Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
special cans for frozen goods;
extra-thick aluminium foil
The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps:
plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encoura-
ges drying of frozen goods.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up
time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
Frozen Storage
Attention! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with
previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C
must be reached.
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.
2In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in
compartments and drawers. Some models are provided with index-tabs
which can be attached to compartment doors and drawers. In order to
identify the contents of individual compartments, attach the index-
tabs so that they cover the storage goods symbols (see section:
"Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar"). Thus you have a better
overview, avoid opening the door for long periods and therefore save
energy.
