Using the product
5.17. Freezing fresh food
•
To preserve food quality, the food items placed
in the freezer compartment must be frozen as
quickly as possible, use the rapid freezing for
this.
•
Freezing the food items when fresh will extend
the storage time in the freezer compartment.
•
Pack the food items in air-tight packs and seal
tightly.
•
Make sure the food items are packed before
putting in the freezer. Use freezer holders,
tinfoil and damp-proof paper, plastic bag
or similar packaging materials instead of
traditional packaging paper.
• Mark each food pack by writing the date on the
package before freezing. This will allow you to
determine the freshness of each pack every
time the freezer is opened. Keep the earlier
food items in the front to ensure they are used
first.
•
Frozen food items must be used immediately
after defrosting and should not be frozen again.
•
Do not free large quantities of food at once.

5.18. Recommendations for
storing frozen foods
The compartment must be set to at least -18°C.
1.
Place the food items in the freezer as quickly
as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date” on
the package to make sure it is not expired.
3.
Make sure the food’s packaging is not
damaged.
5.19. Deep freezer details
As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer must
have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of food items at
-18°C or lower temperatures in 24 hours for each
100 litres of freezer compartment volume. Food
items can only be preserved for extended periods
at or below temperature of -18°C . You can keep
the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer at or
below temperatures of 18°C ).
The food items to be frozen must not contact
the already-frozen food inside to avoid partial
defrosting.
Boil the vegetables and filter the water to extend
the frozen storage time. Place the food in air-tight
packages after filtering and place in the freezer.
Bananas, tomatoes, lettuce, celery, boiled eggs,
potatoes and similar food items should not be
frozen. Freezing these food items will simply
reduce the nutritional value and food quality,
as well as possible spoiling which is harmful to
health.
