Hints for storage of frozen food
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
the maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
prepare food in small portions to quicken the freezing process and only thaw the needed quantity;
wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch already frozen food, 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;
iced water, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause frostbite;
It is advised to label the food you freeze with the date, so as to keep tables on their storage time
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen;
do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.
