Page: 27 / 53

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 compartment.
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.
Caution!
Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could stick to the
food and cause skin abrasions.
Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment.
Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost.
Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
special cans for frozen goods;
extra-thick aluminium foil.
The followings are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the
frozen food to dry out.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important!
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment
using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage the
refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.
