5.12. Freezing fresh food

• To preserve food quality, the
food items placed in the freezer
compartment must be frozen as
quickly as possible, use the rapid
freezing for this.
• Freezing the food items when fresh
will extend the storage time in the
freezer compartment.
• Pack the food items in air-tight packs
and seal tightly.
• Make sure the food items are packed
before putting in the freezer. Use
freezer holders, tinfoil and damp-
proof paper, plastic bag or similar
packaging materials instead of
traditional packaging paper.

5.13. Recommendations
for storing frozen foods
The compartment must be set to at least
-18°C.
1. Place the food items in the freezer as
quickly as possible to avoid defrosting.
2. Before freezing, check the "Expiry Date"
on the package to make sure it is not
expired.
3. Make sure the food's packaging is not
damaged.
Cooler
4°C This is the default, recommended setting.
These settings are recommended for ambient
4°C
temperatures exceeding 30°C.
Use this to freeze food items in a short time. The
4°C product will reset to previous settings when the
process is completed.
Use these settings if you believe the cooler
2°C compartment is not cold enough due to ambient
temperature or frequently opening the door.
• Mark each food pack by writing the
date on the package before freezing.
This will allow you to determine the
freshness of each pack every time the
freezer is opened. Keep the earlier
food items in the front to ensure they
are used first.
• Frozen food items must be used
immediately after defrosting and
should not be frozen again.
• Do not froze large quantities of food
at once.
