Before placing food in the freezer

^ When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for some time before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").
This also helps to prevent food that is
already in the freezer from starting to
defrost.

Placing food in the freezer

Fresh food can be placed in any
drawer for freezing, however it is
preferable to use the lower drawers.
Large quantities should be placed
directly on the glass cold plates to
freeze the food quickly. To do this first
take out one or more of the freezer
drawers.
Each drawer and glass cold plate
can take a maximum of 25 kg.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the glass cold
plates so that it freezes through to the
core as quickly as possible.
^ Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.
Freezing and storing food

Freezing large items

If you wish to freeze large items such
as a turkey or game, the glass cold
plates between the drawers can be
removed. To do this:
^ Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully lift and slide out the glass
cold plate.
If required, all the drawers and glass
plates can be removed from the
appliance in order to utilise the entire
space.
