Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freez-
ing process, here are some important
hints:
• To freeze the maximum quantity

shown on the rating plate press the
FROSTMATIC switch 24 hours prior to
freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller
quantities. The light will light up .

• The FROSTMATIC switch not need

not be pressed for freezing of small
quantities.

• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to ena-

ble it to be rapidly and completely fro-
zen and to make it possible subse-

quently to thaw only the quantity re-
quired;

• 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 temperature of
the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the stor-
age life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer com-
partment, 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.

4.5 

Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from
this appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially fro-

zen foodstuffs 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 longer than absolutely neces-
sary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rap-

idly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period in-

dicated by the food manufacturer.
