Tips on Freezing

-Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it

-Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods for freezing.

-For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing. Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen.

-Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data plate on the inside of the freezer.

-Turn the "A" knob to the Super setting.

-Place the fresh food that is being frozen into the top com- partment "D", making sure not to place them near food that has already been frozen, but preferably in contact with the cooling surfaces. In fact, proper food storage depends on the speed at which the fresh food is frozen. For this reason, we suggest that the temperature knob be placed on the Super setting 24 hours before fresh food is placed in the appliance to be frozen.

-During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the freezer.

-Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light will turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen.

-After 24 hours have passed and the fresh food has been frozen, turn the "A" knob back to one of the normal settings.

Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy.

-In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved for at least 20 hours.

-Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst.

-Fill the ice cube trays three-quarters of the way full.

Storage

For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the thermostat knob below 1, regardless of the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures of up to 25°-27°C, the thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32°C the setting should be between 2 and 3.

Followtheinstructionsonthepackagesoffrozenfoodsscrupulously. If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

When purchasing frozen foods, make sure that they have been stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them in the freezer immediately.

If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it is likely that the package was stored at an inadequate temperature and the food has deteriorated.
