Ensure that the freezer compartment
door is always closed! If the door is open,
the frozen food will thaw. The freezer
compartment will become covered in
a thick layer of ice. Also: energy will be
wasted due to high power consumption!
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
To ensure good air circulation in the
appliance, insert the freezer drawers all
the way.
Preferably freeze large quantities of food
in the top compartments, where food
freezes particularly quickly and therefore
also gently.
Do not cover the ventilation slots on the
rear panel with frozen 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 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
To retain colour, flavour, aroma and

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.
