BOMANN KG 322 Instruction Manual page 22

 Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
 If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
 Polyethylene plastic
bags or foil
 Plastic bowl with lid
Recommendations
 Store fresh packed items on the glass shelves,
fresh fruits and vegetables in the vegetable box.
 Place bottles in the door storage racks.
 With air circulation different climate zones arises.
The coldest zone is located at the rear and the
-
lower fridge part. Recommended for the stor-
age of foods such as fish, sausages and meat.
The warmest zone is located at the door and
-
the upper fridge part. Suitable for the storage
of e.g. cheese and butter.
 Let warm food cool down first.
Freezer
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food. The tem-
perature of the freezer is automatically controlled by
the temperature control in the fridge.
NOTE:
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does
not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit should be
defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer deteriorates
the cooling and increases the power consumption.
 Special plastic covers
with elastic strip
 Aluminum foil
Freezing
 24 hours before freezing we recommend turning
the temperature control to the highest power level
and to keep this setting even after freezing for a
few hours. The appliance is not compromised if
the setting will not revert to a normal operating
temperature after the freezing process, but for
economic reasons you should possibly avoid it.
 Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
 Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
 Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food
 Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a
4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer's data. Make sure the food
items do not defrost after purchase and to store
them as fast as possible in the freezer.
 It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time, up to three months. This period might vary,
so observe the storage information on the pack-
aging of the merchandise.
General safety precautions
 Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity.
See data under "EU Product Data Sheet" or on
the rating label.
 Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode, if
they contain carbonated drinks.
 Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.
