Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18 ¡C or col-
der before freezing food.
¥ Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥ Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
¥ Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.
¥ All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
