Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or col-

der before freezing food.

• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The

freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be

frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several

days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4

of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved

when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will

cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufactu-

rer.

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into

meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera-

tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers

with flammable materials such as spray cans, fire extinguisher refill

cartridges etc in the freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst

when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even

explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc.

in the freezer.

Press the FROSTMATIC button for freezing of fresh food. The amber

light illuminates.

To utilise the maximum rated freezing capacity, switch on the fast

freeze switch 24 hours before freezing is due to start (the amber light

illuminates). For smaller amounts the fast freeze switch should be

switched on 4 - 6 hours in advance.

All foods must be packed air tight 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 and cause skin abrasions.

☞

The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the

uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food.

You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
