[. . . ] Only season cooked food lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen. ­ Do not place hot foods or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw, and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot foods and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer. Unsuitable packing material - wrapping paper - grease-proof paper - cellophane - bin bags - plastic carrier bags Suitable packing material - plastic freezer film - freezer bags - aluminium foil - freezer containers ^ Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer-burn on food. ^ Close the packaging tightly with - rubber bands - plastic clips - string or bag ties - freezer tape. Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits. ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging. Before placing food in the freezer ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). Placing food in the freezer Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the upper drawers. The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries and vegetables. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted. Ice cube tray (with or without release button, depending on model) ^ Space the food out loosely on the tray. Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer. ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the tray with water. Any excess will flow out through the outlet. ^ Now pull the release button up to seal the ice cube tray. Place the tray on the bottom of one of the freezer drawers. ^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer. ^ Ice cubes can be removed easily from the tray by twisting the tray gently or by holding it under cold running water for a short while. Cooling drinks When cooling drinks quickly, make sure bottles are not left in the freezer for more than one hour, as they could burst. 21 Freezing and storing food Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food, or in the freezer tray to save space. [. . . ] ^ Refit bracket i and cover j turned through 180° on the opposite side. ^ Screw hinge bracket g into the opposite side. The M4 screw has to be screwed into the left hole of the hinge bracket. ^ Turn cover f through 180°, and fit it on the other side. [. . . ]
