Freezing And Storing Frozen Food - AEG ARCTIS 1333-6 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Ice pack
There is an ice pack in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will
lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too
warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficien-
tly if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the fro-
zen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18 ¡C or col-
der before freezing food.
¥ Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food seve-
ral days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to
3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best pre-
served when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as pos-
sible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥ Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
¥ Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
¥ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
when the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even
explode! Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine
etc. in the freezer.
¥ All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
