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 rat-
ing 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 thorough-
ly 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 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 frozenfood
To obtain the best performance from this ap-
pliance, you should:
• 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.
• Do 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.
