Before placing food in the freezer
^
When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function some time before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").
This also helps to prevent food that is
already in the freezer from starting to
defrost.
Placing food in the freezer
The following maximum capacities
must be observed:
– freezer drawer = 25 kg
– glass cold plate = 35 kg
Food to be frozen must on no
account touch food which is already
frozen to avoid partial thawing.
^
Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
– Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
Please note that when removing the
drawers, the lowest freezer drawer
must always remain in the freezer.
When placing food on the glass cold
plate make sure it does not obstruct
the ventilation gaps at the back.
This is important for problem-free
operation and normal energy
consumption.
– Freezing the maximum amount
(see data plate)
^
Remove the upper freezer drawers.
^
Place the food flat on the upper glass
cold plates so that it freezes through
to the core as quickly as possible.
Once frozen:
^
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back into the
appliance.
– 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 upper freezer drawers
and carefully lift and slide out the
glass cold plates.
