Freezing fresh food

•It must be preferred to wrap or cover the food before placing them in the refrigerator.

•Hot food must cool down to the room temperature before putting them in the refrigerator.

•The foodstuff that you want to freeze must be fresh and in good quality.

•Foodstuff must be divided into portions according to the family’s daily or meal based consumption needs.

•The foodstuff must be packaged in an airtight manner to prevent them from drying even if they are going to be kept for a short time.

•Materials to be used for packaging must be tear-proof and resistant to cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids and they must also be airtight.

Moreover, they must be well closed and they must be made from easy- to-use materials that are suitable for deep freeze usage.

•Frozen food must be used immediately after they are thawed and they should never be re-frozen.

•Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

1. Do not freeze too large quantities

of food at one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

2.Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the cooling system to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid.

3.Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
