Your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer will be able to give advice
■ ■
on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old
refrigerator or freezer.
Storing food and drinks
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a
■ ■
flammable propellant in this appliance.
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as
■ ■
they may explode.
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during
■ ■
freezing, which may cause the container to explode.
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
■ ■
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the
■ ■
freezer compartment may be cold enough to cause damage when
brought into contact with bare skin, eg frozen ice cubes.
Power failure – food safety
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The
■ ■
food may be dangerous to eat. Follow the recommendations below
if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
– Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be
stored for a shorter period than recommended.
– Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not
recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be refrozen but
use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or
cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp
and soggy.
– Thawed and warmer than 5°C (41°F) – discard all food.
