Hints for freezing and storing frozen foods
To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.
• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate
of the appliance.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during
this period;
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• Wrap up the food in tin foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise
in temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can
possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep
tab of the storage time.
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the
shortest possible time.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. Once
defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
• Do not store bottled drink in the freezer compartment to prevent burst or other losses.
