Caution

If the refrigerator compartment has become too warm, cook warmed refrigerated food before consumption. If in doubt, do not use raw food.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

Fully utilising the freezer volume

To place the maximum amount of food in the freezer, the top frozen food container can be taken out of the appliance. The food can then be placed directly on the shelves and stacked in the lower frozen food container.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

To store deep-frozen food.
To make ice cubes.
To freeze food.

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 consumption!

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.

We recommend leaving the ice cube container in the appliance. This ensures optimum temperature distribution in the freezer compartment.

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
  Use by the "use by" date.
  Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18^ or lower.
  If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

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.

As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.

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