Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on

the rating plate. Fig. )

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals

and pastries.

Note when storing food

Note

Optimum cooling capacity is attained when the upper glass shelf remains in position.

■Store fresh, unspoilt food. This will then preserve quality and freshness for longer.

■With ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

■To preserve aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator section.

■Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.

Note

Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator section

The air circulation in the refrigerator section creates different chill zones:

■The coldest zone is between the vegetable container and the glass shelf situated above and in front of the air outlet openings.

Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.

■The warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. The aroma of hard cheese can then continue to develop and butter remains spreadable.

Vegetable container

Fig. !/13

A high air humidity keeps leafy vegetables fresh for longer. Vegetables and fruit should be stored at a slightly lower air humidity.

The air humidity in the vegetable drawer depends on the amount of stored food.

Note

If the air humidity is too high, drips may form and cause decay.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

■To store deep-frozen food.

■To make ice cubes.

■To freeze food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will

become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!

Freezing capacity

Information on the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Fig. )

Freezing and storing food

Purchasing frozen food

■Packaging must not be damaged.

■Use by the “use by” date.

■Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower.

■If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Note when loading products

Freeze large quantities of food in the fast freezer compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.

Note

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

■The following foods are suitable for freezing:

Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.

■The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1.Place food in packaging.

2.Remove air.

3.Seal the wrapping.

4.Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.

These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, coldresistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Storage duration depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18 °C:

■Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:

up to 6 months

■Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months

■Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.

As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

This appliance runs constantly

and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. "

Keep pressing the temperature selection button 1 until the Super display 2 is lit.

Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

■at room temperature

■in the refrigerator

■in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air

■in the microwave

m Caution

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Interior fittings

You can reposition the shelves inside the appliance and the door shelves as required:

■Pull shelf forwards, lower and swing out to the side. Fig. %
