Freezing, storing food, making ice cubes
The following products are NOT suitable
for wrapping/packing food:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, refuse bags and used shopping
bags.
Wrap up the food. Press out all the air and
seal the wrapping.
The following products are suitable for
sealing the wrapped food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-
resistant adhesive tape or similar. Bags and
polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a
film sealer.
Before placing the food in the freezer
compartment, label and date the wrapped
food.
Freezing capacity
Food should be frozen right through to the
centre as quickly as possible. This is the
only way to preserve the vitamins, nutritional
value, appearance and flavour. Do not,
therefore, exceed the max. freezing capacity
of your appliance.
If freezing food in the frezeer drawers, the
max. freezing capacity is reduced slightly.
Use the lowest tray only to store frozen
food.
(The freezing capacity is 4-8 kg depending
on the appliance model.
The exact freezing capacity of your
appliance is indicated on the rating plate,
Fig. ©).
storing frozen food
• To ensuri good air circulation in the
appliance, push in the freezer drawers all
the way.
• If large quantities of food are be stored in
the freezer, all the freezer drawers
(except the bottom one) can be taken out
of the appliance and the food taken out
of the appliance and the food stored
directy on the freezer shelves. To remove
a freezer drawer, pull out all the way, lift
at the front and remove.
Fast freezing
The illuminated button indicates that fast
freezing is on. Fast freezing is used for
freezing large quantities of fresh food
and, depending on the quantity, should
be switched on up to 24 hours before
the fresh food is placed in the freezer
compartment. As a rule, 2-3 hours are
sufficient; if the max. freezing capacity is
used, 24 hours are required. During fast
freezing the freezer compartment is
cooled as cold as possible. A very low
temperature is reached. Fast freezing
automatically switches off approx. 50
hours after it was switched on.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 1 kg) can
be frozen without fast freezing.
Note
During fast freezing the refrigerator
compartment also becomes colder.
Making ice
Warning
Do NOT use an electric ice-cream maker in
the freezer compartment.
Making ice cubes
Ice-cube trays are avaible from specialist
outlets.
Fill ice-cube tray 3/4 full of water and place
in the freezer compartment. To loosen the
ice cu bes, hold ice-cube tray under running
water or twist it slightly.
storage duration
To prevent the quality of the frozen food
from deteriorating, it is important that the
storage duration is NOT exceeded.
The storage duration depends on the type of
food.
