4. DAILY TIPS
4.1 Freezing fresh food
x
It is recommended to wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.
x
Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the
refrigerator.
x
The food that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.
x
Food must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based
consumption needs.
x
The food must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if
they are going to be kept for a short time.
x
To minimize moisture loss, fruit and vegetables should be loosely enclosed in a plastic
material. Example: wrap or bags without sealing and place in the moist fresh zone.
x
Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities of food at one time. The quality of the food is
best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to
operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.
3. Do not block the outlet and inlet of the cool air circulating, otherwise the foods will
not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
4. Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
5. Keep the door securely closed.

Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be
re-frozen.

retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:
