temperature.

Freezing fresh food

• Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance in any 24-hour period of 10 kg (22 lb).
• Do not place warm food in the freezer.
• If freezing large quantities of fresh food activate  ‘Quick Freeze’, 1-2 hours before loading the food.
• You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
• The most efficient use of energy is obtained with the shelves and baskets in their default positions, allowing air to circulate throughout the food
• We recommend that food is always covered and not stored in open containers or foodstuffs. Please remember; that each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises.
• Therefore never leave the door open and always close it immediately after food is put in or removed.
• Due to the vacuum effect created when the freezer door is closed; do not try to re-open immediately, please wait for a short period of time before trying to open the door.

Food storage and energy efficiency

• The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration of the drawers and shelves in their default positions, with foodstuffs evenly distributed throughout.
• Well-ventilated, lower ambient temperatures are ideal conditions for energy saving. In very low ambient temperatures (Never less than 5°C) the internal temperatures should be checked with a thermometer and the temperature adjusted as necessary.
• Ensure the time between buying chilled/frozen food and placing them in the appliance is kept to a minimum, particularly in summer. We recommend you use a cool bag to carry frozen food.
• Do not leave the door(s) of the appliance open longer than is necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.
• The most energy-efficient use is with baskets and drawers in their default positions.

Food storage advice and recommendations to avoid waste of food and energy
