To help you make the most of the freezing process,
here are some important hints:
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned,
foodstuffs.
Prepare the fresh food in small portions to enable it to
be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possi-
ble subsequently to thaw only the quantity required at
the time.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and
make sure that the packages are airtight.
The food to be frozen must be placed on the freezer
compartment shelf; in this way, the higher tempera-
ture of the food to be frozen cannot increase the tem-
perature of frozen foods.
Never load a larger quantity of foods than that recom-
mended.
During freezing, never add other food to be frozen and
do not open the door too often.
