Freezing
The amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated on the appliance date plate.
For optimum appliance performance, press the fast freeze button,
if present, (until the yellow led light up) 24 hours before placing
fresh food in the freezer.
Place food to be frozen in the compartments for freezing
(see enclosed product sheet).
After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on fast freeze
function is generally sufficient; After 24 hours, deactivate the fast
freeze function.
Important:
When freezing only small amounts of food, the food can be placed
in any compartment, with the exception of the bottom drawer.
Furthermore, in order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food the fast freeze function need not necessarily be
activated.
Tips for freezing and storing fresh food.
Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for
freezing fresh food.
Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to
obtain high quality frozen food.
Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon
as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value,
consistency, colour and flavour.
Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.
Note:
Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not
refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once
cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
