Helpful Hints and Tips
Hints for Freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this
period; only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstus;
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight; do not
allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature
of the latter;
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
Hints for Storage of Frozen Food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance , you should:
• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstus were adequately stored by the retailer;
• Be sure that frozen foodstus are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest
possible time;
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary. Once defrosted,
food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Hints for Refrigeration
Useful hints:
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• Make (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelves above the vegetable drawer
• For safety , store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods , cold dishes, etc ...: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s)
provided. butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminum foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible. Bananas, potatoes, onions and
garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the fridge.
• Milk bottle: these should have a cap and should be stored in the balconies on the door.
