Smeg CV10B Storing Frozen Foods, Defrosting of Frozen Food, Storing Commercially Frozen Foods

Some 24 hours after the last load, set the thermostat knob to the position for automatic operation (yellow light is off).

There is no need to set the thermostat knob to the position for continuous operation if you intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh foods (1-2 kg).

Storing Frozen Foods

Packages of frozen foods are stored in the basket. If you remove the baskets, you can store frozen packages directly on the cooling shelves.

Storing Commercially Frozen Foods

The storage time of commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. For storing and use consider manufacturer's instruction. When shopping, be careful to choose only foods which are adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C.

Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once.

Packages of frozen foods should be carried well wrapped covered and as soon as possible stored in the freezer. A temperature rise shortens the storage time of commercially frozen foods.

Defrosting of 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 themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.

Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.
