GUIDE TO FOOD STORAGE
The freezer compartment, marked wrth the m symbol, allows the storage of frozen food as well as the freezrng of fresh or cooked food. It also allows the making of Ice cubes

Freezing
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen In a 24 hour period, at an ambient temperature of 25°C. is 6 kg. Set the �FREEZER� control knob of the freezer compartment to its coldest setting. Freezing of fresh food and automatic ice making cannot be carried out at the same time Therefore do not forget to stop the automatic ice maker by setting the lever on OFF. See the operating instructions In chapter �Automatic ice maker�. Do not store warm food in the freezer, do not refreeze already thawed food; It is possible to freeze It after cooking. Wrap food in alum~nrum foil or plastic film or place it into appropriate containers. Label the wrappings and mark the freezlng date and the contents. The freezer compartment maintains the adequate storage temperature even during a power failure, for a perrod of approximately 12 hours. However, during this time, we suggest you leave the freezer door closed.

Freezing vegetables
For best results freeze no more than 2 to 3 hours after picking. Wash in cold vfater, clean and cut as needed. Blanch. Pack in recommended containers and freeze. Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes, or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy. Tomatoes will collaose when thawed.

Freezing

Preparing fresh food for freezing It IS Important to wrap food so that no water,
moisture or vapour may pass through; this avoids the transfer of odour or flavour throughout the refrigerator and allows better storage of frozen food. We recommend the use of plastic containers with tight fitting lids, alumrnrum trays, alumrntum foil, plastic film, and, waterproof plastic wrappings.

Thawed freezing. Steaks or flat cuts should be wrapped individually or in layers separated by a double sheet of freezer wrap.

Lrqurd or semi-liquid dashes must be frozen In recommended containers leaving some head space to allow for expansion. Casseroles and other more solid food can be frozen in oven proof containers.

Sealing
When sealrng the food In bags, squeeze out the arr (liquids need head space to allow for expansion) Fasten the top of the bag with a string. Put the label Inside transparent bags; use selfadhesive labels on the outside of opaque ones.
