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.
• 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 subsequently to thaw only the quantity
required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or plastic 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.
• Frozen liquids, if consumed immediately after re-
moval 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.
