Storing Food In Your Freezer - Baumatic BR26A Instruction Manual

STORING FOOD IN YOUR FREEZER

Fresh foods – Foods to be
stored in the freezer should be in
good edible condition and
suitable for freezing BEFORE they
are put into the freezer.
Use correct
packaging and wrap items
correctly.
The packaging
should be airtight and
shouldn't leak since this
could cause substantial
vitamin loss and
dehydration from your food.
Foil and bags
should be applied carefully
to articles of food so that
they can be stored
systematically &
comfortably within the
freezer.
Mark your packages
with data such as: the type
and amount of food inside
the package, and the date
on which it was prepared
and loaded into the freezer.
NOTE:
available frozen food, make sure that
the packaging is neither sodden nor
covered with frost (snow) before you
place it in the freezer at home.
Defrosting
Frozen Food –
Partially thawed
or defrosted
food should be
used as soon
as possible.
Defrosted food
cannot be put
back in the
freezer unless
it has been
cooked first.
When buying commercially
It is very important that the
food is frozen as quickly as
possible. We therefore
recommend that the size of
the package not be too large.
It should also be sufficiently
cooled (at least to room
temperature) before being
inserted in the freezer
compartment.
The amount of fresh foods
that can be loaded into the
freezer within 24 hours is
indicated on the rating plate
(freezing capacity).
Food cut into small portions
will freeze faster & be easier
to defrost and cook. The
recommended weight for
each portion is 2.5kg.
The outside of any food
packaging should be dry
before being placed in the
freezer. All packages should
be odour-free, airtight &
non-toxic.
