■As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment.

When arranging the food, note the following:

It is preferable to freeze larger quantities of food on the appliance floor because they will become frozen more quickly and gently there. Lay the food over a wide area on the floor of the appliance. Food that is already frozen must not come into contact with the food that is to be freshly frozen.

Freezing fresh food

Only use fresh, undamaged food for freezing.

In order to retain the nutritional value, aroma and colour of the food as much as possible, blanch vegetables before they are frozen. Blanching is not required for aubergines, peppers, courgettes and asparagus.

You can find literature about freezing and blanching in bookshops.

Note!

Do not allow food that is to be frozen to sit right next to food that has already been frozen.

■The following are suitable for freezing: Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without their shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and curd cheese, prepared dishes and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, baked casseroles and sweet foods.
■The following are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables that are usually eaten raw - such as green salad or radishes, eggs in their shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

General tips

■When putting food in or taking food out, open the lid of the chest for as little time as possible.
■Do not install the chest freezer in a damp room. A high level of humidity aids the formation of frost.
■Package fresh food so that it is as air-tight as possible.

Attention

Do not scrape away the layer of ice using a knife or a sharp object. You could damage the refrigerant pipes. If refrigerant shoots out, it may ignite or cause eye injuries.

Defrosting the appliance

1. Clear out the frozen food and store it in several layers of newspaper or wrap it in a blanket and store it in a cool place.
2. Leave the lid open and unplug the mains plug.
3. Lay the flat drawer for collecting the condensation water under the drain hole for condensation water figure 6/1.
4. Pull out the exterior drain plug, figure 6/2 and turn it until the arrow points downwards, figure 6/3.
5. Pull out the interior drain plug, figure 6/4.
6. After defrosting, clean the appliance and wipe the inside dry.
7. Close the interior drain plug.
8. Turn the exterior drain plug until the arrow points upwards and push it in.
9. Plug in the appliance and put the frozen food back in.

Defrosting aids

To speed up the defrosting process, you can use a plastic scraper to remove the layer of ice
