Tips for freezing
To help you freeze food properly, here are some important tips.
• the maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
•
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No other food to be frozen should be added during
this period.

• Prepare food in small quantities to allow it to freeze quickly and completely; you will then
be able to thaw the quantity you require.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or place it in a polythene bag and make sure the packages are
airtight.
• In order to avoid a rise in temperature of already frozen products, do not place fresh food in
contact with food that is already frozen.
• Foods without fat and lean meats keep better and longer than fatty foods; salt reduces the
storage time of food.
• Water turns to ice. If consumed immediately after being removed from the freezer
compartment, there is a risk of cold burn to the skin.
• It is recommended to indicate the date of freezing on each individual package to allow you
to track its storage time.
