STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: For further information about preparing food for
freezing or food storage times, check a freezer
guide or a reliable cookbook.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
• Rigid plastic containers with “tight-fitting lids”
• Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Plastic-coated paper
• Non-permeable plastic wraps
• Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
• Bread wrappers
• Containers without tight lids
• Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
• Thin, semi-permeable wrap
CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic
food containers in the freezer compartment. They
may burst if they freeze.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of
food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer
than will freeze within 24 hours [no more than 2 to
3 lbs of food per cubic foot (0,9 to 1,35 kg per cubic
meter) of freezer space]. Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be
careful to leave enough room at the front so the door
can close tightly.
Food storage times will vary according to the
quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap
used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage
temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are
normal. This simply means that moisture in the food
and air inside the package have condensed, creating
ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling
hot foods before freezing saves energy.
WATER AND ICE DISPENSER
Your refrigerator has a mechanism that dispatch cool
water and ice cubes without open the door.
• Tray can be easily removed by pressing and pulling it.
• First push the tray in the area with the word ‘PUSH’,
then place your finger in the center hole and upwards,
finally takes out the tray.
WARNING
Do not put your hands into the water
& ice dispenser opening. Doing so
may cause an injury to your hand.
CAUTION
When opening the container with the
small opening, use it near the opening
of the water or ice dispenser as close
as possible.
