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
•
If you have a model without the integrated
switch for intensive cooling
, turn the
thermostat knob to position
4-6
some 24 hours
before loading. After 24 hours load the freezer
shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours
after loading, turn the thermostat knob to
operating position if necessary (see
Temperature selection), and then reload the
frozen packages into the storage baskets.
•
If you have a model with integrated switch
for intensive cooling,
switch it on some 24
hours before loading the appliance with larger
amounts of fresh foods and turn the thermostat
knob to position
4-6
. After 24 hours load the
appliance with fresh food packages. After
loading, wait for another 24 hours and switch off
the switch and turn the thermostat knob to
required position (see Temperature selection).
The switch is ON when the marking
(
I
) or
colour marking is visible, and OFF when the
marking (
STOP
) 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
Packages of frozen foods are stored in baskets. If
you remove the baskets, you can store frozen
packages directly on the cooling shelves
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.
