frozen food and energy saving tips.
Hints for Frozen Food
■ Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
■ Store food in small portions for quick and thorough defrosting and reduce
waste.

temperature rise in the latter.

■ Salt reduces the storage life of food.
■ Position the frozen food so that the use by date is visible on each packet when
you open the door.
■ Transfer purchased frozen goods to your freezer as quickly as possible.
■ Do not open the door frequently or leave it open for longer than necessary.
