Make a note of the contents and the

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 lower drawers.
Large quantities can be placed directly
on the glass cold plates to freeze the
food quickly. To do this, first take out
one or several freezer drawers.
Each drawer and glass cold plate
can take a maximum of 25 kg.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the glass cold
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.
Freezing large items
To freeze a large item such as a turkey
or joint of meat, the freezer drawers and
the glass cold plates between them can
be removed. To do this:
^
Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully slide out the glass cold
plates.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored for
effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
