Freezing foods, storing frozen foods Page EN-19
• Set the temperature in the freezer to
–18°C and fill the fridge in such a way that
the temperature conditions inside are op-
timally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food
storage.
• Place food to be frozen in the drawers
(10), (11) and (12) in the freezer.
• Combine the drawers as shown in the di-
agram on page EN-10 to achieve the most
efficient use of energy for your appliance.
Preparing food
• Only freeze high quality food.
• Freeze fresh and prepared food dry and
unseasoned. Unsalted foods are more
durable.
• Allow prepared food to cool before freez-
ing. This not only saves power, but also
prevents excessive frost formation in the
freezer.
• Carbonated drinks are not suitable for
freezing because the carbon dioxide es-
capes during freezing.
Suitable packaging
Packaging is important when freezing. This
will protect against oxidation, penetration by
microbes, transfer of odours and flavourings
and drying out (freezer burn).
• Only use packaging material that is strong,
impermeable to air and liquid, not too stiff
and capable of being labelled. It should
be designated as suitable for freezer use.
• Use plastic clips, rubber bands or adhe-
sive tapes to seal.
Portions
• Use flat portions as much as possible;
these freeze through to the core faster.
• Expel the air from the freezer bag as this
causes the contents to dry out and takes
up space.
• Fill liquid containers no more ¾ full, be-
cause liquids expand when frozen.
• Do not store glass or metal containers
containing liquids such as water, lemon-
ade, beer, etc. Water expands when fro-
zen and may burst the container.
Only high percentage alcohol (at least
40% by volume) should be frozen; make
sure that it is tightly sealed.
• Label the frozen food by type, quantity,
amount and expiry date. Use waterproof
marker pens or adhesive labels wherever
possible.
Freezing smaller quantities
Once the freezer temperature is –18 °C, you
can freeze fresh, room-temperature foods.
Freezing capacity
You can find information concerning the
freezing capacity of your appliance on the
type plate of your appliance.
• Adhere to the maximum freezing capacity
wherever possible.
Up to the maximum specified
freezing capacity
If you adhere to the maximum freezing ca-
pacity, the goods will freeze the quickest. The
temperature in the freezer briefly rises after
placing fresh goods inside. After 12 hours, the
goods are frozen to the core.
