2.
Take the container out of the freezer
compartment and stack the food
directly on the shelves and on the
floor of the freezer compartment.
3.
First fill the upper compartment with
food. This is where the food will
freeze most quickly.
4.
If the top compartment is
inadequate, store the remaining
quantity in the compartment
underneath.
Fully utilising the freezer
volume
To fit the maximum amount of frozen
food into the freezer compartment:
■
Up to an appliance height of
1300 mm, remove all fittings
apart from the uppermost fitting.
■
As of an appliance height of
1300 mm, remove all fittings.
■
Store food directly on the shelves
and on the floor of the freezer
compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
■
Ensure the packaging is not
damaged.
■
Do not exceed the minimum sell-by
date.
■
The temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be –18 °C or lower.
■
If possible, transport frozen food in a
cool bag and place quickly in the
freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
■
Freeze large quantities of food in the
top compartment.
This is where the food will freeze
especially quickly and gently.
■
Distribute food in the compartments
or frozen food containers.
■
Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the
frozen food containers.
■
Important for unrestricted air
circulation in the appliance:
push in frozen food container all the
way.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is
more suitable for freezing than food
which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations
appropriate to the food in order to retain
the best possible nutritional value,
flavour and colour:
■
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
■
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid
solution.
Information on how to do this can be
found in the relevant literature.
