– Placing hot food or drink in the
freezer causes food that is already
frozen to partially thaw and increases
energy consumption. Allow hot food
and drink to cool down before plac-
ing it in the freezer.
Packaging food for freezing
Freeze food in portions.
– Suitable packaging
– Plastic films
– Freezer bags
– Aluminum foil
– Freezer containers
– Unsuitable packaging
– Packing paper
– Parchment paper
– Cellophane
– Garbage bags
– Plastic shopping bags
Remove as much air as possible from
the packaging before sealing.
Close the packaging tightly with
– rubber bands,
– bag clips,
– string or bag ties, or
– freezer tape.
Tip: Freezer bags and poly tubing may
also be sealed using home heat sealing
kits.
Label the packaging with the con-
tents and the date of freezing.
Freezing and storing food
Before placing food in the
freezer
When freezing more than 4.4 lb (2 kg)
of fresh food, switch on the Super-
Frost function some time before plac-
ing the food in the freezer (see "Su-
perFrost").
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the Freezer
Zone
Food to be frozen can be placed any-
where in the Freezer Zone.
Place large quantities of food in the
large freezer basket.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the basket so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
When placing items in the Freezer
Zone, ensure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from freezing together or to the walls.
Please follow the guidelines in the ta-
ble below regarding recommended
weights for the baskets:
KF 28x1 Vi/
SF
KF 29x1 Vi/
SF
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food, as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
