Let hot food cool to room temperature before putting it in the freezer
compartment.
★
Do not place a glass container containing liquid or the sealed
canned liquid in the freezer compartment, to avoid bursting due to the
expansion of the volume once the liquid is frozen.

Divide the food into appropriate small portions.

It is best to pack food before freezing. The packaging bag used must
be dry, in case the packaging bags are frozen together. Food must be
wrapped or covered with suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, air
and water impermeable, non-toxic and pollution-free, to avoid
contamination cross and odor transfer.
Tips for buying frozen food
1. When purchasing frozen food, see the storage instructions on the
package. You can keep each food frozen for the period indicated in
relation to the number of stars. This is usually the period indicated
as «Better to use before ×», which is on the front of the package.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the store where
you buy frozen food.
3. Make sure the frozen food packaging is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last when shopping or visit the
supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together while shopping and on the way
home, as this will help keep food cool.
6. Do not buy frozen products unless you can freeze them immediately.
Special cooler bags can be purchased at most supermarkets and
hardware stores. These keep food frozen longer.
7. For some foods, defrosting before cooking is not necessary.
Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or
steamed. Frozen sauces and soups can be put in a saucepan and
gently heated until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is
frozen in small batches, it will take less time to freeze and thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food to be frozen. When you freeze large
quantities of fresh produce, set the temperature control knob to low
mode, with the freezer temperature lowered. Thus, food can be
frozen quickly, with the freshness of the food well preserved.
