Storing Food in a Freezer
Freeze and store either fresh food or long term commercially frozen foods.
Generally speaking long term storage means up to 3 months but this can
vary, so always follow your supplier’s recommendations otherwise refer to
the pictorial guide on the door liner (see below).
Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after
buying it.
Liquid-filled bottles or sealed fizzy drinks must not be stored in freezer, as
they may burst.
Lollipops and water ices should not be given to children directly from the
freezer the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’.
Store ice cream towards the top front of the freezer and remove from freezer
15-30 minutes before serving.
Ensure food is labelled and dated before placing in freezer.
When freezing fresh food follow the instructions for using fast freeze (see
CONTROLS section).
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with food already frozen, the
frozen food could start to defrost.
Once thawed, food should be cooked and eaten within 24 hours or cooked
and refrozen.
Fully defrost your freezer when the ice is between 3-5mm thick (
1
/
4
inch) (see
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).
Note : A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of your freezer.
