Helpful hints and tips

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 fur-
ther food to be frozen should be added dur-
ing 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 poly-
thene 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;
