Notes on freezing and storage
• Always store identical food items together.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate
to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,
the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:
fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven,
– in a microwave oven,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator: the cold given o by the frozen food is used for
cooling.

Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as possible.
Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This is provided by
the SuperFrost facility.
The maximum amount of food (in
kg) which can be frozen in 24 hours
is shown on the type plate ("Freez-
ing capacity"). This amount varies
according to the model and climate
rating.
