Therefore regularly monitor that the optimal storage
temperature of -18 °C or colder is maintained, either
using the thermometer or the digital temperature
display depending on which model you have.
If necessary, adjust the temperature
setting, until the thermometer or the
digital temperature display shows -18
°C or colder.
From a food safety point of view, -18
°C is considered a sufficiently cold
storage temperature.
Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing
compartment on the right of the dividing partition (also
see section on "Interior accessories( dividing partition").
This enables you to separate already frozen foods from
fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods
cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh
products. If the freezing compartment is too small you
can freeze part of the products in the large storage
section on the left of the dividing partition.

Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer
must be -18 °C or colder.
Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the
rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the
maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen
within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days,
one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4
of the capacity indicated on the rating plate.
Thawed foods which have not been processed further
(cooked into meals)
circumstances be frozen a second time.
To make use of the maximum freezing capacity press
the FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing,
or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow display
lights up.
The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for
freezing of small quantities of up to 3 kg.
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 contamination of other frozen
goods occurs.
C C a a u u t t i i o o n n ! ! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands.
Hands can freeze to the goods.
Place the packed food products into the freezer.
Ensure they come into contact with the side walls.
Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with
already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods
may start to thaw.
If more products are to be frozen, keep fast freeze
FROSTMATIC function switched on, if not switch it
off about 24 hours after placing the food in the
freezer. For smaller quantities, it can be switched off
sooner. To do this, press the FROSTMATIC button
again. The yellow FROSTMATIC display goes out.
If you do not switch off the fast freeze process with
the FROSTMATIC switch it switches itself off
automatically after 48 hours.

The following are suited for the packaging of frozen
goods:
-
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
-
special cans for frozen goods;
-
extra-thick aluminium foil
The following are suitable for closing bags and foil:
plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Before closing press out the air from the bags and
foil, as air make the frozen products dry out more
easily and wastes space.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more
quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with
liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand
during freezing.
