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.

Frozen food storage

When the freezer is being turned on for the ﬁrst time,

or after a prolonged period of disuse, turn the N/S

knob to the Quick-freezing position and then wait at

least two hours before introducing the food to be

conserved.

You may then return the knob to the «N» position.

This two-hour waiting period may be avoided if the

freezer has already been in operation.

Helpful hints

Always check the preparation date indicated on the

frozen foods you buy and respect the expiration time

provided by the producer.

Do not open the freezer door too often and leave it

open only for the minimum time necessary.

Unnecessary increases in temperature will notably

reduce the duration of the frozen food conservation.

Make sure that all frozen food packages are intact;

otherwise the food may have spoiled.

If such packages present signs of swelling or

humidity marks, this means that the food has not been

conserved correctly, implying that the product has lost

some of its original quality.

When buying frozen foods, carry them in a thermally

insulated shopping bag whenever possible. In any

case, always purchase frozen foods at the end of your

shopping. Wrap the frozen foods in newspaper and

then put them into the freezer as soon as you arrive

home.

Always check the frozen foods you buy carefully at

the moment of purchase, because even partially-

thawed foods must not be re-frozen but must be

consumed within 24 hours of purchase.

Thawing-out frozen foods

Frozen foods must be allowed to thaw out before use

either in the refrigerator (meat, poultry, ﬁsh, etc.) or at

room temperature (all other foods) according to the

available time.

Frozen products which come in small-sized or

separate packages may be cooked directly without

thawing; obviously, in this case, the cooking time will

last a little longer.
