fresh food.

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.
