A delight in freshness
Information system
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 guide times 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.
Freezer tray
This is used for gently freezing berries, herbs, vegetables and
other small items and prevents them from sticking together.
Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be
easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.
W Spread the items out loosely on the tray, fi gure H.
W 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 put in a drawer.
W To defrost, spread the frozen items out loosely.

fi rst having to cut them up, so they can be
served "whole" afterwards.
- Removing drawers, fi gure G1: Pull for-
ward until the drawer stops and lift out.
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
- in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is
used for cooling the other food.
- Flat portions of meat or fi sh can be cooked when partially
thawed.
- Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal
time).
Freezing with SuperFrost
W Press the SuperFrost button4briefl y so that it lights up.
The freezer temperature will decrease and goes 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. De-
pending 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, and the freezer will switch back to
normal energy-saving operation.
Note: You should not switch on the SuperFrost func tion:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 4.4 lb (2 kg) fresh food daily.
Notes on freezing and storage
W Items suitable for freezing: meat, game, poultry, fresh fi sh,
vegetables, fruit, dairy prod ucts, 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 plas-
tic, 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 ap-
propriate 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 2.2 lb (1 kg);
- meat: up to 5.5 lb (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 be-
fore freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. Some
spices can alter their fl avour intensity.
W Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated 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 55 lb (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.
- 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.
W VarioSpace: You can create a double-height space for big
items of frozen food by removing the 2nd and 3rd drawers
and the intervening shelf. This enables you to freeze such
things as poultry, big pieces of meat or large cakes without
