The Freezer Compartment; Freezing Fresh Food - Baumatic TITAN1 Instruction Manual

o Milk bottles should have a cap on them and be stored on the
bottle shelves that sit in the door.
o Garlic, potatoes, onions and bananas should only be
stored in a refrigerator IF they are stored in airtight
containers.
The freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
o The freezer compartment temperature must have already
reached -18 degrees centigrade (or lower) before you attempt to
store food that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
o The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity
of fresh food at one time. The maximum amount of fresh food
(in kilograms) that can be frozen in a 24 hour period is listed on
the rating plate.
o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer compartment,
then the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
o The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in
regard to the maximum storage time.
o Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.

Freezing fresh food

o Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers
or packaging. This will help to make sure that the
food doesn't dry out or lose its flavour. It will also
ensure that flavour does not transfer from other
foods.
o To freeze the maximum quantity of fresh food
specified on the rating plate, you should press
the FRZ. TEMP button until number 5 is
selected, 24 hours prior to attempting
freezing.
o For smaller quantities of fresh food, you
should press the FRZ. TEMP button until
number 5 is selected, a few hours prior to
attempting freezing.
