Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rat-
ing plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be added
during this period.
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thorough-
ly cleaned, foodstuffs.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
plastic and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food which is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in temperature of the latter.
• Lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.

after removal from the freezer compartment,

burnt.
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date
on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozenfood

pliance, you should:

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.

and cannot be refrozen.
