• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or pol-

ythene 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 lat-
ter;

• 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

keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

• make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred from the foodstore 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.

ted by the food manufacturer.
