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

Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment, where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
- Do not cover the ventilation slots on the rear panel with frozen food.
- Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or the frozen food containers.

Note

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 air circulation in the appliance, insert frozen food container all the way.

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.

The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, souffles and desserts.
The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Storage duration depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18^ :

Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months
Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months
Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.

This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2kg ) can be frozen without "super freezing".

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2

Press "super" button 2.

If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit.

Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 212 days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

at room temperature
in the refrigerator

in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air
in the microwave

Caution

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Ice dispenser

The following can be dispensed as required:

crushed ice,
ice cubes.

Warning

Never reach into the ice cube dispenser opening! Risk of injury!

Caution

Do not place bottles or food in the cube container in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block and be damaged.

When switching on, observe the following

The ice dispenser will not function unless the appliance is connected to the water mains and the ice maker is switched on.

When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready.

When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene.

Operating the ice maker

When the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes into ice cubes. When the ice cubes are ready, they are automatically discharged into the ice cube container.

Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes stick together. When they are conveyed to the outlet opening, they usually break away from each other.

When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically.

When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard.

All materials used in the drinks dispenser are odourless and tasteless.

If the ice has an aftertaste, this may be caused by:

Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water.
Material of the domestic water line and connection line.
- Freshness of the drinking water. If ice has not been dispensed for a long time, the ice may have a "stale" taste. In this case remove approx. 30-40 ice cubes and throw away.
