HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. 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;
• only freeze 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 pol-
ythene and make sure that the packages
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;

CARE AND CLEANING

carrying out any maintenance
operation.

Periodic cleaning

can possibly cause the skin to be freeze
burnt;

on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food

ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in

ted by the food manufacturer.
