Freezing and storing
frozen food
Things to remember
when buying ultra-frozen
products
Make sure that the wrapping on the
frozen product is not or has not been
damaged in any way.
Check the best before/expiry dates on
food. Make sure that these have not
passed.
The temperature indication on the
freezer at the establishment where you
purchase your food should show a
minimum temperature of -18ºC.
Whenever possible take the products
home straight away in an isothermal bag.
Freezing fresh food at
home
Warning!
Do not use materials which may be
harmful to the health when wrapping or
sealing food.
Suitable material to wrap food up in
Plastic film, polyethylene bags and film,
aluminium foil, boxes and containers
specially designed for frozen food.
Suitable material to seal food
wrapping with
Elastic bands, plastic clips, string,
nonfreezable adhesive tape, etc.
Whenever possible, ensure that frozen
food already in the freezer compartment
does not come into contact with the fresh
food you wish to freeze.
Information about the max. freezing
capacity according to current
standards can be found on the rating
plate.
The maximum freezing capacity for
fresh food in 24 h (distributed on the
freezer racks) is indicated on the
characteristics plate (in Kg/24h), see
figure !!0.
In order for it to maintain its nutritional
value, vitamins and appearance, it is
necessary to freeze the middle of the
food as fast as possible. For this reason,
the appliance’s maximum freezing
capacity should not be exceeded.
In the event of needing to freeze a large
quantity of foodstuff, all the freezer
drawers can be removed (except the
lowermost drawer) and the food can be
stacked on the freezer shelves. To
remove the drawers, pull them out to
their limit and then tilt them upwards.
When freezing products in the freezer
drawers, reduce the appliance’s freezing
capacity slightly.
If you wish to keep already-frozen food
in the freezer, turn the “super” function
on several hours before putting the fresh
food in the freezer.
Storing frozen products
• In order not to obstruct the free
circulation of air inside the appliance,
make sure that all the freezer drawers
in the compartment are pushed in to
the limit.
