tainers or wapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
¥The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18 ¡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 seve- ral 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 pre- served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos- sible.
¥Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau- se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac- turer.
¥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 tempe- ratures. 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 sto- red in the freezer.
¥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 contamina- tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
