Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.

Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food

Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturer’s data. Make
sure the food items do not defrost after purchase
and to store them as fast as possible in the freez-
er.

It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time. The period might vary, so observe the stor-
age information on the packaging of the mer-
chandise.
General safety precautions

Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode if
they contain carbonated drinks.

Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.

Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.

Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.

Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.
Pack frozen food
Always select packaging suitable for the food and
pack it properly.

Freeze in portions. Suitable for packaging are e.g.
plastic films, polyethylene tubular films, aluminum
foil, freezer cans.

The packaging must be impermeable to air and
moisture.
-
Press the air out of the package.
-
Seal the package tightly with e.g. rubber rings,
plastic clips, twine or cold-resistant adhesive
tapes.

Label the package with contents and freezing
date.
