• Forfreezingfood

Ensure that the freezer-compartment door is always closed! If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in a thick layer of ice. Also: energy will be wasted due to high power consumption!

Freezingandstoring frozenfood

Buyingfrozenfood

The packaging must not be damaged.

Note the sell-by date.

The temperature in the supermarket freezer should be -18^ or lower.

Transport the frozen food in an insulating bag, where possible and put it quickly into the freezer compartment.

Storingfrozenfood

To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert the freezer drawers all the way.

Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the top compartments, where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.

Freezingfreshfood

Freezingfoodyourself

If you are freezing food yourself, use only fresh, undamaged food.

The following foods a resuitable for freezing:

Meat and sausage products, poultry and game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes and pastries, pizza, ready meals, leftovers, egg yolk and egg-white.

The following foods are not suitable for freezing:

Eggs in shells, soured cream and mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and onions.

Blanchingvegetablesandfruit

To retain colour, flavour, aroma and vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should be blanched prior to freezing. Blanching is the brief immersion of vegetables and fruit in boiling water. Literature on freezing and blanching is available in bookshops.

Freezingfood

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only.

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

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

Max.freezercapacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate.

Howtowrapfoodcorrectly:

1. Place the food in the wrapping.
2. Pressoutair.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label the wrapping with the contents and date.

The following products are suitable for wrapping food:

Plastic film, polyethylene blown film, aluminium foil and freezer tins. These products can be purchased from yourdealer.

The following products are not suitable for wrapping food:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, refuse bags and used shoppingbags.

The following products are suitable for sealing the wrapped food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar. Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.

Shelflifeoffrozenfood

Depends on the type of food. At a temperature setting of -18^ :

• Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: upto6months
• Cheese, poultry and meat: up to8months
  • Vegetables and fruit: upto12months

Superfreezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.

If max. freezing capacity is to be utilised, 24 hours are required. Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without superfreezing.

The figures next to the symbols indicate the permitted storage period in months of the produce. If frozen produce is purchased, comply with the manufacturer's date or sell-by date.

Iceblock

Fig. 6/B

If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice blocks can be used to slow down the thawing process. The longest storage time is obtained by placing the ice block directly on the food in the top compartment.

To save space, the ice block can be stored in the door compartment.

The ice blocks can also be used to cool food temporarily, e.g. in a cold bag.

Makingicecubes

Fig.7

Fill the ice cube tray 34 full of water and place in the freezer compartment. If the ice-cube tray is stuck to the freezer compartment, dislodge with a blunt implement only (spoon handle).

To loosen the ice cubes, hold the tray briefly under running water or twist the trayslightly.

Defrostingfrozen produce

Depending on the type of food and intended use, frozen produce can be defrosted:

• At room temperature,
• In a refrigerator,
• In an electric oven, with/without fan assistedhot-air,
• In a microwave

Note

• Pull out the mains plug or switch off the fuse!
• Place the freezer drawers containing the food in a cool location. Place the ice block (if enclosed) on the food.
• Pull out the drainage pipe and remove the cover. To collect the water, place a flat tray under the drainage pipe. Then pull the rubber stopper out of the appliance. Fig. 9
• To accelerate the defrosting process, place two pans of hot water on a base intheappliance.
• When the freezer compartment has defrosted, pour the water out of the freezer drawer. Wipe any remaining water off the bottom of the freezer compartment with a sponge.
• Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, lukewarm water and a little pH neutral washing-up liquid. The rinsing water must not run into the light.
  • After defrosting the freezer compartment, re-insert the rubber stopper and drainage pipe.
• Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning reconnect and switch on the appliance.

Tipsforsavingenergy

• Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (radiator, cooker, etc.). Otherwise, use an insulating plate.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
• When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of the frozen food will then cool the food in the refrigerator compartment.
• Open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
• Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to prevent an increased power consumption.
• Observe required distance of 60 mm to the backwall. The heated air can then escape without obstruction.
