FREEZER COMPARTMENT
FREEZER
COMPARTMENT
Fresh food for fast freezing
should be placed in the bot¬
tom basket and then trans¬
ferred to the drawers when
frozen. The maximum fast
freezing capacity is 9 kg in a
24 hour period. Never exceed
this quantity stated in one
freezing batch.
THERMOMETER
The electronic thermometer
consists of 6 pilot lights. Each
pilot light corresponds to a set
temperature for the food
stored in the freezer. If the do¬
or is opened too often or left
open for too long, the temper¬
ature shown can vary slightly.
Considerable variations in
temperature can also occur if
the quantity of food to be froz¬
en exceeds the maximum
amount indicated on the rat¬
ing plate.
SOME USEFUL
HINTS FOR
FREEZING
• The fresh foods to be frozen
must be fresh and of the
best quality.
• The size of each pack should
be small enough to ensure
that it is used in one go.
Small-sized packs freeze
more quickly and uniform¬
ly, and give better results.
• Frozen food, once thawed,
must not be refrozen.
• Lean food keeps better and
longer than fatty food, salt
reduces the storage time.
• Wrap the food in polythene
or aluminium freezing bags
or foil, so that they adhere
to the food and provide an
airtight seal. Stick a label
on each pack showing the
contents and date of freez¬
ing. This makes it easy to
check storage times. The
same information can be
copied onto the record cards
in the door.
• Never place hot food, bot¬
tles or cans of fizzy drink in
the freezer as they may ex¬
plode. Containers with a lid
must not be filled to the
brim.
• Do not open the door or
place extra fresh food in the
freezer during the fast
freezing process. Never put
food to be frozen next to
food which is already frozen
as this could cause the tem¬
perature of the frozen food
to rise and its quality and
storage life to reduce.
