Storing frozen food

Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food.

For storing home-frozen fresh food refer to the storage-life guide on the door-liner.

If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than 14 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen

Frozen food symbols and freezer calendar

Food symbols are illustrated on the freezer door- liner.

The figures next to food symbols represent the safe storage-life, in months.

Observe the best before dates indicated on the package for ready frozen food.

Freezing fresh food

Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results.

Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h.

Placing warm food into the freezer compartment causes the refrigeration machine to operate continously until the food is frozen solid. This can temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat knob at medium position. Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting the temperature control knob.

Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks.
