servation time you are recommended
to label each frozen item by affixing a
date on them.
• Freezer is used for storing the frozen or
deep frozen food for a long time and for
producing ice.
• When freezing fresh food (for example,
meat, fish and ground meat) divide them
into amounts that you may use at once.
• In order to preserve frozen food, you
should follow the producer's instructions
on the food; if no instruction was affixed
on the food, the food must be preserved
maximum for a period of 3 months.
• When buying frozen food, make sure
that the food has gotten frozen at
appropriate temperatures and that the
package is not damaged.
• Frozen food must be carried in the
proper containers for preservation of
the quality and should be placed in the
freezer compartment of the appliance
as soon as possible.
• If you notice humidity and swelling on
the package of the food, it is likely that
it had been kept under improper tempe-
rature and the content is spoiled.
• Shelf life of a frozen food depends on
the room temperature, temperature
setting of the freezer compartment,
frequency of fridge's door's opening,
type of the food and the time necessary
to carry the food from supermarket to
home. Always abide by the instructions
on the package and never exceed the
indicated storage duration.
• Prepare your food in small portions so
as to allow a quick and complete freeze
and to allow thawing only the required
amount.
• After thawing, food will spoil quickly and
it should not be frozen again.
• If the frozen food taken out of the deep
freezer is placed in the bottom drawer
one day before, it thaws there and
supports the cooling in the fridge. That
saves energy. If the items in the freezer
are directly placed outside, this will cause
energy loss.
• The frozen meat should be cooked just
like fresh meat once it is thawed. If the
meat is not cooked after being thawed;
it should never ever be frosted again.
• The taste of some spices found in co-
oked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress,
vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic,
onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black
pepper, etc.) changes and they assume
a strong taste when they are stored for a
long period. Therefore, the frozen food
should be added little amount of spices
or the desired spice should be added
after the food has been thawed.
