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 preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently. Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or in the frozen food container. Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen. If required, move the frozen food to the frozen food container.

To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert the frozen food container all the way.

Do not cover the ventilation slots on the rear panel with frozen food!

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.

en 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.

Super freezing

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

To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing several hours beforehand.

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.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

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

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

Shelf life of frozen food

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

Switching on and off

Fig. " Press “super” button 5.

When super freezing is switched on, “SU” is indicated on the temperature display 1 and the super freezing display 3 is lit.
