Freezing and Storage
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable
plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come
into contact with food already frozen. Always keep
packages dry in order to avoid them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the package
and do not exceed the stated storage time for the
food. This prevents spoiling.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities
right for your household. To ensure the food freezes
right through quickly, the following quantities should
not be exceeded per package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain
carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be
cooled down quickly, but take the bottles out of the
freezer compartment after an hour at the most.
• Only take out as much food as needed for thawing.
Cook food which has been thawed as quickly as
possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
- in a microwave oven
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food because
there is less chance of bacteria growth. Use this
method for high density food such as roasts or poultry.
Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as rapidly
as possible. This is provided by the SuperFrost feature
and ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and
flavor of the food remains intact.
Freezing with SuperFrost - Figure 24
• Touch the SuperFrost icon briefly so the LED
turns on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer.
• The SuperFrost function turns off automatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the
freezer, this will normally be between 30 and a maxi-
mum of 65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete; the
SuperFrost LED
will turn off, and the freezer will
change back to normal energy-saving operation.
IMPORTANT
You should not turn on the SuperFrost function:
• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2 kg)
fresh food daily.
