HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER
How to freeze food and store fresh food.
Wrap and seal the fresh food in:
aluminium foil, clear film, impermeable plastic
bags, polyethylene containers with lids, special
freezer containers.
The food to be stored must be fresh, ripe and of the
best quality.
Fresh vegetables and fruit must be frozen
immediately after purchase, so as to retain the
nutritive value, structure, consistency, colour and
flavour.
Meat and game must be hung before freezing.
Note:
Always cool hot food before freezing.
Defrosted or partially defrosted food must be
consumed immediately. Do not refreeze food
unless you cook it and prepare individual servings
first. Once cooked, the defrosted food can be
frozen again.
Freezing and storing food
Place the food to be frozen in the freezer
compartments (see enclosed product chart).
Ice packs (if present) must be placed in the space
provided (see enclosed product chart).

refer to the adjacent table.
Classification of frozen foods.
Place the frozen products in the freezer and classify
them.
It is advisable to indicate the storage date on the
package, in order to ensure consumption within the
"best before" date.
