Super Freezing
This function is for freezing fresh food. This makes your fridge freezer colder (approx -30°C). Therefore fresh
food will be frozen quicker, helping to retain more of the goodness. Turn the thermostat control dial to the
“5” position. Freezing will be complete after 24 hours. After this time turn the thermostat control dial back
to a medium position, to allow the fridge freezer to return to its normal temperature (-18°C). Never freeze
large quantities of fresh food at one time.
Shopping for Chilled Foods
• Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.
• Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep
the food cold.
• Don’t buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be bought
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold for longer while
transporting.
• Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could raise the
food temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.
• Always unpack and place chilled food in the fridge freezer before storing dry food.
Tips for Keeping Food Perfect in the Fridge Freezer
• Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it
properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge freezer.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the fridge freezer. Ensure all parts of the
fridge freezer are kept cool.
• To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables
do not need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the fridge freezer. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the fridge freezer.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the fridge freezer, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
