4.
Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
5.
Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home, as this
will help to keep the food cooler.
6.
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
the frozen foods cold longer.
7.
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.
8.
Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When foods are frozen in small
quantities, it will take less than for them to freeze up and thaw.
9.
Estimate the amount of foods to be frozen up. When freezing large amounts of
fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low mode, with the freezer
temperature lowered. So, foods can be frozen up in fast manner, with the food
freshness well kept.
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice-making box in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so that it
ices up as soon as possible.
Storing frozen food
■
All frozen food you purchase should be placed in the freezer as soon as possible
to avoid them from defrosting and spoiling.
■
All storage recommendations printed on the packaging of frozen food by the
manufacturer should always be followed.
■
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, set the thermostat
knob to the maximum position for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be
stored, and then re-adjust it to the normal position.
5.3. ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
■
Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight and away from
cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air emitting items.
■
Do not set the freezer temperatures lower than necessary. Set the internal
temperature within the correct range e.g. adjust the thermostat at middle position
-18°C in the freezer respectively.
■
Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the fridge or freezer is will
prevent the internal temperature of the fridge from rising.
■
Keep your freezer full, but not over crowded. Try to leave about 20% free space
for air circulation.
■
To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency of opening door. When retuning
from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your freezer before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in o keep it out.
■
Make sure the door seal is clean and in good condition. It should hold a piece of
paper tightly in place when shut.
■
Defrost regularly or when ice is more than 5mm thick. Thick ice covering the inner
sides significantly increases energy use.
■
The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device
description is optimal for efficient energy savings. Changing the combination
proposition could alter the efficiency.
