
Freezer bags, aluminium foil and plastic containers are all suitable types of packaging,
depending on the item you are storing. You can prevent freezer burn by packaging food
in a way that is as airtight as possible.

Do not refreeze food once it has thawed. It will need to be cooked first before it can be
refrozen.
 Blanch vegetables before freezing them. However, do not blanch aubergines, peppers,
courgettes, mushrooms, asparagus or herbs.

The following items are not suitable for freezing: radishes, leaf salads, cucumbers, raw
eggs in their shells, boiled eggs and dairy products such as yoghurt, cream cheese, quark
or mayonnaise.

If possible, do not thaw frozen foods at room temperature or over a heat source. Placing
frozen food in the refrigerator compartment is a gentle way of thawing it. However,
microwave ovens and steamers may provide a quick alternative.
9.3 Notes on saving energy
 If possible, leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays in the positions they were in
upon delivery. These positions are designed to maximise efficiency and distribute the
temperature as evenly as possible.
 Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as short a time
as possible.

Leave warm or hot food/other items to cool down before placing them in the appliance.

Store foods that release moisture in closed containers or covered in the refrigerator
compartment, if possible. Moisture will reduce the cooling output.
 To optimise air circulation, do not place food or other items too close together.
