Freezing and storing frozen food

tor to setting “4” several hours before freezing fresh items, or press the

SUPERFROST button if the model has one. The yellow indicator will

light up.

2. All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to

freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that

no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.

Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could

stick to the food causing skin abrasions.

3. Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment.

Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the

frozen food could begin to defrost.

4. Close the freezer compartment door tightly.

5. Depending on the quantity and type of food to be frozen, return the

temperature regulator to its normal setting after approx. 6 to 24 hours

or switch off the SUPERFROST function. To do that, press the SUPER-

FROST button again. The yellow indicator will go off.

Tips:

• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:

– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;

– special cans for frozen goods;

– extra–thick aluminium foil.

• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings:

plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.

• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for

the frozen food to dry out.

• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.

• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like

goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

Note for inspection authorities:

Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-

up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
