Do not freeze too much food at the same time.
The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in
the specifications section.
Suitable storage periods
Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the
advice on the maximum storage period indicated on
the packaging.
Fresh food frozen at home:
Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for
more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat
food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food
and berries can be kept for approximately one year.
Thawing
It is best to use the fridge to thaw food. Place the
foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent
liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put
it in room temperature or in cold water. When using
a microwave oven to thaw foodstuff, follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Cabinet interior
Freezer drawers
The freezer drawers make it easy to quickly and
easily find the food package you want. To gain
space, the drawers can be removed and the products
can be put directly on the shelves. On all shelves,
except the top shelf, it is possible to place products
that protrude 20 mm from the front edge. This
allows maximum use of the available space.
Do not remove the bottom drawer. It is required to
assure proper air circulation.
Freezer tray
Use the freezer tray to freeze berries and vegetables.
After about 4 hours the food will be thoroughly
frozen and can then be packaged normally. Food
that is frozen in this way will not stick together,
enabling you to use only the amount required.
Cold accumulator
The cold accumulator will keep the food cold for
longer after a power failure. The cold accumulator
will be most effective when placed at the front of the
fast-freezing tray. When freezing large amounts of
food/provisions, the accumulator moves to the
tray/space nearest to the lower freezing shelf.
When defrosting:
Place the cold accumulator on top of the frozen food
to keep it cold.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray to max. 3/4 since water expands as it
freezes. Release the ice cubes by twisting the ice
tray.
If ice cubes are kept for a long time, they will dry
out and the taste is affected. Thus, throw away old
ice cubes and prepare new ones when needed.
