Consult a specialized manual when packaging foods
for freezing.
- Remember that you should never re-freeze products
you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially: cook
the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze
it.
- When freezing fresh foods, remember that they
should not touch other previously frozen or deep fro-
zen foods. Place the food that you wish to freeze in the
top compartment where the temperature will fall below
-18°C, which is ideal
for freezing food properly. Remember that proper con-
ser-vation depends on the speed of freezing.
- Do not open the freezer door during freezing.
- Freeze only the quantities (in kg) shown on the data
plate on the left of the container.
- For the best conservation and defrosting, remember
to freeze small portions; this will ensure rapid and uni-
form freezing. Mark package with a description of the
contents and the date it was frozen.
- In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not
open the freezer door. This will help maintain the tem-
perature inside the freezer ensuring that foods are con-
served for at least 17 hours.
- Do not store full bottles in the freezer since they
could explode when they freeze. (Remember that liquids in
crease in volume when frozen)
- If the room temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-
tended period of time the freezer will not reach the tempera-
tures required for storage, and storage life will be shorter. In
this case, frozen foodstuffs should be used within a relatively
short period of time.
- Fill the ice container so that they are no more indication of
line.
- Install the appliance correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away
from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated
room.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one
of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not
only consume a great deal of energy but will neither
improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Ex-
cessively low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables,
cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good
air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent
this circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-
ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air
will be lost.
The motor will have to run, and consume energy, to restore
the correct temperature.
- Check the door gaskets
keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
