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.
•
The amount of fresh foods that can be
loaded in the freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate (freezing
capacity). If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
•
Before it starts freezing, set the thermostat to
the position
3-6
for 24 hours. If you have a
model with integrated switch for intensive
cooling, turn ON the switch. After 24 hours
load the appliance with fresh load packages.
24 hours from the time when fresh food was
put in the appliance turn the thermostat dial
to the operating temperature (see
temperature selection). At the above
mentioned model it is necessary to
turn OFF
the switch
, which has previously been
engaged.
The switch is ON when the marking
(
I
)or colour marking is visible, and OFF
when the marking
(
0
) is visible or colour
marking is not visible (depending on
model).
•
The next time you want to freeze fresh foods,
repeat the freezing procedure and be careful
that packages with fresh foods do not touch
frozen packages.
•
For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1
kg) there is no need to change the
thermostat setting (see Temperature
Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of
the appliance or on the shelf.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended
temperature for storing commercially frozen
foods are indicated on the packaging. For
storing and using consider the manufacturer's
instruction. When shopping, be careful and
choose only adequately packed foods provided
with complete data and stored in freezers
