Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer section

^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 section

Food to be frozen can be placed anywhere in the freezer.

Large quantities should be placed directly on the glass cold plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this take out the freezer drawers, leaving the bottom drawer in the appliance. The lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the appliance.

When removing the top drawers, make sure that you do not block the ventilation slits in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance.

Each drawer and each of the glass cold plates can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

^Place the food flat in the bottom of the freezer 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 slide out the glass cold plates.

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time in months which various foods can be stored for effectively.

Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.

2-3 months:

Cakes, ice cream, stew

3-5 months:

Fish, mushrooms, bread

6-8 months: Pork, veal, poultry

10-12 months:

Beef, fruit, vegetables
