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 hours is shown on the

rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours no

further food to be frozen should be

added during this period;

• freeze only 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 aluminium 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.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

• 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 manufacturer.
