– Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked
dishes sparingly. 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
Freezer bags may also be sealed using
home heat-sealing kits.
^
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.
^
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
Fresh food can be placed in any
drawer for freezing, however it is
preferable to use the upper drawers.
Large quantities can be placed directly
on the evaporator plates to freeze the
food quickly. To do this first take out
one or several freezer drawers. The
lowest freezer drawer must always
remain in the appliance.
Each drawer and evaporator plate
can be loaded with a maximum of
25 kg.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the evaporator
plates 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.
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.
