Three conditions of delicious Fresh Freezing
Tightly wrap the food.
•Wrap the food in plastic wrap, removing any air from inside.
•Divide the food into small packs with a thickness of about 2 cm.
•If, for example, polystyrene trays or sealed containers are used, temperature
transmission will be poor, making the food difficult to freeze.
Position the food flat and even on the aluminum plate.
•Keep a gap between the food. (Keep at least 5 mm space between food)
•Position the food packages flat and even on the aluminum plate and do not stack them on top of each
other.
Wrap hot food too.
•Tightly wrap hot food too.
•Using rice as an example, Fresh Freezing can be performed for about 2 rice bowls at one time.
Requests
●
Store ice creams which contain much milk fat etc. in the freezer compartment.
●
Do not insert bottles or cans. (They may split or burst.)
●
Do not insert food that is taller than the case.
(It will prevent the door from being closed properly, resulting in frost.)
Notices
●
Freezing may not be enough depending on types of food stored, packing conditions, amount stored and the
frequency of door opening. In that case, run the “FRESH FREEZING” again.
●
The sound becomes slightly louder during the Fresh Freezing operation but this is not an indication of a
malfunction.
