9 Care and maintenance
▪
Depending on the product, the following packaging materials are suitable: freezer
bags, aluminium foil or plastic boxes. Freezer burn can be avoided by making the
food packaging as airtight as possible.
▪
Do not refreeze food once defrosted! Only after being prepared (through cooking or
frying) can food be refrozen.
▪
Blanch vegetables before freezing. Aubergines, sweet peppers, courgettes, mush-
rooms, asparagus and herbs do not have to be blanched.
▪
The following products are not suitable for freezing: radishes, lettuces, cucumbers,
raw unshelled eggs, boiled eggs, dairy products such as yogurt, cream cheese, curd
cheese and mayonnaise.
▪
Do not defrost frozen food at room temperature or on the heating. Food defrosts
slowly in the refrigerator compartment. As a quick alternative, defrost in a microwave
or steam cooker.

Notes on saving energy
▪
Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays as far as possible in the positions
that they were in upon delivery. These ensure ideal temperature distribution and effi-
ciency.
▪
Only open the appliance door when necessary and keep it open for as short a time as
possible.
▪
Allow hot or warm food to cool down before putting it in the appliance.
▪
Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered. Moisture reduces
the cooling capacity.
▪
For ideal air circulation: Do not store food and food items too close to each other.
