Freezing Fresh Foods
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it
should be of adequate quality and suitable
for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
- The packaging should be air tight and
shouldn't leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration
of foods.
- Foils and bags should be soft enough to
tightly wrap around the foods.
• Mark packages with following data: kind
and amount of foods and the date of
loading.
• It is most important that the food is frozen
as quickly as possible. Therefore we
recommend the size of the package not
to be too large and to be cooled before
loading into the freezer.
• Pack systematically and make sure that
foodstuffs do not touch each other (various
odours may mix). Assure adequate air
circulation around packages.
• Never store in
fl
ammable, volatile or
explosive substances.
• Beverages with high alcohol percentage
should be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
vertical position.
• Food should not touch the rear wall of the
refrigerator!
• Some organic solutions like volatile oils in
lemon and orange peel, acid in butter etc.
• can cause damages when in contact with
plastic surfaces or gaskets for longer
period of time.
• Foods should be cooled down before
storing.
• Crispy and delicate foods should be stored
in the coldest parts of the refrigerator.
• Try not to open the door too often.
• Set the thermostat to the setting where
lower temperatures are reached. Set the
thermostat gradually as to avoid freezing
of the foods. Use a thermometer and
measure the temperature in the individual
compartments. Place the thermostat in a
glass vessel
fi
lled with water. Temperature
readings are most reliable few hour after
steady state is reached.
• Unpleasant odor inside the refrigerator is
a sign that something is wrong with foods
or that your refrigerator needs cleaning.
Unpleasant odor can be eliminated or
reduced by washing the interior of the
refrigerator with a mild solution of water
and vinegar. We also recommend using
activated carbon
fi
lters to clean the air or to
neutralize odors.
• If you plan a longer journey, make sure to
remove quickly perishable articles of food
out of the appliance before you leave.
