However, it is advisable to avoid opening the compartment door during such periods. Freezing fresh food (only in compartments marked ) Important · Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. · Arrange the fresh food in the top compartment, leaving sufficient space around each pack for the air to circulate. · For optimum freezing, turn the thermostat down by half a point when placing fresh foods in the freezer compartment. · The food will be completely frozen in 24 hours. For appliances with compartments marked The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
