Max. freezer capacity
Food should be frozen right through as
quickly as possible. Only in this way are
vitamins, nutritional values, appearance
and taste retained. Therefore, you should
not exceed the maximum freezing
capacity of your appliance.
Freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing
capacity within 24 hours can be found
on the rating plate.
The max. freezing capacity is reached
on the freezer shelves of the upper
two compartments.
Freezing fresh food
Freezing food yourself
If you are freezing food yourself, use only
fresh, undamaged food.
The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Meat and sausage products, poultry and
game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes
and pastries, pizza, ready meals,
leftovers, egg yolk and eggĆwhite.
The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Eggs in shells, soured cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and
onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
To retain colour, flavour, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should
be blanched prior to freezing.
Blanching is the brief immersion
of vegetables and fruit in boiling water.
Literature on freezing and blanching
is available in bookshops.
Storing food in the
appliance
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 freezer drawers.
When fresh food is frozen, the
temperature in the freezer compartment
may rise to such an extent that the
temperature display lamp flashes
Fig. 2/5. However, the food which
is already frozen is not at risk of thawing.
After 24 hours at the latest the set
temperature is reached again.
Note
To prevent food from thawing in the event
of a power failure or a fault, place ice
blocks directly on the food in the top
compartment.
Usable capacity
Information on the usable capacity can be
found inside your appliance on the rating
plate.
