w producers’ instructions concerning the freezing of food products.
It is best to freeze and thaw small portions. This ensures quick, even freezing and
thawing. Always write a description of a package’s content and date of freezing.
When freezing larger quantities of food products the temperature may at times
increase. This has no impact on products already frozen and in storage.
Do not open the doors during the freezing process.
NOTE!
Remember to set the temperature properly in order to avoid wasting energy.
In the event of a power outage or equipment failure, do not open the door.
This will delay temperature increases inside the deep freezer.
