Fully utilising the freezer
volume
To place the maximum quantity of
frozen food in the freezer compartment:
■ remove all fittings.
■ Store food directly on the shelves
and on the floor of the freezer
compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
■ Check the packaging is not
damaged.
■ Check there is a sell-by date.
■ The temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If
possible, transport frozen food in a
cool bag and place in the freezer
compartment quickly.
Note when loading products
■ Freeze large quantities of food in the
top compartment.
This is where the food will freeze
especially quickly and gently.
■ Distribute food in the compartments
or frozen food containers.
■ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the
frozen food containers.
■ Important for unrestricted air
circulation in the appliance:
push in frozen food container all the
way.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is
more suitable for freezing than food
which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations
appropriate to the food in order to retain
the best possible nutritional value,
flavour and colour:
■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid
solution.
Information on how to do this can be
found in the relevant literature.
