Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the "Food Freezing Guide" to
know which products you can freeze and how long you can keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables (plunge them in boiling water for few moments)
before freezing to preserve their color, smell, taste and vitamins.
Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions. Small
portions freeze quicker at their core.
Pack the food hermetically so that they do not lose their flavor or dry up.
Use plastic bags, polyethylene film, aluminum foil or special freezer
containers for this. If you are using plastic bags, compress them to eliminate
the air before sealing them hermetically.
Note on each package:
– The freezing date
– The consume-by date
– The type of food contained
– The number of portions contained
If you are purchasing deep-frozen food, pick it up last when you are
shopping. Check that:
The packaging isn't damaged
They are not covered in a layer of frost (which means that they have
partially defrosted). Pack them in an isotherm bag or in newspaper.
Transport them quickly and store them immediately. Comply with the
maximum storage dates shown on the packaging. Your appliance has a ****
freezer compartment, which enables you to store deep-frozen food.
