Practical advice on freezing
? When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest
part.
? Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
? Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
? Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
? Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
? Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
Check that the cabinet is operating and
keeps the set temperature one day after
switching it on for the first time. Only
after then should the freezer be used to
freeze fresh foodstuff.
Suitable storage periods
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.
Thawing
It is best to use a fridge to thaw food. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuffs, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
