The Freezer Compartment
The
symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18 C (-0.4
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 again st a
temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading
must be taken quickly as the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after removal.
Freezing Fresh Food
The maximum quantity of food you can freeze in
24 hours is 8kg. Place the fresh food on the
freezer compartment. 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
basket in contact with the baskets surface as far
as possible and spaced apart to allow cold air to
circulate between them. They should not touch
existing packets.
Frozen food should not be refrozen
once it has thawed out.
Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or 'frost/freezer
burns'.
Frozen Food Storage
F) or colder
The appliance has the following net storag e
volume: 170 litres
T h i s i s a s t a n d a r d m e a s u r e m e n t a n d t h e
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 provides for
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 packets 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
A n y o p e n e d p a c k e t s o f f r o z e n f o o d ,
should be rewrapped in airtight materials
to prevent surface evaporation which
causes drying or 'freezer burn'.
Frozen food which is allowed to thaw
a c c i d e n t a l l y s h o u l d e i t h e r b e u s e d
immediately or thrown away. Alternatively
if the food is uncooked and has not been
completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Aim to check dates on packets and rotate
food regularly. Although storage longer
than recommended is not harmful, flavours
and textures begin to change.
