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
24 hours before loading the freezer with
fresh foods to be frozen, set the
thermostat to position
3
-
5
. Put packages
on the shelf and let them freeze. Some
24 hours after loading the packages of
fresh foods, reset the thermostat, if
necessary, to operating temperature.
(See Temperature Selection) and reload
the frozen packages to the bottom shelf.
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 where the
temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do
not buy packages of food covered with frost
layer. This indicates that the package was
thawed before at least once. Be careful that
packages don't start to thaw, as the
temperature raise reduces the quality of
foods.
