Rules for freezing fresh food

Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned

foods.

Split them into small portions to speed up freezing

and avoid having to thaw more food than you require.

It is in fact important to remember that once food has

thawed out, it deteriorates fast.

Another point to remember is that lean foods keep

better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces

storage time.

Wrap the food in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring that

the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well

sealed.

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might

well burst.

In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the

freezer compartment and take care not to ﬁll

recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a lid.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezing compartment, can cause frost burns.

It is a good idea to mark packs so that you can keep a

check on storage periods.

Never open the freezer door or introduce new foods if

the freezer is on fast freeze operation.

Important

If accidental thawing occurs – due to a power cut for

example – food must be used up very quickly or else

cooked immediately and refrozen. If, however, the

power failure is relatively brief (from 6 to 8 hours)

and the freezer compartment is packed full, the frozen

food will not suffer any damage.

Note

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.

Storage of deep frozen foods

When the freezer is started up for the ﬁrst time, or

after an idle period, turn the N/S knob to the fast

freeze setting described above, and wait at least two

hours before loading the food to be stored. Then, turn

the knob back to the storage position.

If the freezer is already in operation, there is no need

to wait.

Useful hints

Alway check the date shown on deep frozen foods on

sale and eat them before the expiry date.

Do not open the door too often and leave it open only

as long as necessary; the temperature increase in fact

reduces the food storage life.

Make sure all packages are in good condition,

otherwise foods might deteriorate.

If the packages show signs of humidity or have

swollen, the foods may not have been properly stored,

so that the product has lost its original quality.

When deep frozen foods are bought, always use a

thermal bag; they should always be bought last of all.

Wrap them in newspaper sheets and store them in the

freezer as soon as you get home. Check the product

carefully when you buy it, as unfrozen foods cannot

be frozen again and must be eaten within 24 hours.

Thawing

Before being used, deep-frozen and frozen food can

be thawed out either in the refrigerator or at room

temperature, depending on the time available for this

operation.

Small pieces of food can be cooked straight out of the

freezer, without any intermediate thawing operation.

In this case, cooking time will be longer than in the

case of thawed food.
