Notes on refrigerating and freezing food
▪
Activate the fast cooling/freezing function (depending on model) before putting the
food or food items in the appliance (e.g. before going shopping).
▪
High-protein and high-fat foods are delicate/perishable and have a relatively short
storage life.
▪
Observe best-before and use-by dates.
▪
Wrap or cover food in the refrigerator compartment to prevent it from drying out and
flavours from transferring.
▪
Transfer the contents of opened tins to sealable containers.
▪
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in
contact with or drip onto other food.
▪
For freezing large quantities (see the identification plate for max. freezing capacity).
Place the food in the middle of the freezer compartment. If there is frozen food already
in it, distribute it between the other compartments. Activate the special function
im-
mediately before loading the food.
▪
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.
