Freezing Food - Amica GB 15341 W Notice D'utilisation

Storage of food in the freezer
Observe the following recommen-
dations to ensure the food remains
fresh.

Freezing food

l Practically all the food products, except for
vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce
can be frozen.
l Only food products of the highest quality,
divided into small portions for single use,
should be frozen.
l Products should be packed in materials that
are odourless, resistant to air and moisture
penetration, and not susceptible to fat.
Plastic bags, polyethylene and aluminium
sheets are the best wrapping materials.
l The packaging should be tight and should
stick to the frozen products. Do not use
glass containers.
l Keep the fresh and warm foodstuff at am-
bient temperature away from the products,
which have already been frozen.
l We advise not to place more than 2 kg of
fresh food at a time to the freezer per day
(see table on page 59).
l In order to maintain good quality of the
frozen food, reorganise the food that is in
the middle of the freezer, so that it does not
touch the products that are not frozen yet.
l It is recommended to move the already
frozen products to one side and place the
fresh products that are to be frozen to the
opposite side, as close to the rear and side
walls as possible.
