FREEZING AND STORING

FROZEN FOOD

556532

Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is

specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to

be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing

will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen

will deteriorate.

• 24 hours before freezing, rotate the thermostat knob to position 5-7. After 24 hours

of super freeze operation, insert the fresh food onto the freezer compartment shelf.

Approximately 24 hours after inserting the fresh food into the appliance, rotate

the thermostat knob to normal operating temperature (see section Selecting the

temperature).

Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.

• To freeze smaller amounts of food (up to 1 kg), adjusting the thermostat knob setting is

not necessary (observe the instructions in the section Choosing the Temperature).

FREEZING PROCESS

Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer.

Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.

Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.

Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be

airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.

Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of

freezing.

It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.

Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before

freezing.
