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 (as shown, right).
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 (

inch) (see

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section).

Note : A thick layer of ice will increase the running costs of your freezer.
