maximum speed for fast freezing, suitable for fast refrigeration and fast
freezing material.
Don’t freeze too long. Food should be frozen after the knob back to the
original block, so as not to cause the cold food to be frozen bad.

temperatures e.g. on hot summer
days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat to the coldest
setting. This may cause the

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and sh.
Cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats to
avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough
to collect juices and cover it with cling lm or foil.
Leave space around food
This allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the
Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food
To prevent transfer of avours and drying out, food should be separately
packed or covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly
Allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the Fridge. This will
help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door
To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the
door. When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge
before opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
