• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
1. To freeze the maximum quantity shown on the rating plate press the
FROSTMATIC button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for
smaller quantities. Yellow display lights up.
The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small
quantities.
2. All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to
freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that
no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food causing skin abrasions.
3. Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment.
Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost.
The appliance's electronics switch off the FROSTMATIC function auto-
matically after
the FROSTMATIC function manually by pressing the FROSTMATIC but-
ton again.
When the FROSTMATIC function is switched on the ACTUAL tempera-
ture in the fridge can fall slightly. Once the FROSTMATIC function has
been switched off the selected DESIRED temperature will be resumed.
Tips:
• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– special cans for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for
the frozen food to dry out.
• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or
paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-
up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
