Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
freezing. Only season cooked food
lightly before freezing but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.
–
Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw and increases
the energy consumption
considerably. Allow hot foods 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
^
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.
Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat-sealing kits.
^
Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
Before placing food in the freezer
section
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 section
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer section.
Each drawer and separator plate
can be loaded with a maximum of
25 kg.
When freezing large items e.g. a turkey
or a large joint of meat, the separator
plate in between two of the freezer
drawers can be removed to give more
room. This way food can be stored in
the space of two drawers.
The bottom freezer drawer must not
be taken out of the appliance.
If you remove the top drawer make
sure that you do not block the
ventilation slits in the back wall of
the appliance.
They are important for trouble-free
operation of the appliance.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the separator
plates so that it freezes through to the
core as quickly as possible.
