Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some
important hints:
•
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 h is shown
on the rating plate;
•
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 to subsequently thaw only
the amount required;
•
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene and make sure
the packages are airtight;
•
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch already frozen food, 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;
•
Ice cubes, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment, can cause freeze burn;
•
It is advisable to write the freezing date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tabs of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
•
Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored
by the retailer;
•
Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to
the freezer in the shortest possible time;
•
Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary. Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be
refrozen.
•
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
•
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
•
Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
