Arranging Food In The Appliance; Fridge Compartment; Freezer Compartment - SUNFEEL FG1702X Manual De Instrucciones

CHAPTER .3

Fridge compartment

• To reduce humidity and the consequent increase in frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the fridge compartment. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of
the evaporating liquid and in time will more frequent defrosting will be required.
• Never place warm food in the fridge compartment. Warm food should be allowed to cool
at room temperature and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the
fridge compartment.
• Nothing should touch the back wall of the appliance as it will cause frost and packaging
to stick to it. Do not open the fridge door too frequently.
• Arrange meat and cleaned fish (wrapped in packages or sheets of plastic) which you
intend to use in 1-2 days, in the bottom section of the fridge compartment.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.

Freezer compartment

• Use the freezer for storing deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh or warm food in the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use the
shelves for the storage of frozen food.
• Do not store fresh or warm food with frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
• When freezing fresh food (e.g. meat, fish and mincemeat), divide it into portions that
you will consume in one sitting.
When storing frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packaging should always
be followed carefully and if no information is provided, food should not be stored for more
than 3 months from the purchase date.
When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and
that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer
as soon as possible. Do not use door shelves for freezing.
• If a frozen food package shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable
that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents
have deteriorated. Do not buy such food.
The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how
often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the
product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging
and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking and the food which you need to freeze
more quickly. Fast freezing shelves are the middle drawers of the freezer compartment
(see page 14).
