Hints for freezing
•
When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings before putting food in the compartment.
•
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
•
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
•
Do not allow fresh and unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of the latter.
•
Iced productseif consumed immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment, will probably cause frost burns to the skin.
•
It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
