Correct Storage; Freezing And Storing Frozen Food - AEG Santo K81240i Operating Instructions Manual

Correct Storage

For physical reasons, there are different
temperature regions in the fridge. The
coldest region is on the lowest storage
shelf. Warmer regions are the top stor-
age shelf, the vegetable basket and the
storage compartments on the door.
The arrangement example shows at
which places in the refrigerator suitable
temperatures for various types of foods
exist.
Tip: Food in the fridge should always be
covered or packaged, to prevent drying
and tainting of other food.
The following are suited for packaging:
– Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;
– Plastic containers with lids;
– Special plastic covers with elastic;
– aluminium foil.

Freezing and storing frozen food

Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or
colder before freezing food or storing food already frozen.
• Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods
that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several
days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the
capacity indicated on the rating plate.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen
goods.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
