Shelf life of frozen food
Storage duration depends on the type
of food.
At a temperature of -18 °C:
■
Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes
and pastries:
up to 6 months
■
Cheese, poultry and meat:
up to 8 months
■
Vegetables and fruit:
up to 12 months
Super freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food
in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly
and the freezer compartment drops to
a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
can be frozen without “super freezing”.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
