FREEZING FOOD
Preparation of fresh food for freezing
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium
foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags,
polyethylene containers with lids, provided they are
suitable for freezing foods.
• 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.
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
appliance.
Freezing fresh food
• Place foods to be frozen in direct contact with the walls
of appliance:
A) - foods to be frozen,
B) - foods already frozen.
• Avoid placing foods to be
frozen in direct contact with
food already frozen.
• For best and fastest freezing,
foods should be split into small
portions; this will also be useful
when the frozen items are to
be used.

into the appliance and
classify them; The storage
date should be indicated on

Advice for storing frozen
food
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the
package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have
been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may
have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last
and transport the products in a thermally insulated cool
bag.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
appliance.
• Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.
• Always observe the storage information on the package.
Note:
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.
If there is a long power failure:
• Do not open the appliance lid except to place ice packs
(if provided) over the frozen foods on the right and left
of the appliance. This will slow down the rise in
temperature.
