· Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food. Also remove all mobile
parts (shelves, accessories, etc.) or fix them into the fridge to avoid any shock.
· Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing
upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRIDGE
The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.
Fresh food care for best results:
· Store foods that are very fresh and of good quality.
· Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste and will help maintain freshness. It will also prevent
odour transfer.
· Make sure that strong smelling foods are wrapped or covered and stored away from foods such as
butter, milk and cream which can be tainted by strong odours.
· Cool hot foods down before placing them in the fridge.
FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
Use the freezer
· To store deep-frozen food.
· To make ice cubes.
Note: Ensure that the freezer door has been closed properly. Avoid opening the freezer drawers
unnecessarily.
Purchasing frozen food
· Packaging must not be damaged.
· Use by the 'use by/best before/best by/' date.
· If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer.
Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.
Suitable packaging:
Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.
A freezing compartment with 1, 2 or 3 stars is suitable for storing frozen foods and making ice cubes. It is
not suitable for freezing fresh food.
Never forget:
· Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not
be refrozen.
· Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
