– 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
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
- cellophane
- bin bags
- plastic carrier bags
^ 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.
^ 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").
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer section. Large
quantities can be placed directly on to
the evaporator plates to freeze the food
quickly. To do this first take out one or
several freezer drawers. The bottom
drawer must not be taken out of the
appliance.
Each drawer and evaporator plate
can be loaded with a maximum of
25 kg.
If you remove the upper freezer
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.
^ 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.
