Before placing food in the freezer
^
When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
Freeze function ahead of time (see
Super Freeze).
This will protect the food that is
already in the freezer with an added
boost of cold.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer section.
Larger quantities should be placed
directly on the glass shelves, where
they will freeze more quickly, which is
better for maintaining quality. To do
this, first remove the freezer drawers.
Always leave the bottom freezer drawer
in the appliance!
When you remove the top freezer
drawers, take care not to cover the
ventilation slits on the rear wall of the
appliance. They are important for
trouble-free operation!
Each freezer drawer and glass shelf
has a maximum load capacity of
25 kg.
^
Spread the food to be frozen across
the entire bottom of the freezer
drawer or across the glass shelves
so that it will freeze through to the
core as quickly as possible.
^
When placing items in the freezer,
make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
from sticking together when frozen.
When freezing, make sure that
already frozen food does not come
into contact with fresh food being
frozen so that the frozen food does
not start to defrost.
Freezing large items
If you wish to freeze large items such
as turkey or game you can remove the
glass shelves between the freezer
drawers. To do this:
^
Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully lift and slide out the glass
shelves!
