Storing Food

Making the best use of

your Appliance

To ensure that your appliance operates as efficiently as

possible:

✱Follow packaging “best by/use by”instructions or your

suppliers advice on a suitable maximum storage time.

✱Keep foods 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 appliance 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 appliance, as placing hot

food in the appliance reduces efficiency.

WARNING: Do not use to store poisonous, flammable

or dangerous substances, your appliance has been

designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

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’ on their lips.

✱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 (see Model Specification).

✱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 (see Model Specification).

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

your appliance.
