    Instructions for the user 5. ARRANGING FOODS INSIDE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping or cover. This precaution will: conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness; prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes; prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables).

  • Page 8: Freezing Foods

    Instructions for the User 7. FREEZING FOODS For proper storage and freezing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not more than 1 kg and meat and fish up to a max. of 2 kg. Small packages of food freeze more quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and preparation.

    Instructions for the user To prevent deterioration of frozen foods, do not exceed the permitted storage date, which depends on the type of food. 7.2 Thawing frozen foods Partially thawed foods should be eaten as soon as possible. Low temperatures preserve foods but they do not destroy the micro-organisms which are activated after thawing, which may cause the stored foods to deteriorate.
