7.2 Freezing Fresh Foods

It is recommended to place the food in the refrigerator by wrapping it or covering it.

Hot food should be cooled to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.

The food items you want to freeze must be of good quality and fresh.

Food items should be divided into portions according to the family's daily or meal portion requirements.

Even if the food items will be stored for a short time, they should be packed in an air-tight manner to prevent them from drying out.

The materials used in packaging the food should be resistant to cold, moisture, tearing, odour, oil and acid and should be air-tight.

In addition, it should properly cover it, and be of useful and deep material.

Frozen food items must be used immediately after defrosting and must not be frozen again.

To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions:

  1. Do not freeze large amounts of food at the same time. The best possible way to preserve the quality of food is to freeze them deeply as quickly as possible.

  2. When hot food is placed in the freezer compartment, the cooling system works continuously for a while to cool these foods until they are completely hardened.

  3. Take special care not to mix frozen food with fresh food.

7.3 Freezing Fresh Foods

  • Foods to be frozen must be divided into portions according to a size to be consumed, and frozen in separate packages. In this way, all the food should be prevented from being re-frozen by thawing.
  • In order to protect the nutritional value, the aroma and the colour of the foods as much as possible, vegetables should be boiled for a short period of time before freezing. (Boiling is not necessary for foods such as cucumber, parsley.) Cook-

ing time of the vegetables frozen in this way is shortened by 1/3 than that of the fresh vegetables.

  • To extend the storage times of frozen foods, boiled vegetables must first be filtered and then hermetically packaged as in the all types of foods.
  • Foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without package.
  • The packaging material of the food to be stored should be air-tight, thick and durable and should not deform with cold and humidity. Otherwise, the food that is hardened by freezing might pierce the package. Sealing the package well is also important in terms of securely storing the food.

The Following Packaging Types Are Suitable to Freeze Food:

Polyethylene bag, aluminium foil, plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-resistant storage containers with caps.

Packaging paper, parchment paper, cellophane (gelatin paper), garbage bag, used bags and shopping bags.

  • Hot foods should not be placed in the freezer compartment without cooling.
  • When placing unfrozen fresh foods in the freezer compartment, please note that it does not contact with frozen foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can be placed to the rack immediately below the quick freezing rack for preventing them from being getting warm.
  • During the freezing time (24 hours) do not place other food to the freezer.
  • Place your foods to the freezing shelves or racks by spreading them so that they will not be cramped (it is recommended that the packaging does not come into contact with each other).
  • Frozen foods must be immediately consumed in a short period of time after defrosting and must never be frozen again.

  • Do not block the ventilation holes by putting your frozen foods in front of the ventilation holes located on the back surface.

  • We recommend you to attach a label onto the package and write the name of the foods in the package and the freezing time.

Foods Suitable for Freezing:

Fish and seafood, red and white meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbaceous spices, dairy products (such as cheese, butter and strained yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked meals, potato dishes, souffle and desserts.

Foods Not Suitable for Freezing:

Yoghurt, sour milk, cream, mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish, grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears and peaches).

- For foods to be frozen quickly and thoroughly, the following specified amounts per package should not be exceeded.

- Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg

- Meat, 1-1.5 kg

- A small amount of foods (maximum 2 kg) can also be frozen without the use of the quick freezing function.

To obtain the best result, apply the following instructions:

  1. Activate the quick freezing function 24 hours before placing your fresh foods.

  2. 24 hours after you have pressed the button, first place your food that you want to freeze to the top shelf with higher freezing capacity. Place your remaining food, if any, to the rightmost part of the second shelf.

  3. The quick freezing function will be automatically deactivated after 52 hours.

  4. Do not try to freeze a large quantity of food at a time. Within 24 hours, this product can freeze the maximum food quantity specified as «Freezing Capacity ... kg/24 hours» on its type label. It is not convenient to put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the freezer compartment than the quantity specified on the label.

Advice on Storing Frozen Foods

  • While purchasing your frozen foods, make sure that they are frozen at appropriate temperatures and their packages are not broken.
  • Put the packages in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchasing them.
  • Make sure that the expiration date indicated on the packaging is not expired before consuming the packaged ready meals that you remove from the freezer compartment.

Defrosting

The ice in the freezer compartments is automatically thawed.

Freezer Details

The EN 62552 standard requires (according to specific measurement conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for each 100 litres of freezer compartment volume can be frozen at 25 °C ambient temperature in 24 hours.

Defrosting the Frozen Foods

Depending on the food diversity and the purpose of use, a selection can be made between the following options for defrosting:

  • At room temperature (it is not very suitable to defrost the food by leaving it at room temperature for a long time in terms of maintaining the food quality)
    • In the refrigerator
  • In the electrical oven (in models with or without fan)
    • In the microwave oven

CAUTION!

  • Never put acidic beverages in glass bottles and cans into your freezer due to the risk of explosion.
  • If there is moisture and abnormal swelling in the packaging of frozen foods, it is likely that they were previously stored in

an improper storage condition and their contents deteriorated. Do not consume these foods without checking.

- Since the taste of some spices in cooked meals may change when exposed to long-term storage conditions, you must

add lesser amount of spices to your foods to be frozen or the desired spices should be added to the foods after the thawing process.
