Freezing and storing food
49
Before placing food in the freezer
When freezing more than 4.5 lbs
(2 kg) of fresh food, switch on the au-
tomatic SuperFreeze function some
time before placing food in the freezer
(see “Using automatic SuperCool and
SuperFreeze - SuperFreeze”). This
helps food which is already stored in
the freezer to remain frozen.
Placing food in the freezer
The following maximum loads
must not be exceeded:
– freezer drawer = 55 lbs (25 kg)
– glass cold plate = 77 lbs (35 kg)
Unfrozen food should not touch
frozen food as this will cause frozen
food to begin to thaw.
When placing items in the freezer, en-
sure that the packaging and contain-
ers are dry to prevent them from
sticking together when frozen.
- Freezing small amounts of food
Place the food in the upper freezer
drawers.
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the freezer drawer so that it freezes
through to the middle as quickly as
possible.
- Freezing the maximum amount (see
data plate)
Ensure ventilation slots at the back
of the freezer section are always free
from obstruction.
If the ventilation slots are blocked,
this will affect performance and the
energy consumption will increase.
Make sure when arranging food on
the glass plate that it does not block
the ventilation slots.
When removing the freezer drawers,
please note that the bottom freezer
drawer must always remain in the
freezer.
Remove the upper freezer drawers.
Spread out the food on the upper
glass cold plates so that it freezes
through to the middle as quickly as
possible.
Once the food has frozen:
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
