Storing Food
Making the best use of
your Appliance
To ensure that your appliance operates as efficiently as
possible:
Follow packaging "best by/use by"instructions or your
suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.
Keep foods covered to retain moisture and prevent
flavour/odour transference. Plastic bags, aluminium
foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are
ideal.
Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping,
transport in a 'cool bag' and place in appliance as soon
as possible after arriving home.
Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer
than needed.
Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered
containers before placing in appliance, as placing hot
food in the appliance reduces efficiency.
WARNING: Do not use to store poisonous, flammable
or dangerous substances, your appliance has been
designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.
Storing Food in a Freezer
Freeze and store either fresh food or long term
commercially frozen foods.
Generally speaking long term storage means up to 3
months but this can vary, so always follow your
supplier's recommendations otherwise refer to the
pictorial guide on the door liner (see below).
Type of
food
Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon
as possible after buying it.
Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be
stored in freezer, as they may burst.
Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children
directly from the freezer. The low temperature may
cause 'freezer burns' on their lips.
Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer
and remove from freezer 15-30 minutes before serving.
Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in
freezer.
When freezing fresh food (see Model Specification).
Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within
24 hours or cooked and refrozen.
Fully defrost your freezer when the ice is between
3-5mm thick (see Model Specification).
Note: A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of
your appliance.
