Freezing and storing food
33
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 4.4lb (2kg)
of fresh food, switch on the Super-
Frost function some time before plac-
ing the food in the freezer (see “Su-
perFrost”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the freezer zone
The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded:
– Top freezer drawer = 11lb (5kg)
– Freezer drawer = 55lb (25kg)
– Glass shelf = 77lb (35kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food, as this will cause the
frozen food to begin to thaw.
When placing items in the freezer
zone, ensure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from freezing together or to the walls.
- Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the lower freezer
drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the middle as quickly as
possible.
When placing food on the glass shelf
make sure that you do not block the
ventilation slits in the back wall of the
appliance. They are important for en-
suring trouble-free operation and
normal energy consumption.
- Freezing the maximum amount (see
data plate)
Remove the freezer drawers.
Place the food flat on the glass
shelves so that it freezes through to
the middle as quickly as possible.
Once the food has frozen:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
- Large items
If you wish to freeze large items, such
as turkey or game, you can remove the
glass shelves between the freezer draw-
ers.
Remove the freezer drawers. Remove
the glass shelves by lifting them
slightly and pulling them forward and
out.
