on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is
frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable
materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill
cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.
Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen
food could begin to defrost.
Caution!
Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze
to the food.

Freezing Calendar
• The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage
time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before
freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
