Freezing and storing frozen food

The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.).

The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening

The LONGFRESH 0°C compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the LONGFRESH 0°C compartment for up to two days.

Tips:

Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.

The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation condi- tions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.

Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.

Animal food always store packed and dry.

Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a 0°C compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.

All food stored in a 0°C compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour.

Freezing and storing frozen food

The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.

Important!

The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or cold- er before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac- turer.
