• It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time. The period might vary, so observe the stor-
age information on the packaging of the merchan-
dise.
General safety precautions
• Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode if
they contain carbonated drinks.
• Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.
• Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.
• Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.
• Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.
Packing frozen food
Always select packaging suitable for the food and
pack it properly.
• Freeze in portions. Suitable for packaging are e.g.
plastic films, polyethylene tubular films, aluminum
foil, freezer cans.
• The packaging must be impermeable to air and
moisture.
Press the air out of the package.
-
Seal the package tightly with e.g. rubber rings,
-
plastic clips, twine or cold-resistant adhesive
tapes.
• Label the package with contents and freezing
date.
