Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour
or drying out, place in airtight containers.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents
and date of freezing.
Suitable packaging:
Plastic film, tubular film made of
polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer
containers.
These products are available from
specialist outlets.
Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, bin liners and used
shopping bags.
Items suitable for sealing packaged
food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string,
cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.
Bags and tubular film made of
polyethylene can be sealed with a film
heat sealer.
Shelf life of frozen food
Storage duration depends on the type
of food.
At a temperature of -18 °C:
■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes
and pastries:
up to 6 months
■ Cheese, poultry and meat:
up to 8 months
■ Vegetables and fruit:
up to 12 months
Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and
the freezer compartment drops to a very
low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
You can place smaller quantities of
food (up to 2 kg) in the top compartment
without super freezing.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
