Tips for shopping for frozen foods
Your Freezer is 4 star
When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging.
You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4
star rating. This is usually the period stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the
packaging.
Check the Fridge/Freezer temperature. Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower
than -18°C.
Choose packs carefully. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
Purchase frozen food last. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip
or visit to the supermarket.
Keep frozen foods together. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and
on the journey home as this will help to keep the food cooler.
Store food straight away. Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight
away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.
Thawing frozen food
For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can
be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put
into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
Freezing fresh foods, useful tips
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it
freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be freezing. If you are freezing large
amounts of fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to Max. This will lower the
temperature in the Freezer (approx -30°C), freezing your food quicker and helping to
keep the goodness in. However you should do this sparingly to conserve energy.
Preparations for freezing
Leave cooked food to cool completely.
Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from
the Freezer.
Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags,
plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned
thoroughly first).
Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum
pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids
with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as “performing” Pour the
liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this,
then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
Defrosting
This appliance is designed as automatic defrosting, no need to defrost by hand.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.
Cleaning
Cleaning inside the Fridge/Freezer
You should clean the Fridge/Freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry.
Wash the baskets in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before
replacing in the Fridge/Freezer.
Cleaning outside the Fridge/Freezer
Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Fridge/
Freezer exterior.
The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent
components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge/
Freezer.
Vacation Time
Turn off the refrigerator first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
Remove all the food.
Clean the refrigerator.
Leave the lid open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation, mold, or odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be accessible to
child’s play.
Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three
weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all food
and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent odor
and mold growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking it open if necessary or have
the door removed.
