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 rel-
evant operating instructions.)
W Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegeta-
bles 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
compartment 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
remove the drawers and store items directly on the
shelves.
- Always leave the bottom drawer in the appliance.
W Removing drawers: Pull forward
until the drawer stops and lift out.
- If you have removed the drawers, do
not cover the fan slits at the back,
otherwise the freezer will not work
properly.
W Always store identical food items to-
gether 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 immediate-
ly 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 par-
tially thawed.
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the nor-
mal time).
SuperFrost, notes on freezing and storage
SuperFrost
fig. A1
Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as pos-
sible. Frozen food can also be given a cold boost. This
is provided by the SuperFrost facility and ensures that the
nutritional value, appearance and flavour of the food remain
intact.
W The maximum amount of food which can be frozen in
24 hours is shown on the type plate ("Freezing capacity
... kg/24h"), fig. A2, pos. 4. This amount varies accord-
ing to the model and climate rating.
Freezing with SuperFrost
W Press the SuperFrost button 4 briefly so that it
lights up.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the ap-
pliance will switch to the lowest temperature.
W For small amounts of frozen food, it is normally suffi-
cient to switch on SuperFrost 6 hours beforehand. For
the maximum amount (see freezing capacity on the type
plate) you will need to switch it on 24 hours beforehand.
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
shelves. Once the food is frozen you can load it into the
drawers.
- The SuperFrost function switches off automatically.
Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer,
this will normally be between 30 and max. 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: When the SuperFrost function is activated the appli-
ance will be running at full capacity, so the refrigera-
tion unit will sound slightly louder for a while.
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 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.
