INTRODUCTION

A freezer used for the quick-freezing and long-term storage of food is called deep
freezer.

The term Refrigerator means an electric refrigerator and the term Refrigerator-
freezer means an electric refrigerator-freezer.

Electric refrigerator means a cabinet designed for the refrigerated storage of food
at temperatures above 32 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) and below 39 °F, configured for
general refrigerated food storage, and having a source of refrigeration requiring
single phase, alternating current electric energy input only. An electric refrigerator
may include a compartment for freezing and storage of food at temperatures below
32 °F, but does not provide a separate low temperature compartment designed for
the freezing and storage of food at temperatures below 8 °F.

Electric refrigerator-freezer means a cabinet which consists of two or more

compartments with at least one of the compartments designed for the refrigerated
storage of food at temperatures above 32 °F. and with at least one of the
compartments designed for the freezing and storage of food at temperatures below
8 °F. which may be adjusted by the user to a temperature of 0 °F. or below. The
source of refrigeration requires single phase, alternating current electric energy
input only.

Compact refrigerator, refrigerator-freezer, and freezer means any refrigerator,
refrigeratorfreezer or freezer with total volume less than 7.75 ft3 (220 L) and 36
inches (0.91 meters) or less in height.

Freezer means a cabinet designed as a unit for the freezing and storage of food at
temperatures of 0 °F or below, and having a source of refrigeration requiring single
phase, alternating current electric energy input only.

The concept of a Deep Freezer (DF) is relatively new in the Indian kitchen. The Deep
Freezer revolves around hygiene and correct preservation of foods, notably desserts
and frozen meat. Such food, if not preserved correctly can become stale very easily. As
a result these items need to be preserved in near-ideal conditions for them to retain
their original flavor and taste. Frozen desserts like ice-cream should be kept at -18
degree Celsius, while frozen meat items such as hams, sausages should be kept at a
temperature of -22 degree Celsius.

This is where the standard refrigerator we find in the Indian household lagging
behind. A regular refrigerator cannot preserve food as well as a proper Deep Freezer
will, hence the concept of a small DF in the kitchen comes into being. The
refrigeration sector in India is undergoing a drastic revolution, thanks to the rapid
urbanization, changing lifestyle of the urbane couple. The Haier Deep Freezer offers
plentiful space for storage. You can organize frozen foods nicely within the spacious
interior of the Deep Freezer. This home appliance comes with a storage basket that
lets you separate the things you use the most the most from the items that can stay
in the freezer for months. Further, the basket is removable, which helps quite a bit
with cleaning when it’s time to defrost your freezer.

The generous storage could help offset the extra rupees we spend for some
households. This freezer can hold a considerable amount of assorted frozen foods
used routinely by people who like to stock up on groceries during sales. The
removable storage basket, this small chest freezer is equipped with a drain so you can
easily remove water while manually defrosting it.

Typically in a household, a working couple would want to grab a quick meal that they
may expect to have (what was once considered exotic) ingredients like salmons, hams
or sausages. Their kids would want to have desserts, let’s say ice-creams. Now the
options they have in such circumstances is either to constantly purchase such items,
as and when needed on a daily basis, or to stock them in their pantry. The former
becomes incredibly hard to achieve in the fast-paced urban lives that we have
engulfed ourselves in. Haier’s household Deep Freezers come in a capacity of 100ltrs
and 148ltrs that are designed to suit individual storing needs. The dynamic Deep
Freezer provides various compartments which make it easy to store more food. The
food can be stored in different compartments as per the daily needs, For instance, the
food product like chocolates & ice-creams can be stored in the upper compartment,
where your kids can easily reach and fish out their favorite food item whereas food
items like raw meat, chicken and other poultry items can be stored in lower
compartments. Each compartment in the Haier Deep Freezer can be set at different
temperature as per the food type, keeping it fresh and free from becoming sour.

A freezer (usually a part of a refrigerator) is used to preserve foods between 25 and

10 degrees fahrenheit for use usually within a few weeks or months at most. A
deep freezer uses much lower temperatures, often in excess of 20 degrees below 0
and colder in commercial units but always below 0*F. The extreme cold is to freeze
the food within minutes to insure the least amount of freezer damage from ice
crystals forming in the product and preserve nutrients better and longer. Foods
kept in a deep freezer can be kept several times longer than in a refrigerator’s
freezer and is usually a standalone appliance.
