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 reusable
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
microwave oven, please observe the relevant operating
instructions.)
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 which contain carbon-
ated drinks as they might burst. Drinks can be cooled
down quickly, but take the bottles out of the freezer com-
partment after an hour at the most.
W Storage: Each drawer and shelf can take up to 25 kg
frozen food.
W If you want to use the maximum net capacity, you can re-
move the drawers and store items directly on the shelves.
W Removing drawers: Pull out as far as they will go and lift
at the back, fig. C1.
To insert: slide in the rails, place the drawer on the rails
and close completely, fig. C2.
W Bottom drawer: Pull out as far as it
will go and lift at the front, fig. C3.

Notes on freezing and storage
- If you have removed the drawers, do not cover the fan
slits at the back, otherwise the freezer will not work pro-
perly.
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).
VarioSpace*
- You can create a double-height space for big items of
frozen food by removing a drawer and a shelf. This en-
ables you to freeze such things as poultry or big pieces of
meat without having to cut them up first, so they can be
served "whole" afterwards, and to store other large items
such as big gateaux or packs of ice.
- Removing the drawer, fig. D1: Pull out as far as it will go
and lift at the back.
- Removing the shelf, fig. D2: Lift up at the front and pull
out.
- To insert: proceed in reverse order; simply push shelf in
as far as it will go.
