Fast Freezing; Switching On Fast Freezing; Switching Off Fast Freezing; Thawing Frozen Food - Gaggenau RS 295 Gebrauchs- Und Montageanleitung

Fast freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible
in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value,
appearance and flavour.
To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when
placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch
on fast freezing several hours beforehand. As a rule,
4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer
compartment drops to a very low temperature.
If you would like to use the max. freezing capacity,
switch on fast freezing for 24 hours before placing the
fresh produce in the freezer compartment.
You can freeze smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
without fast freezing.
Note
When fast freezing is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.

Switching off fast freezing

m
Caution
Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready
meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the max.
storage period.

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage
location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs,
ready meals and pastries.

Storing food

▯
Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and
freshness will then be retained for longer.
▯
In the case of ready-made products and bottled
goods, observe the best-before date or use-by
date specified by the manufacturer.
▯
To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack
or cover food well before placing in the
appliance. This will prevent the transfer
of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts
in the refrigerator compartment.
▯
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Note
Avoid contact between food and rear panel.
Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.
Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.
Note the chill zones
in the refrigerator compartment
The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment
creates different chill zones:
▯
Coldest zone is between the vegetable container
and the glass shelf situated above.
Note
Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat)
in the coldest zone above the vegetable
container.
▯
Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
