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

colder 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

manufacturer.

• 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

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

containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray

cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored

in the freezer.

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.

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

freeze to the food.

The appliance's electronics switch off the Frostmatic function automa-

tically after 48hours. The yellow light goes out. You can also end the

Frostmatic function manually by pressing the FROSTMATIC button

again.
