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;
• prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly 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 temperature
of the latter;
• water ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, can possibly
cause frost burns;
• it is advisable to show the freezing-
in date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep a tab of the
storage time;
• do nnot pput ccarbonated lliquids ((fizzy
drinks, eetc.) iin tthe ffreezer
compartment aas tthey mmay bburst.

necessary.
