Freezing, Storage
- Figure 1
Fresh food should be frozen completely and as
rapidly as possible. Frozen food can also be given a
cold boost. This is provided by the Superfrost
feature and ensures that the nutritional value,
appearance and flavor of the food remain intact.
• The maximum amount of food which can be
frozen in 24 hours is shown on the model plate
(
“Freezing capacity ... kg/24h”
), (Fig. 1, 31). This
amount varies according to the model and
climate rating.
Freezing with SuperFrost
- Figure 1
• Press the SuperFrost button (Fig. 1, 4) briefly so
the LED turns ON. The freezer temperature will
decrease and the appliance will change to the
lowest temperature.
• For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally
sufficient to turn ON SuperFrost six hours
beforehand. For the maximum amount (see
freezing capacity on the model plate) you will
need to turn it ON 24 hours before.
• Then place the fresh food inside the freezer,
preferably in the top drawers. If freezing the
maximum quantity of food, DO NOT use the
drawers; instead, place the wrapped food directly
on the glass shelves. Once the food is frozen,
you can place it into the drawers.
• The SuperFrost function turns OFF
automatically. Depending on the quantity of food
placed in the freezer, this will normally be
between 30 and maximum of 65 hours. The
freezing process is now complete; the
SuperFrost LED will turn OFF, and the freezer
will change back to normal energy-saving
operation.
IMPORTANT
You should not
turn ON the SuperFrost function:
•
when placing frozen food in the freezer;
•
when freezing up to approximately 4-1/2 lbs
(2 kg) fresh food daily.
Information System
- Figure 7
Use frozen food within the recommended period.
The numbers between the symbols indicate the
storage period in months for different kinds of
frozen foods. Storage times given are guidelines for
food frozen at home. Whether or not the lower or
upper value is applicable depends on the food
quality and how it was processed prior to freezing.
The lower values always apply to food with a high
fat content.
Figure 7
Freezer Tray*
- Figure 8
The freezer tray allows individual freezing of
berries, herbs, vegetables and other small goods. It
prevents foods from freezing together.
Items being frozen will retain more of their shape,
and it will be easier to remove exactly the right
quantity later for use.
1. Spread the items out loosely on the tray.
2. Suspend the freezer tray in one of the top
drawers. Freeze for 10 to 12 hours, then transfer
to a freezer bag or container and place in a
drawer.
3. To defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.
