FREEZER COMPARTMENT

Freezing with SuperFrost

WPress the SuperFrost button4briefly so that it lights up. The freezer temperature will decrease and goes to the lowest temperature.

WFor small amounts of frozen food, it is normally sufficient to switch on SuperFrost 6 hours beforehand. For the maximum amount (see freezing capacity on the type plate) you will need to switch it on 24 hours beforehand.

WThen place the fresh food inside the freezer, preferably in the top drawers.

If freezing the maximum quantity of food, do not use the drawers; instead, place the wrapped food directly on the

shelves. Once the food is frozen you can load it into the drawers.

- The SuperFrost function switches off automatically. De- pending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, this will normally be between 30 and max. 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete, and the freezer will switch back to normal energy-saving operation.

Note: You should not switch on the SuperFrost function:

-when placing frozen food in the freezer;

-when freezing up to approx. 4.4 lb (2 kg) fresh food daily.

Notes on freezing and storage

WItems suitable for freezing: meat, game, poultry, fresh fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre- cooked meals.

Not suitable: lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples and pears, fatty meat.

WPack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reusable plas- tic, metal or aluminium containers.

WDo not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid them sticking together.

WAlways write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents any risk of quality impairment.

WPack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities ap- propriate to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through quickly, the following quantities should not be

exceeded per package:

-fruit, vegetables: up to 2.2 lb (1 kg);

-meat: up to 5.5 lb (2.5 kg).

WBlanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly cool down in cold water. If you blanch with a steamer or microwave oven, please observe the relevant operating instructions.)

WDo not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables be- fore freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. Some spices can alter their flavour intensity.

WDo not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer compartment after an hour at the most.

WStorage: Each drawer and shelf can take up to 55 lb (25 kg) frozen food.

WIf you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can re- move the drawers and store items directly on the shelves.

-Always leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.

-If you have removed the top drawer, do not cover the fan slits at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work properly.

WVarioSpace: You can create a double-height space for big items of frozen food by removing the 2nd and 3rd drawers and the intervening shelf. This enables you to freeze such things as poultry, big pieces of meat or large cakes without

first having to cut them up, so they can be served "whole" afterwards.

W Always store identical food items together to
	avoid the door being open for unnecessarily
	long periods and to save energy.	G1
W Do not exceed storage times given.

WThawing: Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as

quickly as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

-in a conventional or fan oven

-in a microwave oven

-in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is used for cooling the other food.

-Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked when partially thawed.

-Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal time).

Information system

Use frozen food within the recommended period.

The numbers between the symbols indicate the storage period in months for different kinds of frozen foods.

Storage times given are guide times for food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable depends on the food quality and how it was processed prior to freezing. The lower values always apply to food with a high fat content.

Freezer tray

This is used for gently freezing berries, herbs, vegetables and other small items and prevents them from sticking together. Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.

WSpread the items out loosely on the tray, figure H.

WSuspend the freezer tray in one of the top drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer to a freezer bag or container and put in a drawer.

WTo defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.
