Practical advice on freezing
D When 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.
-
D Spread out the products as much as possible to allow
air to circulate between them.
D Do 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.
D Once 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.
D Do 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.
Thawing
Suitable storage periods
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.
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 accum ulator
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.
Rem ovable shelves
There are the removable shelves inside the freezer.
Remove the shelf when large food products need to be
frozen.
