Freezing and storing food
33
Before placing food in the appliance
When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the SuperFreeze
function some time before placing the
food in the freezer (see “Using
SuperFreeze”).
This helps food which is already stored
in the freezer to stay frozen.
Placing food in the appliance
The following maximum loading
weights must not be exceeded:
– Top freezer drawer = 5 kg
– Freezer drawer = 25 kg
– Shelf = 35 kg
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
Freezing small items
Place the food in the lower freezer
drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the core as quickly as
possible.
When placing food on the glass
shelf, make sure that you do not
block the ventilation slits in the back
wall of the appliance. They are
important for trouble-free operation
of the appliance and normal energy
consumption.
- Freezing the maximum amount
Remove the freezer drawers.
Place the food flat on the glass
shelves so that it freezes through to
the core as quickly as possible.
After the initial freezing process:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
- Large items
If you wish to freeze large items such as
a turkey or game, the glass cold plates
between the drawers can be removed.
Remove the freezer drawers.
Carefully lift and slide out the glass
cold plates.
