To help you get the best out of the freezing process, here are a few hints: Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned foods. Split them into small portions to speed up freezing and to avoid having to thaw more food than you require. It is in fact important to remember that once food has thawed out, it deteriorates fast. Another point to remember is that lean foods keep better and longer than fatty foods. Wrap food in foil or polythene film, ensuring that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with air, the colour flavour and nutritional value of the food remains intact. Never freeze a higher quantity of food than the maximum amount shown on the rating plate of the appliance. During the freezing process, do not add further food for freezing and do not open the freezer door. Food for freezing should not be placed in contact with already frozen food. This will avoid the temperature of already frozen food from rising. Never put fizzy drinks in the freezer as they might well burst.

To stop the fridge, set the thermostat knob to position «O». 22 The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves (grids) can be positioned as desired (Fig. [. . . ]
