Storing Food.

FREEZING FRESH FOODS -

•Carefully select food you intend to freeze: it should be of high quality and thoroughly cleaned before freezing it.

•Use correct packaging suitable for the freezer.

-The packaging should be air tight and should not leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods.

-Foils and bags should be soft enough to wrap tightly around foods.

•Mark packages with the following data:

-The kind and quantity of foods.

-The date of loading.

•Prepare fresh foods for freezing in small quantities to ensure that the food freezes quicker and its quality does not deteriorate during thawing and preparation.

•Dry packs of food to be frozen so that they do not freeze together.

•The quantity 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.

•Don’t put liquid filled bottles or sealed cans containing fizzy drinks into the freezer as they may burst.

•Don’t try to keep food which has thawed, it should be eaten within 24 hours, or cooked and refrozen.

•Don’t give children lollipops and water ices directly from the freezer, the low temperature may cause ‘freezer burns’ on their lips.

•Never store poisonous, dangerous substances, products that contain flammable gasses (eg. aerosols) or exposive substances in the appliance. Explosion hazard! Your appliance has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

FREEZING PROCEDURE -

•If you have a model without the integrat- ed switch for intensive cooling, turn the thermostat knob to position 4-6 some 24 hours before loading. After 24 hours load the freezer shelf with fresh food packages. Some 24 hours after loading, turn the thermostat knob to operating position if necessary (see "Temperature selection"), and then reload the frozen

packages into the storage baskets (stor- ing compartment).

•If you have a model with integrated switch for intensive cooling, switch it on some 24 hours before loading the appli- ance with larger amounts of fresh foods and turn the thermostat knob to position 4-6. After 24 hours load the appliance with fresh food packages. After loading, wait for another 24 hours and switch off the switch and turn the thermostat knob to required position (see "Temperature selection").

•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 -

Store commercially frozen foods according to the manufacturer’s recommended stor- age instructions as indicated on the pack- aging.

When shopping select frozen foods last and be careful in choosing adequately packed foods. Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it in the freezer as soon as possi- ble. Don’t buy packages of food with a frost layer, this indicates that the package has been at least partially thawed before.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD -

Partially thawed or defrosted food should be used as soon as possible. Cold air pre- serves the food but it does not destroy micro-organisms which rapidly activate after defrosting and make foods perishable.
