Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage compartment or
home freezer.
•
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase to
avoid thawing. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow them
regarding storage times.
•
The freezer door is susceptible to breakage due to excessive ice buildup. Be
sure to defrost when the ice becomes 1/4 inch thick.
Freezing Fresh Food
Be sure that your freezing operations are carried out under the most hygienic
conditions since freezing alone does not sterilize the food. It is advisable to
freeze the food by packing it into separate meal portions and not in bulk form.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the freezer. Prior to storing the food,
pack it in plastic bags, aluminum sheets or freezing containers and place into the
freezer.
:
NOTES:
Never put bottled food or drinks into the freezer.
For best performance, leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate
around the packages.

well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
