The Freezer Compartment; Freezing Fresh Food; Frozen Food Storage - Hyundai FSB 050 WW8 User Manual

The Freezer Compartment

The symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18 C (-0.4 F) or colder
allowing for long term frozen food storage and
freezing of fresh food.The freezer temperature
is controlled automatically by the thermostat
situated in the control panel.
Due to the different installations, methods
of usage and weather conditions, adjustments
to the temperature settings may be required.
These are best assessed against
a temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading
must be taken quickly as the thermome-
ter temperature will rise rapidly after
removal.

Freezing Fresh Food

The maximum quantity of food you can freeze
in 24 hours is 2kg.Place the fresh food in the
freezer. Food may need rearranging
to achieve this. During the freezing process the
temperature of fresh food should be reduced
quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small
as possible to prevent damaging the structure
of food. If freezing takes place slowly large ice
crystals form and these will affect the quality
of food once it has defrosted.
Packets to be frozen should be placed in the
freezer and spaced apart to allow cold air to
Circulate between them. They should not touch
existing packets.
No harm will result if you forget to turn off the
fast freeze switch after 24 hours, but for rea-
sons of Economy, try to remember to turn it off
when Freezing is complete.
Frozen food should not be refrozen
once it has thawed out. Do not remo-
ve items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or ‚frost/freezer burns'.

Frozen Food Storage

The appliance has the following net storage
volume: 34 litres This is a standard measure-
ment and the actual capacity depends upon the
density and sizes of the food. The above figures
are based on an average density of 0.32kg per
Litre Pre packed commercially frozen food
should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions for a 4 star frozen
food compartment and should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase.
Your freezer providesfor long term storage
which generally means up to 3 months but the
length of the time can vary and it is important to
follow the recommended times shown on pac-
kets of commercially frozen food.
Do not place sealed containers or
carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks
into the freezer as it creates pressure
on the container which may cause it to
explode resulting to damage to the
freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should
not be consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer as it may
result in low temperature skin abrasions.
Manufacturers storage times should be
adhered to.
Hints and Tips
● Any opened packets of frozen food,
should be rewrapped in airtight materi-
als to prevent surface evaporation
which causes drying or ‚freezer burn'.
● Frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be used
immediately or thrown away. Alternati-
vely if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be
cooked and then refrozen.
