  The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information about the maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours in chapter TECHNICAL DATA).
  Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging may indicate an interruption of the cold chain.
  Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of shopping and transport it in thermally insulated bags.
  Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
• Observe the complete information on the packaging of frozen food.

4.8 Helpful hints/energy saving

✿ Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance.
◆ Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
- Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting them into an airtight bag or container.
Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.
- Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss of water and a mingling of odours.
Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance. Otherwise the energy consumption will increase.
Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you appliance.
❖ Try opening the door as little as possible, especially when the weather is warm and humid. If you open the door, close it as fast as possible.
- Permanently check, that the appliance is well-ventilated. The appliance has to be well-ventilated from all sides.

4.3.1 Meaning of the \*-labelling of freezers

WARNING! Do not eat food which is still frozen. Children should not eat ice-cream straight from the freezer. The coldness can cause injuries in the mouth.

WARNING! Contact with frozen food, ice and metal components in the freezer compartment can cause injuries similar to burns.

4.3.2 Storage of food

The operation of your appliance is described generally in the chapter “OPERATION” et seq.; the following explanations will help you to store your food properly.
Food must not get in touch with the surfaces inside the appliance directly. It has to be wrapped separately in aluminium foil or in cellophane foil or in airtight plastic boxes.

STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR COMPARTMENT

The fridge helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods.

PROPER STORAGE OF FRESH FOOD ENSURES BEST RESULTS

➢ Store food that is very fresh and of good quality only.

➢ Ensure that food is well wrapped or covered before it is stored. This will help to maintain the freshness of food and prevent it from dehydrating, deteriorating in colour or losing taste It will also prevent odour transfer.
- Vegetables and fruit need not be wrapped if they are stored in the crisper of the fridge compartment.
Make sure that strong smelling food is wrapped or covered in storage and kept away from foods such as butter, milk and cream as they can be spoiled by strong odours.
➢ Cool hot food down before placing it in the fridge compartment.

DAIRY FOODS AND EGGS

Most pre-packed dairy foods have a recommended „use by/ best before/ best by / date stamped on them. Store them in the fridge compartment and use within the recommended time.
- Butter can be spoiled by strong smelling foods so it is best stored in a sealed container.
➢ Eggs should be stored in the fridge compartment.

RED MEAT

➢ Place fresh red meat on a plate and cover it with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juice lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.

POULTRY

➢ Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and outside with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate covered with plastic wrap or foil.
➢ Poultry pieces should also be stored this way.
Whole poultry must only be filled immediately before cooking to avoid food poisoning.

FISH AND SEAFOOD

Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, they should be stored in the fridge on a plate which is covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil loosely.

If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish.
Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.

PRECOOKED FOOD AND LEFTOVERS

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
Keep for 1-2 days only.
➢ Reheat leftovers once only and until steaming hot.

CRISPER

The crisper is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables.
➢ Take care not to store the following food at temperatures of less than 7 ^ for long periods: citrus fruit, melons, pineapple, papaya, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.
Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
➢ Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas and mangoes.

FREEZING AND STORING OF FOOD IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

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

NOTICE! Ensure that the door of the freezer compartment has been closed properly.

PURCHASING OF FROZEN FOOD

The packaging must not be damaged.
➢ Use by the „use by /best before/best by/“ date.
If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

STORING OF FROZEN FOOD

➢ Store at -18 °C or colder.
- Avoid opening the freezer compartment door unnecessarily.

FREEZING OF 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.

NOTICE! Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

THE FOLLOWING FOOD IS SUITABLE FOR FREEZING

➢ Cakes and pastries.
▶ Fish and seafood.
▶ Meat, game and poultry.
▶ Vegetables, fruit and herbs.
Eggs without shells.
➢ Dairy products such as cheese and butter.
➢ Ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish.

➢ 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, yogurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

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

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.

3. Seal the wrapping.

4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

SUITABLE PACKAGING

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

RECOMMENDED STORAGE TIMES OF FROZEN FOOD IN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT

These times vary depending on the type of food.
The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at 18^ C).

FOOD	STORAGE TIME
Bacon, casseroles, milk	1 month
Bread, ice cream, sausages, pies, prepared shellfish, oily fish	2 months
Non-oily fish, shellfish, pizza, scones and muffins	3 months
Ham, cakes, biscuits, beef and lamb chops, poultry pieces	4 months
Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)	6 months
Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes	12 months

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS!

When you freeze fresh foods with a „use by /best before/best by/“ date, you must freeze them before this date expires.

Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.

Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
