TIPS FOR FREEZING
The following are useful tips to make the most of the freezing process:

Refer to the rating plate for the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. do not add other food to be frozen during this period
Only freeze high quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs:
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap food in aluminum foil or polythene and ensure that the packages are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to contact with already frozen food to prevent a rise in temperature of the latter.
Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones. Salt can reduce the storage life of food.
WARNING: Consuming ice water immediately upon removal from the freezer compartment can possibly freeze-burn the skin.
it is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
