Hints for freezing
·
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the
appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings before
putting food in the compartment.
·
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly
and complete frozen and to make it possible to subsequently
thaw only the quantity required.
·
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food
wraps which are airtight.
·
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is
already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
·
Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, will probably cause frost burns to
the skin.

It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in
order to keep track of the storage time.
