Freezing and storing
food
Purchasing frozen food
Packaging must not be damaged.
■
Use by the "use by" date.
■
Temperature in the supermarket
■
freezer must be –18 °C or lower.
If possible, transport deep-frozen food
■
in an insulated bag and place quickly
in the freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
Freeze large quantities of food preferably
in the very top compartment where food
freezes particularly quickly and therefore
also gently. Place the food over
the whole area of the compartments
or in the frozen food container. Food
which is already frozen must not come
into contact with the food which is to be
frozen. If required, move the frozen food
to the frozen food container.
To ensure good air circulation in
the appliance, insert the frozen food
container all the way.
Do not cover the ventilation slots on
the rear panel with frozen food!

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
