5.4. Deep Freezer
Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of
food for each 100 liter of freezer
compartment volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
5.5. 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 some spices in cooked meals
may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.
