Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.
• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze must
be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family's daily or meal
based consumption needs.
• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from drying
even if they are going to be kept for a short
time.
• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to cold,
humidity, odor, oils and acids and they
must also be airtight. Moreover, they must
be well closed and they must be made
from easy-to-use materials that are suitable
for deep freeze usage.
• Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following instructions to

Do not freeze too large quantities of
food at one time. The quality of the food is
best preserved when it is frozen right through
to the core as quickly as possible.
2.
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling system to
operate continuously until the food is frozen
solid.
3.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food
