Freezing Fresh Foods
•
Carefully select food you intend to freeze; the food 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; this may
cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of the foods.
-
Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the
foods.
•
Mark the packages with the 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.
•
We recommend that the size of the package not to be too large and to be
cooled off 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. If the loaded amount is too large,
the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
•
24 hours before loading the freezer with fresh foods, set the thermostat
position between 4 and 7. Place the packages on the shelf and let them
freeze. And 24 hours after loading the packages reset the thermostat if
necessary to an operating temperature.
•
The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing
procedure and be careful that the packages containing fresh foods do not
touch the frozen packages.
•
When freezing smaller amounts of food (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.
