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 -18°C. 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 rise in temperature
reduces the quality of foods.
Defrosting Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold
air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly
activate after defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits,
vegetables and ready-made meals.
Ice Making
Recommended thermostat position for ice
making is on the middle setting.
Fill two thirds of the ice tray with cold
water or any other liquid convenient for
freezing. Insert the ice tray into the guides
or on the cooling plate. Time required for
the ice to form, largely depends on
ambient temperature, thermostat setting
and on how often you open the door. It
usually takes 2-6 hours (depends on which model of refrigerator you have).
With smaller refrigerators we recommend you make a stock of ice cubes
(store them in a separate plastic box). The easiest way to empty the ice tray
is to turn the tray around, pour it with cold water and slightly twist it (bend it).
