Storage of food in the fridge-freezer
Observe the following recommen- dations to
ensure the food remains fresh.
Freezing food
l
Practically all the food products, except for ve-
getables consumed raw, such as lettuce can be
frozen.
l
Only food products of the highest quality, divided
into small portions for single use, should be fro-
zen.
l
Products should be packed in materials that are
odourless, resistant to air and moisture pene-
tration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic bags,
polyethylene and aluminium sheets are the best
wrapping materials.
l
The packaging should be tight and should stick
to the frozen products. Do not use glass conta-
iners.
l
Keep fresh and warm foodstuff at am- bient
temperature away from the products, which have
already been frozen.
l
We advise you not to place more of fresh food
at a time to the freezer per day (see table witch
technical specification).
l
In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen
food, reorganise the food that is in the middle of
the freezer, so that it does not touch the products
that are not yet frozen.
l
It is recommended that you move the already fro-
zen products to one side and place the fresh pro-
ducts that are to be frozen on the opposite side, as
close to the rear and side walls as possible.
l
To freezing products, use space marked (*/***).
l
Bear in mind that the temperature in the fre-
ezer is affected by several factors, including
the ambient temperature and the quantity of
food products in the chamber, the frequency
of opening the door, the amount of frost in the
freezer, and the thermostat setting.
l
If you cannot open the freezer door immedia-
tely after closing it, allow 1-2 minutes for the
negative pressure to com- pensate, and try
again to open the door.
The storage time for frozen products depends on
their quality before freezing when fresh, and on the
storage temperature. The following storage periods
are recommended when the temperature of -18°C
or lower is maintained:
