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.

Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better. Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible. Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it. Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
Cleaning Defrosting Frost might build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included). Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting. We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10mm (~0.39”). Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures: 1.
