W Storage: Each drawer and cooling plate can take up to
25 kg frozen food.
W VarioSpace: By removing the 2nd and 3rd drawer and the
storage tray, you obtain the storage space for bulky goods
equivalent to two drawer heights. Poultry, meat, large
game pieces and tall baked goods can be frozen whole
and further prepared in one piece.
W If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can remove
the drawers and store items directly on the shelves.
-
Always
leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.
- If you have removed the top drawer,
do not
cover the fan slits
at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work properly.
- Removing drawers, fig. G1: Pull forward until the drawer
stops and lift out.
- Removing the shelf, fig. G2: Remove the drawers directly
above and below the shelf. Press the hook at the back
underneath the shelf downwards and pull the shelf out
towards you.
To insert: slide shelf in and allow to click into place.
W Always store identical food items together to avoid the door
being open for unnecessarily long periods and to save
energy.
W Do not exceed storage times given.
W Thawing: Only take out as much food as is immediately
required for thawing. Cook food which has been thawed as
quickly as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
- in a conventional or fan oven
- in a microwave oven
- at room temperature
- in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is
used for cooling the other food.
- Flat portions of meat or fish can be cooked when partially
thawed.
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal
time).
Freezing with SuperFrost
W Press SuperFrost button 2 briefly, so that it is lit.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the
appliance will switch to the lowest temperature.
W With a small quantity of food to be frozen, wait for
approx. 6 hours - normally sufficient, for maximum quantity
see type plate under freezing capacity, approx. 24 hours.
W 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
cooling plates. Once the food is frozen you can load it into
the drawers.
- The SuperFrost function switches off automatically after
about 65 hours. The freezing process is now complete, the
SuperFrost button will go dark, and the freezer will switch
back to normal energy-saving operation.
Note:
You should
not
switch on the SuperFrost function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.
Notes on freezing and storage
W Items suitable for freezing: meat, game, poultry, fresh fish,
vegetables, fruit, dairy products, bread, baked goods, pre-
cooked meals.
Not suitable: lettuce, radishes, grapes, whole apples and
pears, fatty meat.
W Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or re-usable
plastic, metal or aluminium containers.
W Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into
contact with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in
order to avoid them sticking together.
W Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not
exceed the stated storage time for the food. This prevents
any risk of quality impairment.
W Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities
appropriate to your household. To ensure that the food
freezes right through quickly, the following quantities
should not be exceeded per package:
- fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg;
- meat: up to 2.5 kg.
W Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add
to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly cool
down in cold water. If you blanch with a steamer or micro-
wave oven, please observe the relevant operating instruc-
tions.)
W Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables
before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food.
Some spices can alter their flavour intensity.
W Do not freeze bottles and cans with carbonated drinks.
They may burst. Drinks can be cooled down quickly, but
take the bottles out of the freezer compartment after an
hour at the most.
