Freezing and storing
frozen food
Buying frozen food
The packaging must not be damaged.
Note the sell by date.
The temperature in the supermarket
freezer should be -18 ºC or lower.
Transport the frozen food in an insulating
bag, where possible and put it quickly into
the freezer compartment.
Storing frozen food
S To ensure good air circulation in the
appliance, insert the freezer drawers
all the way.
S If large quantities of food are to be
stored in the freezer, all the freezer
drawers (except the bottom one) can be
taken out of the appliance and the food
stacked directly on the freezer shelves.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull out all
the way, lift at the front and remove.

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 egg white.
The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Eggs in shells, soured cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and
onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit

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.
