Freezing and storing food

Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.

Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packing

Unsuitable packing material

-wrapping paper

-grease-proof paper

-cellophane

-bin bags

-plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

-plastic freezer film

-freezer bags

-aluminium foil

-freezer containers.

^Freeze food in portions.

^Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them to prevent freezer burn on food.

^Close the packaging tightly with

-rubber bands

-plastic clips

-string or bag ties

-freezer tape

Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits.

^Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer

^When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

Placing food in the freezer

Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer. Large quantities can be placed directly on the separator shelf to freeze the food quickly. To do this first take out the upper or middle freezer drawer. The lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the appliance.

Each drawer and separator shelf can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

If you remove the upper freezer drawer make sure that you do not cover the ventilation holes in the rear wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance.

^Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.
