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 food with wet hands. Your hands could

stick to the food and cause skin abrasions.

3. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the

appliance´s two top drawers

items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

Freezer drawers (4) and (5) should only be used for storage of frozen

food.

Place frozen food in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

4. Once the food has frozen, press the fast freeze button again. The yel-

low light goes out.

Tips:

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

– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;

– special containers 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 containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or

paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar

• The symbols on the drawers show

different types of frozen goods.

• The numbers indicate storage times

in months for the appropriate types

of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated

storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-

treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high

fat content.
