Never forget:
•
When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by /best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them
before this date expires.
•
Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be
re-frozen.
•
Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
•
Please don't put glass containers filed with liquid into the freezer compartment as the glass may break.
Fast-freezing:
Refer to the description about fast-freezing function in the "USE" section.
Compared with the normal freezing, fast freezing enables food to pass through the maximum ice crystal
formation zone at the fastest speed. Fast freezing can freeze the food water content into fine ice crystals,
without damaging the cell membrane, so cell juice will not be lost when thawing, and the original freshness
and nutrition of food can be maintained.
The fast-freezing function is designed to preserve nutrition of the frozen food, with the food thoroughly
frozen in the shortest time. Fast freezing consumes more energy than the normal freezing does.
