Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.
Suitable packaging:
Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.
These products are available from specialist outlets.
Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.
Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.
7.1 In Use
1. Food should be wrapped in aluminium foil, or some other type of airtight
packing.
2. Do not allow frozen food in freezer to touch foods just placed into freezer. It can
damage the food.
3. Frozen foods from the store should be placed in the freezer promptly, so they do
not thaw.

burn

Defrosting
1. When the freezer operates for a long period of time, the surface of the
evaporator and the drawers may become covered with a layer of white frost.
2. This frost will reduce the energy efficiency of the unit, and make the freezer less
effective. When this frost forms, it should be promptly removed.
