Freezing Fresh Food; Packing Frozen Food - Siemens KG39NXXDA Gebrauchsanleitung

When loading products, please
note:
Freeze larger quantities of food
■
preferably in the bottom frozen food
container. This is where food freezes
particularly quickly and therefore also
gently.
Distribute the food over the whole
■
area of the compartments
or the frozen food containers.
Note
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which
is to be frozen. If necessary, re-stack
frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
To ensure air circulation in the
■
appliance, push the frozen food
container all the way in.
Freezing smaller amounts of
food
How you freeze smaller amounts of food,
so that they are frozen solid extremely
quickly, can be found in the section
Automatic super freezing.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
