How to freeze food
1. Wrap fresh food you want to freeze in aluminium foil, cling film, air and water
tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers or other suitable plastic containers
with a lid.
2. Leave some free space between the single pieces of frozen food as proper air
circulation is required.
3. The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information
about the maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours in chapter technical data).
4. Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging
may indicate an interruption of the cold chain.
5. Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of
shopping and transport it in thermally insulated bags.
6. Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
7. Observe the complete information on the packaging of frozen food.
8. Making of ice cubes: fill the ice cube tray
compartment. Dry the form before, so it cannot freeze-up. Do not use any
sharp-edged or pointed items to remove the ice cube tray if it is frozen on the
freezer compartment. Hold the tray under flowing cold water and twist the ice
cube form slightly when removing the ice cubes.
