be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into portions
according to the family's daily or meal based
consumption needs.
• Foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight
manner to prevent them from drying even if they
are going to be kept for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging must be
tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor,
oils and acids and they must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed and they
must be made from easy-to-use materials that
are suitable for deep freeze usage.

compartment causes the cooling system to
operate continuously until the food is frozen
solid.

possible after purchase.

and when necessary, must be consumed
immediately or must be frozen after cooked.
