Practical advice on freezing

DWhen freezing products, use the top shelves.

-When freezing large amounts of food/provisions, the accumulator moves to on top of the food.

-Do not cover the air hole on the rear wall.

DSpread out the products as much as possible to allow

air to circulate between them.

DDo not place food products which are to be frozen directly against other frozen food.

The temperature of the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

DOnce frozen, re-arrange the products and put them as close as possible to each other.

The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure.

DDo not freeze too much food at the same time. The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section.

Check that the freezer is operating and keeps the set temperature one day after switching it on for the first time. Only after then should the freezer be used to freeze fresh foodstuff.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum storage period indicated on the packaging. Fresh food frozen at home:

Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Freezer interior

Freezer drawers

Freezer drawers ensure finding foods will be quick and easy. For optimum storage all fittings except the facia flaps and the lowest drawer can be removed. All drawers can be filled with foods up to the indicated loading levels.

Cold accumulator

Always keep the cold accumulator inside the freezer, it will keep the food cold for longer after a power failure and ensures the Freezer runs more efficiently. The cold accumulator will be most effective when placed on the top shelf. When freezing large quantities of foods move the accumulator to the top of the food to be frozen.

Ice cubes

Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice tray.

If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.

Removable shelves

There are the removable shelves inside the freezer. Remove the shelf when large food products need to be frozen.

Thawing

It is best to thaw foods in refrigerator. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, place it in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
