Freezer
The appliance is a four-star freezer
approved for freezing and storing frozen
items of food. With the exception of no-
frost models, the freezer is equipped with a
practical tray for freezing loose berries, ice
cubes, etc.
Freezing
To keep food at its best, items must be
frozen to -18°C as quickly as possible.
When the Super Freeze button is pressed,
the compressor runs continuously, thus
reducing the temperature as far as possible.
If items weighing 3 kg or more are to be
frozen, the Super Freeze button should be
activated about 24 hours in advance.
There is no need to use Super Freeze when
pre-frozen items are placed in the freezer or
when small, single items are involved.
The control lamp lights yellow as long
as the Super Freeze function is active.
Remember to switch the Super Freeze
function off again approx. 24 hours after
placing items in the freezer. Otherwise,
the appliance will use more electricity than
necessary.
Only freeze fresh high-quality products.
Meat, poultry, sh, vegetables, fruit, dairy
products and ready-made meals are
suitable for freezing. Items with a high water
content, e.g. lettuce, radishes, grapes,
apples, pears and cucumbers, are not
suitable for freezing.
Pack items to be frozen in airtight
containers, freezer bags or similar. Freeze
items in suitable portions. Do not freeze
vegetables in portions larger than 2.5 kg.
Do not freeze meat in portions larger than
2.5 kg. Keep packages dry to prevent them
from freezing together. To ensure rapid
freezing, make sure, as far as possible,
that items placed in the freezer are not
touching. Ensure that there is as little air
in the packages as possible to prevent the
surfaces of the items from drying out.
Always remember to write the date, content
and quantity on the packages before
placing them in the appliance. It is a good
idea to group items within the freezer. Keep
vegetables in one drawer, meat in another,
and so on.
Thawing
Frozen vegetables and fruit require no
thawing before use and can be immersed in
boiling water direct from the freezer.
To thaw meat, it is advisable to take it out
of the freezer the day before it is to be used
and place it in a refrigerator to defrost. This
ensures the best hygiene and maintains
meat quality as much as possible.
Refreezing
If purchased items of frozen food thaw
before reaching home, they must not be
refrozen but should be consumed within
24 hours or cooked immediately and then
frozen.
Frozen items that have been placed in a
refrigerator for thawing may be refrozen
without risk if they have only just thawed.
Note:
Glass bottles or cans containing
carbonated (zzy) drinks must never
be placed in the freezer as they may
explode.
