Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
•
Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.
•
Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was
frozen.
•
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
•
You can remove all the drawers to make use of the total volume of the freezer compartment.
•
Put the food directly on a shelf and on the base of the freezer.
Freezing small quantities of fresh food/making ice cubes
See the chapter 'Recommended distribution' for the best location for freezing fresh food (1 to 2
kilograms) and making ice cubes.
Freezing large quantities of fresh food
•
Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the food.
•
Distribute the fresh food equally between all the drawers in the freezer compartment.
•
After 24 hours, you can transfer the food to another compartment in the freezer and then freeze
a new batch of food.
Important recommendations for storing frozen food
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the
recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.
•
Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.
•
Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed
several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.
•
Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten
the storage life and harm the quality of the food.
