Freezing fresh food
Important
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or
freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
• Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving sufficient space around each
pack for the air to circulate.
• For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point when placing fresh
foods in the freezer compartment.
• The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh
foods.
When purchasing frozen food products:
• ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged
packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has
damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting
may have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and transport the products in a
thermally insulated cool bag.
• Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon as
you get home.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect
the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.

• Do not use sharp or pointed instruments to detach the tray if it is stuck to the low
temperature compartment bottom.
