USEFUL AD
VICE
To ensure that your fridge freezer operates as efficiently as possible :
●
Follow food packaging “best before/use by” instructions or your suppliers advice on a suitable
maximum storage time.
● Keep foods tightly covered to retain moisture and prevent flavour/odour transference.
Plastic bags, aluminium foil, plastic stretch wrap and containers with lids are ideal.
● Select chilled and frozen food last when shopping, transport in a ‘cool bag’ and place in freezer
as soon as possible after arriving home.
● Avoid opening the doors unnecessarily or for longer than needed.
● Allow hot or warm food to cool down in covered containers before placing in the fridge or
freezer, as placing hot food inside reduces efficiency.
● Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quickly and
so that its quality does not deteriorate.
● Ensure that packets/containers of food are dry before freezing otherwise they may freeze
together.
Making the best use of your Fridge Freezer
How Frost Free works
The frost free system completely eliminates the need for defrosting.
A fan circulates air, this helps to remove moisture from the compartments, therefore preventing the
build up of ice.
It is normal to hear the fan when the fridge freezer is cooling.
Additional benefits of the frost free system include:
●
More even temperatures throughout the freezer.
● Faster cooling times.
Note: Care must be taken when
storing food items in the top of the
fridge compartment.
Make sure items are not stored too
close to the moulding at the rear of
the compartment as very cold air
enters the appliance at this point and
may cause certain containers to split.
