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 hrs. 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 rap-
idly 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 tem-
perature of the latter;

individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor-
age time.

were adequately stored by the retailer;
• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time;
• not open the door frequently or leave it open lon-
ger than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and can-
not be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.
Never use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products or wax polishes to clean
the interior as this will damage the surface and leave
a strong odour.
