Freezing food / storing frozen food
Preparing food
• Only freeze food of acceptable
quality.
• Freeze fresh and prepared meals
unsalted and unseasoned. Food
frozen when unsalted has a longer
shelf life.
• Allow prepared food to cool before you
freeze it. This not only saves energy, but
also prevents excessive frost formation
in the freezer compartment.
• Carbonated beverages are not suitable
for freezing as the carbon dioxide
escapes when frozen.
The right packaging
Packaging is important when deep-freezing.
It should protect
microbes, the transmission of odours and
flavours and desiccation (freezer burn).
• Only use packaging material that is
durable, impermeable to air and
liquids, not too rigid and that can be
labelled. It should be identified as
freezer packaging.
Portioning
• Wherever possible, create flat portions,
as they freeze through to the core more
quickly.
• Stroke out the air from the freezer bag,
as it encourages desiccation and
takes away space.
• To close the bags, use plastic clips,
rubber bands or adhesive tape.
• Fill liquid containers ¾ maximum, as
liquids expand when frozen.
• Do not store glass or metal containers
containing liquid. The containers may
burst.
• Only freeze high-percentage alcohol
when tightly closed.
• Label frozen goods according to the
type, amount, freezing date and use-by
date. Wherever possible, use smudge-
proof felt-tip pens or adhesive labels.
against oxidation,
Freezing food
• Comply with the maximum freezing
capacity. You can find the "Freezing
capacity in kg/24h" in the data sheet
on page 55.
• As soon as the temperature in the freezer
compartment reaches
-18 °C, you can freeze fresh food at room
temperature.
• The fresh goods must not come into
contact with the frozen goods already in
storage, as they may otherwise thaw. If it
is impossible to prevent contact with the
stored frozen goods, we
recommend generating additional
freezing capacity in the freezer
compartment prior to freezing the fresh
goods.
After storing the fresh
temperature will temporarily rise in the
freezer compartment. After a further 24
hours, the goods will be frozen to the core.

Storing frozen food

The deep-freeze chain must not be
interrupted on the
manufacturer to your
temperature of the frozen goods must never
exceed -18°C.
For this reason, never purchase goods
– located in frosted, very icy freezers.
– stacked above the prescribed mark.
– that are partially clumped together (which
is especially easy to tell with berries and
vegetables).
– that exhibit traces of snow and juice.
Transport frozen goods in special boxes
made of polystyrene or in insulation bags.
Observe the storage conditions and times
specified on the packaging.
