Freezing and storing food
37
Before placing food in the appliance
When freezing more than 2kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function for some time before placing
the food in the freezer (see “Using
SuperFreeze and DynaCool –
SuperFreeze function”).
This helps create a cold reserve in
frozen goods which are already stored
in the freezer.
Placing food in the freezer
If the frozen goods are too
heavy, this can cause damage.
Loading frozen goods which are too
heavy can cause damage to the
freezer drawers.
Do not exceed the maximum load of
20kg in each freezer drawer.
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
If the ventilation slots are blocked the
cooling performance will decrease
and energy consumption will
increase.
When placing frozen goods in the
freezer, make sure that the ventilation
slots are not blocked.
Place the frozen goods flat in the
bottom of the top freezer drawers.
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of
-18°C. Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. For example, fat
can become rancid from contact with
oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide
values for the storage life of different
food groups in the freezer zone.
Food group Storage
time
(Months)
Ice cream 2to6
Bread, baked goods 2to6
Cheese 2to4
Fish, oily 1to2
Fish, lean 1to5
Sausage, ham 1to3
Game, pork 1to12
Poultry, beef 2to10
Vegetables, fruit 6to18
Herbs 6to10
For standard freezing results, follow the
advice on packaging.
By keeping the freezer zone at a
constant temperature of -18°C and
taking appropriate hygiene measures
you can maximise the storage life of
your food and avoid food waste.
