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.

light illuminates. If the quick-freezing function is not ended manually,

the appliance switch off the quick-freezing function after 52 hours.

The yellow light goes out.

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

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

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

switched on 4 - 6 hours in advance.

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 switch again. The yel-

low light goes out.
