Freezing Fresh Foods
• Carefully select food you intend to freeze; it should be of adequate quality
and suitable for freezing.
• Use correct packaging and wrap it right.
- The packaging should be airtight and shouldn’t leak since this could cause
substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.
- Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods.
• Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date
of loading.
• It is most important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
Therefore we recommend the size of the package not to be too large and
to be cooled before loading into the freezer.
• The amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24
hours is indicated on the rating plate (freezing capacity).
If the loaded amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which
affects the quality of frozen foods.
Freezing Procedure
• 24 hours before loading the freezer with fresh foods to be frozen, set the
thermostat to position 3-5. Put packages on the shelf and let them freeze.
Some 24 hours after loading the packages of fresh foods, reset the
thermostat, if necessary, to operating temperature. (See Temperature
Selection) and reload the frozen packages to the bottom shelf.
• The next time you want to freeze fresh foods, repeat the freezing
procedure and be careful that packages with fresh foods do not touch
frozen packages.
• For freezing smaller amount of foods (up to 1 kg) there is no need to
change the thermostat setting (see Temperature Selection).
Storing Frozen Foods
Frozen foods can be stored on the bottom of the appliance or on the shelf.
Commercially Frozen Foods
The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and
using consider the manufacturer’s instruction.
When shopping, be careful and choose only adequately packed foods
provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is
not higher than OT.
Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the
package was thawed before at least once.
Be careful that packages don’t start to thaw, as the temperature raise
reduces the quality of foods.
