Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

^When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

This also helps to prevent food that is already in the freezer from starting to defrost.

Placing food in the freezer

Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the lower drawers. Large quantities can be placed directly onto the glass cold plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this first take out one or more freezer drawers.

Each drawer and glass cold plate can take a maximum of 25 kg.

^Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the glass cold plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

^Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

Freezing large items

If you wish to freeze large items such as a turkey or game, the glass cold plates between the drawers can be removed. To do this:

^Remove the freezer drawers and carefully lift and slide out the glass cold plate.

If required, all the drawers and glass plates can be removed from the appliance in order to utilise the entire space.

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

in a microwave oven,

in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting,

at room temperature,

in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the food cold),

in a steam oven.

Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.

Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packing, or in a covered bowl.
