Freezing fresh food
x
To preserve food quality, the food items
placed in the freezer compartment must
be frozen as quickly as possible, use the
rapid freezing for this.
x
Freezing food items when fresh will extend
the storage time in the freezer
compartment.
x
Pack the food items in air-tight packs and
seal tightly.
x
Make sure the food items are packed
before putting in the freezer. Use freezer
holders, tinfoil and damp-proof paper,
plastic bag or similar packaging materials
instead of traditional packaging paper.
x
Mark each food pack by writing the date
on the package before freezing. This will
allow you to determine the freshness of
each pack every time the freezer is
opened. Keep the earlier food items in the
front to ensure they are used first.
x
Frozen food items must be used
immediately after defrosting and must not
be frozen again.
x
Do not freeze large quantities of food all at
once.
2. Before freezing, check the “Expiry Date”
on the package to make sure it has not
expired.
3. Make sure the food’s packaging is not
damaged.
Deep freezer details
As per the IEC 62552 standards, the freezer
must have the capacity to freeze 4,5 kg of
food items at -18°C or lower temperatures in
24 hours for each 100 litres of freezer
compartment volume. Food items can only
be preserved for extended periods at or
below temperatures of -18°C . You can keep
the foods fresh for months (in deep freezer
at or below temperatures of 18°C ).
Food items to be frozen must not come into
contact with the already frozen food inside
the freezer to avoid partial defrosting of the
already frozen food.
Boil the vegetables and filter the water to
extend the frozen storage time. Place the
food in air tight packages after filtering and
place in the freezer. Bananas, tomatoes,
lettuce, celery, boiled eggs, potatoes and
similar food items should not be frozen.
Freezing these food items will simply reduce
the nutritional value and food quality, as well
as possible spoiling which is harmful to
health.
