NOTICE
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the appliance may result in dam-
age.
• Do not freeze drinks! Water expands when frozen
and can burst the container.
To maintain the taste and nutritional value of your frozen food and
to make sure your appliance does not use too much electricity, and
the freezer compartment does not need to be defrosted unneces-
sarily often, please note the following points:
• Frozen food requires a constant storage temperature of -18 °C.
• The maximum volume of fresh food as indicated under ‘Freezing
capacity’ in the chapter ‘Technical data’ can be frozen within 24
hours.
• Only freeze good quality food that has been prepared, split into
portions and packaged as appropriate for its properties.
• You should also freeze meals in portion sizes if possible. Small
portions are quicker to freeze to the core.
• Raw or prepared meat, poultry and fish should be frozen in
household-sized portions and defrosted later in the refrigerator.
When defrosting frozen food ensure that it does not sit in its own
thawing liquid.
• Freeze fresh and prepared food dry and unseasoned. This ex-
tends the shelf life.
• To make sure frozen food does not dry out, take on the flavour
of other foods or leak, use robust packaging material, i.e. that is
air-tight and water-tight, is not too stiff and can be closed easily
and labelled.
• Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for storing ready frozen
food.
• Adhere to the recommended storage times and temperatures.
• When storing fresh food, make sure that it does not come into
contact with food that is already frozen, as this food may other-
wise defrost.
• Allow prepared food to cool before freezing. This not only saves
energy, but it also prevents excessive frost formation in the
freezer.
Preparing ice cubes
• Fill an ice cube tray 3/4 full with fresh tap water and place it
horizontally in the freezer compartment.
• The ice cubes are best removed by bending the ice cube tray
slightly or holding it under running water for a short while.
