Electrolux 2150-6GS manual Frozen Storage, Tips

0All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.

0Place the packed food in the drawers. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

Tips:

•The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:

–freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;

–plastic containers for frozen goods;

–extra–thick aluminium foil.

•The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.

•Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out.

•Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.

•Do not fill plastic containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

0Once the required storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again. The yellow light goes out.

Frozen Storage

Important! Wait until the necessary storage temperature of –18 °C has been reached before storing food already frozen.

•Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur.

•Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.

2 Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. Index tabs are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents of the individual drawers, press the index tab over the corresponding sym- bol (see "Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar" section). This will give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door ope- ning and therefore save electricity.
