AEG ÖKO-ARCTIS 1050-4 GS Operating Instructions Manual page 14

Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the
appliance´s top drawer (1) equipped with its own refrigerating unit.
Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (2), (3) and (4)
should only be used for storage of frozen food. The lowest drawer has
a solid base and can be used for catching some of the melt-water
when the freezer is being defrosted.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Index tabs are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents
of the individual drawers, press the index tab over the corresponding
symbol (see "Frozen Food Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This will
give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door
opening and therefore save electricity.
Once the required storage temperate has been reached, press the fast
freeze switch again. The yellow light goes out.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips,
rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or
paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
