8 Care and maintenance
7.4 Freezing food
Packaging
▸ Store food in the freezer compartment in suitable packaging. Depending on the
product, this may be freezer bags, aluminium foil or plastic boxes. Pack the food as
airtight as possible to prevent freezer burn.
Freezing fresh food
▸ The bottom drawer in the freezer compartment is recommended for freezing up to
about 1 kg of fresh food a day. If there is frozen food already in the bottom drawer,
distribute it between the upper freezer compartment drawers.
▸ There is a risk that freezing fresh food could cause food that is already frozen to par-
tially thaw. Freeze smaller quantities and avoid contact with food that has already
been frozen.
▸ Blanch vegetables before freezing. Aubergines, sweet peppers, courgettes, mush-
rooms, asparagus and herbs do not have to be blanched.
Unsuitable food and products
▸ The following products are not suitable for freezing: radishes, lettuces, cucumbers,
raw unshelled eggs, boiled eggs, dairy products such as yogurt, cream cheese and
curd cheese, and mayonnaise.
7.5 Defrosting food
▸ 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 steamer.
▸ Do not refreeze food once defrosted! Only after being prepared (through cooking or
frying) can food be refrozen.

8.1 Vegetable drawers and glass shelves
Condensation can form in the vegetable drawers and on the glass shelves, depending
on the kind and quantity of food being stored.
▸ Regularly wipe away any condensation with a dry
cloth.
