Helpful hints and tips

Freezing food

Before freezing, fresh food must be
packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying
out.
Only use fresh food of the best
quality.
Always leave hot food to cool to
room termperature before placing in
the freezer.
Divide food into small portions
before freezing; this ensures that
freezing is more rapid, and that you
only need to defrost the amount
needed for immediate consumption.
Mark the freezer packaging with the
date of freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to
the cold sides of the freezer, making
sure that it is not in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer.
Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept
at least 5 mm below the upper edge.
If freezing is too slow, the quality of the
food being frozen deteriorates. The
amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)
that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated in the chapter "Technical data"
under "Freezing capacity".

Food storage

For fresh frozen food, please refer to
the storage period table underneath.
For purchased frozen food, never
exceed the expiry date.

sure that it has been stored at the

Important! Remember that fully or
partially defrosted food must not be re-
frozen. However, dishes which have
been cooked using defrosted food may
be frozen.
In the case of a power failure or
breakdown
Do not open the lid.
Important! If the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in the
chapter "Technical data" under "Hold-
over time", the defrosted food must be
consumed
immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
