– 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 food or drinks in the
freezer. This causes already frozen
food to thaw and increases the
energy consumption considerably.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
freezer.
Packing
^
Freeze food in portions.
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
^
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
section
^
When freezing more than 1 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for some time before
placing the food in the freezer
section (see "Super freeze").
Placing food in the freezer section
Food that is already frozen can be
stored anywhere in the freezer section.
However, food to be frozen should only
be placed in the top two drawers.
When freezing large quantities you can
also remove the top and/or middle
drawer and place the food directly onto
the freezer shelf racks to freeze it
quickly.
The bottom drawer must not be taken
out of the appliance.
When replacing the drawers always
make sure that they are pushed
back into the appliance as far as
they will go. This is important for
efficient air circulation in the
appliance.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawer so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
^
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
