Utilisable volume
You will find information regarding the utilisable volume on the rating plate (see section "After-sales service").
Cooling compartment
The cooling compartment is the ideal place to keep prepared dishes, baked goods, canned goods, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold, and tropical fruits.
When arranging the food, note the following
When arranging the food, bear in mind the following:
- Arrange your food so that it is well-packaged or covered. This ensures that the aroma, colour and freshness are not lost. This also prevents flavours from mixing and the plastic parts from becoming discoloured.
- Allow warm food and beverages to cool before putting them into the appliance.
- Do not block the cooling compartment's air outlets with food. Doing so impedes the air circulation. Food that is stored directly in front of the air outlets may become frozen by the cold air that is discharged.
Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment for the following
Storing deep frozen food.
Making ice cubes.
Freezing food.
Note
Make sure that the freezer compartment door is always closed. When the door is open, the frozen foods defrost and the freezer compartment ices up heavily. Furthermore: Energy is wasted due to the power consumption.
When you close the freezer compartment door, there is negative pressure in the freezer compartment. This causes a sucking noise. Wait for two to three minutes until the negative pressure has cleared.
Max. freezing capacity
You will find information on the maximum freezing capacity in 24 hours on the rating plate (see section "After-sales service").
Freezing and storing
Purchasing frozen foods
Packaging must not be damaged.
Observe the best before date.
The temperature in the commercial chest freezer must be -18^ or colder.
As far as possible, frozen food must be transported in an insulated container and quickly placed in the freezer compartment.
Storing frozen food
If lots of food is to be stored, you can remove the ice twister and the shelf.
To ensure that there is no impact on the air circulation in the appliance, do not stack the food beyond the stacking limit.
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.
Packaging frozen food
Pack food so that it is airtight to prevent it from losing its flavour or drying out.
- Store food in its packaging.
- Press out any air.
- Close the packaging tightly.
- Label packaging with its contents and date of freezing.
The following are suitable as packaging:
Plastic film, polyethylene hose film, aluminium foil, freezer bags. You will find these products at your specialist dealer.
