Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can

be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-

ing plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No

further food to be frozen should be add-

ed during this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thor-

oughly cleaned foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable

it to be rapidly and completely frozen

and to make it possible subsequently to

thaw only the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the pack-

ages are airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen, thus

avoiding a rise in temperature of the lat-

ter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than

fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of

food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately af-

ter removal from the freezer compart-

ment, can possibly cause the skin to be

freeze burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to enable

you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely necessary.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapid-

ly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period indica-

ted by the food manufacturer.

Never use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products or wax

compressor at the back of the appliance

with a brush . This operation will improve

the performance of the appliance and save

electricity consumption.
