Freezing fresh food
o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified above, you should turn the
thermostat knob to position <5>, 24 hours
prior to attempting freezing.
o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should turn the thermostat knob to position
<5>, approximately 6 hours prior to
attempting freezing.
o Alternatively you can use the Super Freeze option (see the
“Freezing with Super Freeze” section of this booklet).
o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the
food doesn’t dry out or lose its flavour. It will also
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other
foods.
o The food should be placed on the
freezer compartment’s base. Do not
allow fresh food to touch items that
are already frozen.
o After 24 hours you should check that
the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen.
If it is then the thermostat should be
turned down to its normal setting
(between <3> and <4>).
Tips on freezing
o Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and
special cans for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing
frozen goods in.
o Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are
suitable for sealing bags and wrappings.
o Before sealing a suitable bag, you should
compress the air out of it, as this will help
the food to freeze more easily.
o Flat packages freeze more easily.
