placed in the appliance,

■ if the freezer compartment door

is open too long.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate. Fig. /

Fully utilising the freezer volume

The maximum amount of food can be placed in the freezer by removing the following fittings.

Removing the fittings

■ The door shelf can be taken out.

Fig. 4

■ If appliances feature an ice maker,

the latter can be taken out. Fig. 5

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold.

Note when loading products

Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.

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 compartment

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

■ Coldest zone

is on the rear panel inside theappliance andon thecold storage compartment. Fig. 1/19

Note

Store perishable food e.g. fish, sausage, meat in the coldest zones.

■ Warmest zone

is at the very top of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

Vegetable container with humidity controller

Fig. 7 The vegetable container is the optimum

storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored twice as long as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:

■ Mainly fruit as well as for a large load

– lower air humidity

■ Mainly vegetables as well as for

a mixed load or small load – higher air humidity

Notes

■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple,

banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.

■ Condensation may form in the

vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

Super cooling

Super cooling sets the refrigerator temperature to the coldest temperature setting for approx. 6 hours. Then the appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super cooling mode.

Switch on super cooling mode, e.g.

■ before placing large quantities of food

in the refrigerator compartment.

■ for the fast cooling of drinks.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2 Press “super” button 10. The button is lit when super cooling

is switched on.

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!

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours 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:

Plastic film, 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, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene 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. 2 Press “super” button 8. If the super freezing has been switched

on the button 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

ã=Caution

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