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.
• When preparing foods to be frozen, consider
sanitary precautions.
• 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
• Before it starts freezing, set the thermostat
to the position 5-7 for 24 hours. 24 hours
from the time when fresh food was put in the
appliance turn the thermostat dial to the
operating temperature (see temperature

is necessary to turn OFF the switch, which
has previously been engaged.
• 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 the
basket. 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.
