Freezing food
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as
possible. To retain vitamins, nutritional
value, appearance and flavour, do not
exceed max. freezing capacity. If freezing
food in the freezer drawers, the max.
freezing capacity is reduced slightly.
Freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing
capacity within 24 hours can be found
on the rating plate.
The max. freezing capacity is reached
on the upper wire shelf.
To retain the flavour and prevent the food
from drying out, wrap the food airtight.
