Important precautions for freezing of fresh food Freeze only such food which is suitable for freezing and sustain low temperatures. Food should be of adequate quality and fresh. Select adequate packaging for each kind of food and pack it correctly. The packaging should be air tight and well sealed without leaking since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration. Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading.
Defrosting frozen food Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially fruits, vegetables and readymade meals. Making ice Remove the cap from ice tray and fill it to the mark with cold water or some other liquid, suitable for freezing.
• Avoid using defrosting sprays, as they may cause damage to the plastic parts and may be hazardous to health. • Clean the interior of the appliance and wipe it dry (see chapter Cleaning). • Before reloading food into the freezer switch the appliance on.
