Helpful hints and tips
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here
are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in
24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food
to be frozen should be added during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rap-
idly and completely frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in tem-
perature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause
the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the stor-
age time.

food manufacturer.
