Practical advice on freezing

· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if

necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest
part.

· Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.

· Spread out the products as much as possible to

allow air to circulate between them.

· Do not place food products which are to be

frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put

them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.

· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.

The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
