Freezing Fresh Foods • Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foods. • This compartment is designed for the long-term storage of frozen food. • The storage life of frozen foods varies and the recommended storage time should not be exceeded. • Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen foods manufacturer's instructions for a three star frozen food storage compartment or home freezer. • Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase. If there are instructions on the packet, carefully follow these instructions regarding storage times. • Carefully select food you intend to freeze, it should be of adequate quality and suitable for freezing. • Use correct packaging and wrap it tight. • The packaging should be airtight and shouldn't leak since this could cause substantial vitamin loss and dehydration of foods. • Foils and bags should be soft enough to tightly wrap around the foods. • When preparing foods to be frozen, consider sanitary precautions. • Mark packages with following data: kind and amount of foods and the date of loading. • It is extremely important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible. • If the loading amount is too large, the quality of freezing is reduced which affects the quality of frozen foods.
