Freezing and storing food
^ Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.
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
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer.
Large quantities should be placed
directly on the glass cold plates to
freeze the food quickly. To do this first
take out the top two freezer drawers.
When removing the top drawer, make
sure that you do not block the
ventilation slits in the back wall of the
appliance. They are important for
trouble-free operation of the appliance.
The lowest freezer drawer must always
remain in the appliance.
Each drawer and each of the glass
cold plates can be loaded with a
maximum of 25 kg.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer 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 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 top two freezer drawers,
and carefully lift and slide out the
glass cold plates.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time in
months which various foods can be
stored for effectively.

packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
2-3 months:
Cakes, ice cream, stews

Fish, mushrooms, bread
