Max. freezing capacity
You will find information on the maximum freezing
capacity in 24 hours on the rating plate.
Conditions for use of max. freezing
capacity
■ Switch on the fast freezing function before placing
the food in the freezer (see section ”Fast freezing
function”).
■ Remove the freezer compartment fittings.
■ Stack the food directly on the shelves and the
bottom of the freezer compartment.
Note:
Do not cover over the ventilation slots in the rear
panel with the food you are freezing.
■ Preferably, large quantities of food for freezing
should be placed in the top compartment. There it
will freeze quickly and, therefore, without adversely
affecting the food quality.
Freezing food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. Separate food
to be frozen from food that is already frozen. Place food
in airtight containers to prevent it from losing its flavor
or drying out.
How to wrap food correctly
■ Make sure the packaging is not damaged.
■ Check the ”sell by” date.
■ Seal the packaging.
■ Label the package with the contents and date.
Items not suitable for wrapping food:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane,
garbage bags and used shopping bags.
Items suitable for wrapping food:
Plastic film, polyethylene blown film, aluminum foil and
freezer cans.
These products can be purchased from your retailer.
Items suitable for sealing wrapped food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant
adhesive tape or similar items.
Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a
film sealer.
Storage life of frozen food
The storage life depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C):
■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:
up to 6 months
■ Cheese, poultry, meat:
up to 8 months
■ Fruit and vegetables:
up to 12 months
Purchasing and storing deep-
frozen food
Follow these guidelines when purchasing deep-frozen
food:
■ Place food in packaging.
■ Press out any air.
■ The temperature of the supermarket freezer should
be lower than 0 °F (-18 °C). If not, this shortens the
storage life of the frozen food.
■ Pick up deep-frozen food last when shopping. Wrap
in newspaper or place in a cold bag and take home.
■ At home, immediately place deep-frozen food in the
freezer compartment. Use the deep-frozen food
before the ”sell by” date.
Thawing frozen food
Depending on the type of food and its intended use,
frozen food can be thawed as follows:
■ at room temperature
■ in the refrigerator
■ in an electric oven with/without fan-assisted hot air
■ in the microwave.
: CAUTION
Risk of poisoning!
Do not refreeze food that is beginning to thaw or has
already thawed. The food cannot be refrozen until it
has been prepared (boiled or fried). Do not store
these refrozen products for the maximum storage
period.
