Hints for fresh food refrigeration

  • Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting in the compressor has to work harder and will consume more energy.
  • Do cover or wrap the food particularly if it has a strong flavor.
  • Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

  • Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.

Hints for freezing

  • When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
  • Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
  • Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight,
  • Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid a temperature rise of the latter.
  • Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
  • It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

Hints for the storage of frozen food
