Freezing

(only in the operating mode "Freezing")

Attention!

• Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer

compartment must be -18 °C or colder.

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

freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods

that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several

days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the

capacity indicated on the rating plate.

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

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

1. For exploitation of maximum freezing capacity press the FROSTMATIC

button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities.

Yellow display lights up.

The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small

quantities of up to 3 kg.

When larger quantities of food are frozen the temperature warning

may be activated even when the FROSTMATIC function has been

switched on.

2. 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 goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze

to the goods.

3. Place packaged foods in the compartments or drawers. Unfrozen goods

may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the

frozen goods may start to thaw.

The appliance electronics recognise automatically when the

FROSTMATIC function can be ended, and switch it off automatically.

Yellow display goes out. You can also stop the FROSTMATIC function

manually by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again.

• To allow storage of awkward freezing foodstuff, the drawers of the

appliance are individually removable. They can be stacked in the one

lying below.

• The following are suitable for packing foodstuffs to be frozen:

– freezing bags and foils made of polyethylene;

– special tins for frozen food;
