Freezing and storing

food

Purchasing frozen food

Packaging must not be damaged.

Use by the “use by” date.

Temperature in the supermarket

freezer must be -18 °C or lower.

If possible, transport deep-frozen food

in an insulated bag and place quickly

in the freezer compartment.

Note when loading products

Preferably freeze large quantities

of food in the top compartment, where

food freezes particularly quickly

and therefore also gently.

Do not cover the ventilation slots on

the rear panel with frozen food.

Place the food over the whole area

of the compartments or the frozen

food containers.

Note
Food which is already frozen must not

come into contact with the food which

is to be frozen. If required, move

the frozen food to the frozen food

container.

To ensure air circulation in the

appliance, insert frozen food container

all the way.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional

value, flavour and colour, vegetables

should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and

asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching

can be found in bookshops.

Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away

from food which is already frozen.

freezing:

Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood,

meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
