Ensure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic conditions as freezing
alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in plastic
bags or stored in airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and to prevent any strong
odours of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To
freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf to avoid
cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and placed
in the crisper.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf in the door.

opened affect the temperature in the refrigerator. If required, change the thermostat
temperature settings.

All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible to avoid them from
defrosting and spoiling.
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the manufacturer should
always be followed.
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat knob to the maximum
position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust it to the normal
position.
The technical data mentioned in the ‘Specifications’ are obtained in the case that the freezing drawers
