Freezing and storing frozen food
Freezing procedure
INFORMATION!
Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is specified on the appliance rating
plate. If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing
will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate.
•
To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers.
•
Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food:
-
press the H key.
To make sure the food freezes as quickly as possible, lay out the packages as described below:
•
Divide fresh food into smaller packages (1 kg). Place two packages against the back wall along
the left and right edge of the upper drawer, one package in the middle in front of them (also in the
upper drawer), and one package in the middle drawer, against the middle of the back wall.
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.
•
When freezing smaller amounts of food (1-2 kilograms), activating the super freeze function is not
required.
Important warnings on freezing
INFORMATION!
Only use the freezer to freeze food appropriate for freezing. Always use quality and fresh food.
Select the most suitable packaging for the food and use the packaging correctly.
Make sure the packaging is air and water tight so that the food does not dry out and loose its
vitamins.
Indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing on the packaging.
It is important that the food freezes quickly. Therefore, smaller packages are recommended.
Refrigerate the food before freezing.
Storing industrially frozen food
•
When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature and
expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
•
Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of –18 °C or
lower.
•
Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates it has been partly thawed several times
and that it is of inferior quality.
•
Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature, storage
time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
