Freezing and storing frozen food

food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.

The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small
quantities.
2. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.
3. Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfro-
zen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen
food could begin to defrost.
4. Carefully close the freezer compartment door.

ton again.

Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
