• Always be mindful of the storage life of foods you are going
to be freezing for a long time. Although the temperature of
the freezer can dip to a very low level, this does not mean
that food can be stored indefi nitely. Pay particular attention to
the information printed on the packaging of the foods you are
going to be placing in your freezer.
• Always store food with a view to how often it will be used.
Food consumed daily should be placed in a more accessible
place than food stored long-term so that you don't end up
leaving the door open for extended periods while searching for
food.
• Do not store excessive quantities or weights of food. Always
try to leave gaps between your packages for better storage
results.
• Do NOT place food too closely to the interior walls. Items
placed too closely to walls may freeze to them!
• Do not load tepid packages alongside frozen ones in your
freezer. The freshly introduced food may cause a slight and
potentially detrimental thaw in the frozen article/s.
• Use correct packaging and wrap items correctly.
• The packaging should be airtight and shouldn't leak since this
could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration from
your food.
• Foil and bags should be applied carefully to articles of food so
that they can be stored systematically & comfortably within the
freezer.
• It is very important that the food is frozen as soon as possible.
We recommended that the size of the package not be too
large. It should also have been suffi ciently cooled (at least to
room temperature) before being loaded in your freezer.
• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded within 24 hours
is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity).
• Food cut into small portions will be easier to defrost and cook.
The recommended weight for each portion is 2.5kg.
• The outside of a food packaging should be dry before being
placed in the freezer. All packages should be odour-free and
non-toxic.
