Freezing Fresh Food - Bosch GTV Series Instructions For Use And Installation

en
Note when loading products
Preferably freeze large quantities of
■
food in the top compartment, where
food freezes particularly quickly and
therefore also gently.
Place the food over the whole area of
■
the compartments or the frozen food
containers.
Note
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which is
to be frozen. If required, move the frozen
food to the frozen food containers.
To ensure air circulation in the
■
appliance, insert frozen food container
all the way.

Freezing fresh food

Only use fresh, undamaged food for
freezing.
In order to retain the nutritional value,
aroma and colour of the food as much
as possible, blanch vegetables before
they are frozen. Blanching is not required
for aubergines, peppers, courgettes and
asparagus.
You can find literature about freezing and
blanching in bookshops.
Note
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which is
to be frozen. If required, move the frozen
food to the frozen food containers.
