Quick-Freezing; Tips And Hints - Jocel JC-350LNF Instruction Manual

QUICK FREEZING
• Quick freezing allows moisture inside foodstuffs to form fine ice-crystals which prevent the
cell membrane from being damaged and the cytoplasm being lost when unfreezing, thus
the original freshness and nutrition constituent of foodstuffs can be retained.
• Fresh meat and fish to be stored for long time must be done by quick freezing.
• To quick freeze turn the temperature knob to setting "5" before adding food.
NOTE; the maximum allowable capacity is 3KG at a time.
After quick freezing, turn the knob back to the original position (Normally time for quick
freezing shall not exceed 4 hours).

TIPS AND HINTS

Fresh foods such as fish and meat can be frozen to maintain freshness, and keep the
nutrients in the food.
Wrap food to be frozen or place it in an airtight container.
Do not allow already frozen food into direct contact with food to be frozen.
Ready frozen food should be placed it in freezer as soon as possible.
Storage of frozen food
When using the freezer for the first time or after defrosting, turn the thermostat knob to '7' for 2
hours before introducing the food. Reset to
normal position 2 hours after introducing food.
Wrap food to be frozen or place it in an airtight container.
Do not allow already frozen food into direct contact with food to be frozen.
Ready frozen food should be placed it in freezer as soon as possible.
Storage of fresh food
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, wrapped in film, placed in an airtight bag or
container. This will prevent it from dehydrating and prevent strong smells contaminating other
food.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods.
Fruit and vegetables should be stored in the bottom box with the glass cover in place.
Space should be left between food items to allow free movement of cold air.
Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing.
