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.

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.

Food to be frozen must be put in the freezer compartment. (They should not be allowed to come in contact with the previously frozen items to prevent their partial thawing. Freezing capacity of our product is given in the technical

specifications of your refrigerator.)

Periods given in the information about deep freeze must be obeyed for storage times.

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

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

Do not freeze too large quantites of food at once one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h which is 13 kg.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration compressor to operate continuously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

You may place the fresh food to be frozen in any place you like in the freezer. However, we recommend you to use quick freeze compartment for fastest freezing.

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

Recommendation for Preservation of Frozen Food

Prepacked commercially frozen food

should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a ( 4 star) frozen food storage compartment.

To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the food retailer is maintained, the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Ensure that contents are labelled and dated.

3. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.

If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door. Even if the power failure lasts up to 8 hours, frozen food will not be affected. In case the failure lasts longer, the food must be checked and when necessary, must be consumed immediately or must be frozen after cooked.

* If you remove freezer compartment drawer and icebox to increase the volume, section over the line shown in the figure below

becomes two star section. Use this volume only for short-term storage of food.

Defrosting

The fridge and freezer compartments defrost automatically.
