Unsuitable are:
wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, refuse bags and used
shopping bags.
Place the food in the wrapping, squeeze
out all air and seal the wrapping well.
Suitable for sealing are:
elastic bands, plastic clips, string,
coldĆresistant tape or such like. Bags and
tubeĆfilm of polythene may be sealed with
a film sealer.
Before placing the food in the freezer
compartment, mark each freezer packet
with the contents and the date on which it
was inserted.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool to room
temperature before placing them in the
freezer compartment.
Fast freezing
If there is already food in the freezer
compartment, switch ON fast freezing
several hours before freezing fresh
produce. As a rule, 4-6 hours is
adequate. If max. freezing capacity is to
be utilised, 24 hours are required. Smaller
quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be
frozen without fast freeze. To switch ON
fast freeze, simply press the fastĆfreeze
button Figure 2/3.
The yellow pilot light indicates that fast
freeze is ON. The refrigerating unit now
operates continuously. The freezer
compartment drops to a low temperature.
After inserting fresh produce into the
freezer compartment, switch OFF fast
freezing. The freezing process is now
controlled automatically by the appliance
at a reduced power consumption.
When the temperature indicator Fig. 4 is
in the black area, the freezing process is
complete.
Defrosting frozen
produce
Depending on the type of food and
intended use, frozen produce can be
defrosted:
S At room temperature,
S In a refrigerator,
S In an electric oven, with/without fan
assisted hotĆair,
S In a microwave
Note
Do NOT refreeze food which is beginning
to defrost or which has already defrosted.
Only food which is subsequently prepared
(cooked or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the
max. storage period.
