Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Cabinet interior

Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
Temperature control / Temperature indicator
The temperature indicator aids in evaluating the
quality of the food products after a power failure.
Fast freezing:
Put the indicator upside-down far into the freezer.
When the fluid inside the indicator has frozen, turn it
correctly and put it in place. See the picture.
In case of breakdowns:
Read the indicator to evaluate what to do with the
food products.
Green: The fluid thaws at -12_C
Yellow: The fluid thaws at -8_C
Red: The fluid thaws at -2_C
Between -12_ _ _ _ and -8_ _ _ _ C
Most food products can be refrozen. Ice cream is
very sensitive to varying temperatures and should be
consumed as soon as possible.
Between -8_ _ _ _ and -2_ _ _ _ C
The food products should be heated before con-
sumption or be refrozen. Avoid eating shellfish that
has thawed.
Take out the indicator, turn it upside-down and make
sure the fluid runs back into place. Then refreeze the
indicator according to " Fast freezing" above.

Thawing

It is best to use the fridge to thaw food. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
