Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the
freezer freezes through to the core as
quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. The maximum freezing
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour
period is given on the data plate
"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".

Isolation plate

(depending on model, available as an
optional accessory)
The isolation plate is used to isolate
freezer drawers which you do not wish
to use, and thus save energy. It should
be used if only small amounts of food
are being stored in the freezer.

Important

– At least 2 freezer drawers must be
used for freezing food. The other
drawers can be isolated if they are
not needed.
– The drawers being used for freezing
must always be at the top of the
freezer.
– The isolation plate must be fitted
below the lowest drawer in which
food is being frozen.
– The fewer drawers you use, the more
energy you will save. Using the
isolation plate increases energy
savings considerably.

Do not store food in the "inactive"
drawers. The temperature is not
controlled in these drawers and food
stored in them would soon
deteriorate.
Example
If you only require 2 freezer drawers for
storing frozen food:
^ Place food in the top 2 freezer
drawers, leaving the other drawers
empty.
^ Take out the third drawer down and
push the isolation plate in under the
second drawer.
This "switches off" (isolates) the
drawers below.
