Freezer compartment Freezing fresh food Use the freezer compartment Ø to store deep-frozen food, Ø to make ice cubes, Ø to freeze 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. Caution! Ensure that bottles are not left in the freezer for longer than needed as freezing may cause the bottle to break. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops. Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power con­ sumption! When the freezer compartment door is closed, a low pressure occurs, causing a sucking noise. Wait two to three minutes until the low pressure has adjusted itself. Purchasing frozen food Ø Packaging must not be damaged. Ø Use by the “use by” date. Ø Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower. Ø If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Drawers The drawers, mounted on telescopic extension slides, can be used to store large quantities of frozen food. When you remove the drawer pull it forwards and lift off the sliders. Remember to remove all food first. Once you have removed the drawer, ensure the slides are pushed back fully. Fully utilising the freezer volume If you don't need ice, you can switch off the ice maker and replace the ice bucket by the door rack (~ chapter “Cleaning the appliance”). Freezing capacity Information about the freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. Note: Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. Ø 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, soufflés and desserts. Ø 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, hardboiled 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.

Place food in packaging. Remove air. Seal the wrapping. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing. Suitable packaging: Cling wrap, 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 (PE) can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food Switching on super freezing Storage duration depends on the type of food. At a temperature of -18 °C: Ø Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months Ø Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months Ø Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months Press the “Freezer / super 3s” button for 3 seconds to switch on “super freezing”. Display Ê (super freeze) goes on and the freezer compartment temperature display shows “-24 °C”. Freezer calendar Switching off super freezing To switch off “super freezing”, press the “Freezer / super 3s” button. If super freezing is switched off, display Ê (super freeze) goes out. The appliance automatically switches to the temperature set prior to super freezing mode. Notes Ø Super freezing automatically switches off after 52 hours. Ø Activation of “energy save” or “holiday” mode will switch off super freezing. To prevent the quality of the frozen food from deterior­ ating, do not exceed the storage duration. The storage period depends on the type of produce. The figures next to the symbols indicate the permitted storage period of the produce in months. In case of commercialy available frozen food observe the date of manufacture or use-by date. Super freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour. The appliance runs constantly when super freezing has been switched on. The freezer compartment tempera­ tures are much lower than in normal operation. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise. If the freezing capacity according to the rating plate is to be used, switch on super freezing 24 hours before the fresh products are placed in the freezer compart­ ment. Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without super freezing.

Thawing froozen food Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options: Ø at room temperature Ø in the refrigerator Ø in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air Ø 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.

Refrigerator compartment The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries. Storing food Ø Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer. Ø In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer. Ø To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment. Ø Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance. Note: Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel. Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones: Ø Coldest zone is between the vegetable container and the glass shelf situated above. Note: Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone above the vegetable container. Ø Warmest zone is at the very top of the door. Note: Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread. Fruit and vegetables crisper The crisper, mounted on telescopic extension slides, is for storing vegetables and fruit. When you remove the crisper pull it forwards and lift off the sliders. Remember to remove all food first. Once you have removed the crisper, ensure the slides are pushed back fully. Notes Ø Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C to +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour. Ø Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
