Freezing Calendar
The symbols show different types of
frozen goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of
frozen goods. Whether the upper or
lower value of the indicated storage time
is valid depends on the quality of the
foods and pre-treating before freezing.
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to
being used, can be thawed in the
refrigerator or at room temperature,
depending on the time available for
this operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still
frozen, directly from the freezer: in this
case, cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production

more trays for the production of ice-

Cold accumulators
2 cold accumulators are supplied in

of time for which food will keep in the
event of a power failure or breakdown.
They must be placed in the top
drawer
HINTS
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the
freezing process, here are some
important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food
which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is
shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24
hours. No further food to be frozen
should be added during this period;
• prepare food in small portions to
enable it to be rapidly and
completely frozen and to make it
possible subsequently to thaw only
the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil
or polythene and make sure that
the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food
to touch food which is already
frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter;
• water ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, can possibly
cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing-
in date on each individual pack to
enable you to keep tab of the
storage time;
• do n n ot p p ut c c arbonated l l iquids ( ( fizzy
drinks, e e tc.) i i n t t he f f reezer
