Freezing and storing frozen food

The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.

Important!

¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18¡C or cold-er before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen.
¥ Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as possible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice...

45
¥ The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings: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 pasteÐlike goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

Note for inspection authorities:

Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-
up time can be requested...
