– 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.

^ Freeze food in portions.

- 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.

- wrapping paper

- grease-proof paper

- cellophane

- bin bags

- plastic carrier bags

^ Turn the temperature selector to a

middle or high setting for approx. 24

hours before placing fresh food in the

freezer.

^ Press the switch for the winter

setting. The indicator light will come

on. The temperature in the freezer

section will drop so that the frozen

food already in the freezer will retain

its cold reserve.

^ Place the food flat in the bottom of

the freezer section 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.

^ Fresh food will be frozen through

approx. 24 hours after being placed

in the freezer. Turn the temperature

selector to the required setting and if

the room temperature is above 16 °C,

switch the winter setting off.
