Note the following points:
■ The position of the handle indicates
whether or not the freezer
compartment is correctly closed.
■ The freezer compartment door
engages audibly when closing.
■ When the freezer compartment door
is open, the frozen food stored there
will thaw. The freezer compartment
will become covered in thick ice.

Purchasing frozen food
■ Check the packaging is not
damaged.
■ Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If
possible, transport frozen food in a
cool bag and place in the freezer
compartment quickly.
Note when loading products
■ Spread out the food over a wide
area in the freezer compartment.
■ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen food.
If necessary, re-stack frozen food in
the freezer compartment.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is
more suitable for freezing than food
which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations
appropriate to the food in order to retain
the best possible nutritional value,
flavour and colour:
■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid
solution.
Information on how to do this can be
found in the relevant literature.
Suitable for freezing
■ Baked goods
■ Fish and seafood
■ Meat
■ Poultry and game
■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs
■ Eggs without shells
■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter
and quark
■ Ready meals and leftovers, e.g.
soups, stews, cooked meat and fish,
potato dishes, soufflés and desserts
