Freezing and storing frozen food

The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.

Important!

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

colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen (for the

recommended settings, see the table in the section "Starting up -

Setting the temperature").

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

cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen

goods.

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

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

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

freeze to the food.

1. 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.

2. Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfro-

zen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen

food could begin to defrost.

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 wrap:

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.
