The freezer compartment can be used to store perishable
foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow
down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all
valuable ingredients are largely retained.
Long-term storage of food should be at 0°F (–18°C) or
lower.

the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavor and color:
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
▯
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar
▯
or ascorbic acid solution.

literature.
