The warning light will go out when the temperature which has been set is reached. 15 Super freeze Freezing fresh food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired. Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells which then shrink. During the defrosting process only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells. In practice this means that the food loses a large degree of its moisture. If food is frozen quickly the cells have less time to lose moisture so they shrink less. As there is not so much moisture it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process. There will be very little water around the defrosted food. Switching on super freeze Switch the super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. When freezing small quantities of food in the freezer, the super freeze function should be switched on 4 ­ 6 hours beforehand. When freezing the maximum load of food the super freeze function should be switched on 24 hours beforehand. ^ Press the super freeze button. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. 18 Freezing and storing food ­ Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. 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. Suitable packing material ­ plastic freezer film ­ freezer bags ­ freezer containers ­ aluminium foil Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat sealing kits. ^ 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 ­ cold resistant adhesive tape. ^ Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.
