Freezing - AEG SANTO Series Operating Instructions Manual

Freezing

Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes,
all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suitable
for freezing fresh food.
Warning!
• Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer
compartment 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.
• When freezing large amounts of frozen food, place the frozen freezer
block at the front of the middle drawer in the freezer section on the
already frozen food.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

1. Place the packaged frozen foodstuffs in the bottom drawer. Pack
together as tightly as possible, to prevent loss of coldnessand place the
freezer block on top.
Take care: Do not touch frozen foods with wet hands. Your hands
could freeze onto them.
2. Before freezing, wrap up all foodstuffs to be frozen in airtight
packaging, so that they do not dry out, do not lose their taste and there
can be no transfer of taste to other frozen foods. Place the food to be
frozen in the top drawer(s). Non-frozen goods must not touch already
frozen goods, as otherwise the frozen goods can defrost.

When using the max. freezer capacity, set the operating mode
FROSTMATIC for 24 hours before freezing – with smaller amounts 4 to
6 hours are sufficient.
The FROSTMATIC mode need not to be set for freezing of small
quantities of up to 3 kg.

The appliance electronics automatically switch the FROSTMATIC oper-
ating mode off after a period of approx. 52 hours at the latest. You can
also stop the FROSTMATIC operating mode manually, by switching to
normal operation.
