Freezing food

Set the freezer to quick-freezing operational status.

Wait at least 3 hours before introducing fresh foods

into the freezer if it has only recently been turned

on.

If the freezer has already been working for some

time, turn the respective knob to the «S» position at

least 24 hours before introducing the food into the

freezer in order to ensure better freezing results.

This period of time may be shortened according to

the quantity of food.

When quick-freezing is being performed, the

compressor works continuously, employing all of its

refrigerating power to the maximum.

Keep the knob as it is for another 24 hours after the

introduction of the food into the freezer and then

return the knob to the «N» position.

Bear in mind the freezing capacity of your freezer;

that is, the maximum quantity of food that may be

frozen in 24 hours.

This freezing capacity is 18 kg.

Distribute the packages as shown in Figure 7.

The wire shelf should be turned downwards.

Arrange the foods to be frozen in the upper

compartment, so that these do not come into contact

with already-frozen products because the higher

surface temperature of the food to be frozen might

cause an increase in the surface temperature of the

already frozen products.

When the necessary freezing time has elapsed,

distribute the newly-frozen foods into the drawers

to free the compartment for new foods to be frozen.

Rules to observe when freezing foods

All products to be frozen must be fresh and of

excellent quality.

Each freezing package must be adjusted to the

family's consumption quantity in order to be used

just once.

Small-sized freezing packages allow a more rapid

and uniform freezing.

Do not forget that once frozen foods have thawed

out, they spoil rapidly.

Low-fat content foods are better conserved in the

freezer than those with higher fat content. Salt

(whenever present) reduces the duration of

satisfactory conservation.

Foods to be frozen must be enclosed in air-tight

sacks or containers especially indicated for this

purpose.

Close these sacks or containers tightly to eliminate

all air.

Never place bottles or cans of carbonated beverages

in the freezer. These might explode.

Never introduce hot foods or liquids.

Never ﬁll the freezing sacks or containers with

covers to the brim.

Do not consume certain products (popsicles, etc.)

immediately after removing them from the freezer,

because their extremely low temperature might

cause burns.

Indicate the freezing date on every sack or

container as a means of controlling conservation

times.

Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods

to be frozen whenever a Quick-freezing phase is

already in progress.

A special card is located in the holder on the inner

door of the freezer compartment. On the upper part

it shows pictures of different types of food followed

by a ﬁgure. These ﬁgures indicate the maximum

storage time, in months, for each type of food.

Details of food being stored, can also be written in

pencil on the lower part of the card.

Important

When electrical current happens to be cut off, the

freezer door must not be opened. If the power

failure is short (up to 6-8 hours) and the freezer is

full, there is no risk that the food will spoil.

If the power failure lasts longer, the food must be

consumed as rapidly as possible, or otherwise

cooked and re-frozen again.
