Do not store explosive substances in the appliance. Risk of explosion! 9 CAUTION: Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Before freezing the food, first boil or fry it. Never keep frozen food longer than the maximum storage duration. Use the freezer compartment ▯ To store frozen food. ▯ To make ice cubes. ▯ To freeze food. Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has always been closed properly! If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Besides: energy is wasted due to the high power consumption! Freezing and storing food Purchasing frozen food ▯ The packaging must not be damaged. ▯ Pay attention to the expiration date. ▯ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F (–18 °C) or lower. ▯ If possible, transport frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Freezing fresh food Freeze only fresh and undamaged food. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Eggplants, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching. Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookstores. Note: Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen. ▯ The following foods are suitable for freezing: Baked goods, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. ▯ The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Vegetables that 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 flavor or drying out, place in airtight containers.

1. Place food in packaging.

3. Seal the packaging.

4. Label packaging with contents and date of

freezing. Suitable packaging: Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum 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 Shelf life depends on the type of food. At a temperature of 0° F (–18° C): ▯ Fish, sausage, ready meals, cakes and pastries: up to 6 months ▯ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months ▯ Vegetables, fruit: up to 12 months16 Fast freezing Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavor. To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on fast freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate. 24 hours are necessary when using the maximum freezer capacity fully. After 2 days the temperature set before fast freezing is automatically restored. Switching on Press fast freezing button ³. The display panel indicates the symbol SUPER¾ and the compartment for which the function was switched on. Switching off Press fast freezing button ³. Thawing frozen food Depending on the type and application, you can select one of the following options: ▯ at room temperature ▯ in the refrigerator ▯ in an electric oven with/without a hot air fan ▯ in a microwave. 9 CAUTION: Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed food. Only food that has then been cooked (boiled or fried) may be refrozen. Do not store the frozen produce for the max. storage period. Ice maker The ice maker makes ice cubes. The ice maker starts to make ice cubes as soon as the appliance has reached the set temperature. If the ice cube container is full, the ice maker automatically switches off. 9 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. Switching on Note: If the ice maker is used for the first time and/or a long period of not being used, do not use the ice which is produced in the first day for hygiene reasons.
