•
Activate intensive freezing 24 hours prior freezing
fresh food. In models with knobs continuous
freezing is activated by pressing the knob E, and
in models without knobs by the button A (position
SF). After this period place fresh food in the
freezing compartment. In NO FROST freezer
model use central drawer for freezing.
Do not let the already frozen packages touch the
fresh ones.
NO FROST freezers require enough space under
the ceiling for the circulation of cold air, so avoid
storing the food above the marked level (see
photo).
•
After 24 hours you may move the food to the
storage compartment, and repeat the freezing
procedure if required.
You may also remove the drawers and store
frozen food directly on cooling shelves.
•
For freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2
kg), the engagement of the fast freeze function is
not required.
Freeze only such food which is suitable for
freezing and can sustain low temperatures.
Food should be of adequate quality and
fresh.
Select adequate packaging for each kind
of food and pack it correctly.
The packaging should be air tight and
well sealed without leaking since this
could cause substantial vitamin loss and
dehydration.
Mark packages with following data:Type,
kind and amount; with the date of placing.
It is imperative that food is frozen
as quickly as possible. We therefore
recommend the size of the package not
to be too large and to be cooled before
placing into the freezer.
