Freezing and Storage
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or
reusable plastic, metal or aluminum containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen
to come into contact with food already frozen.
Always keep packages dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack-
age and do not exceed the stated storage time
for the food. This prevents spoiling.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in
quantities right for your household. To ensure the
food freezes right through quickly, the following
quantities should not be exceeded per package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 2-1/4 lbs (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5-1/2 lbs (2.5 kg).
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain
carbonated drinks as they might burst. Drinks
can be cooled down quickly, but take the bottles
out of the freezer compartment after an hour at
the most.
• Only take out as much food as needed for thaw-
ing. Cook food which has been thawed as quick-
ly as possible. Frozen food can be thawed in the
following ways:
- in a microwave oven
- in the refrigerator: the safer way to thaw food
because there is less chance of bacteria
growth. Use this method for high density food
such as roasts or poultry.
Freezing with Superfrost
- Figure 19
• Touch the Superfrost icon briefly
so the LED turns ON.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the
appliance will change to the lowest temperature.
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally
sufficient to turn ON Superfrost six hours before-
hand. For the maximum amount (see freezing
capacity on the model plate) you will need to
turn it ON 24 hours before.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer.
• The Superfrost function turns OFF automatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the
freezer, this will normally be between 30 and
maximum of 65 hours.
The freezing process is now complete; the
Superfrost LED will turn OFF, and the freez-
er will change back to normal energy-saving
operation.
IMPORTANT
You should not turn ON the Superfrost function:
• when placing frozen food in the freezer;
• when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs (2
kg) fresh food daily.
