B. Freezer
Wrapping food
Pack the food in suitably sized portions for your household.
Vegetable and fruit portions should be no heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can be up
to 2.5 kg.
Smaller portions freeze through more quickly and the quality is thereby maintained better when
defrosting and preparing the food.
It is important to seal food in airtight bags or containers before freezing to prevent it from losing
favor or dehydrating.
Wrap the food, press out any air and seal it airtight.
Suitable wrapping materials:
Plastic bags, cling-film, aluminium foil and freezer containers. These items are available from
any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
Suitable sealing materials:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer tape or similar.
Plastic film and bags may be heat-sealed using a special sealing iron or press.
Before placing a package in the freezer, it should be clearly labelled with the contents and
date of freezing.
STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
When storing food in the appliance,
follow the recommendations below.
• Allow warm food and beverages to cool down
before storing them in the appliance.
• Ensure that food is well-wrapped or covered
before it is stored. This will prevent food from
dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing
flavor and will help maintain freshness. It will
also prevent cross-flavouring.
• Never let any oil or grease come into contact
with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these
materials easily become porous.
• Never store any explosive substances inside
the appliance. High-proof alcohol should only
be stored upright in tightly sealed containers.
