Freezing and storing
food
Purchasing deep frozen
food
S Check that the packaging is not
damaged.
S Check the sell by date.
S The temperature of the supermarket
freezer should be -18 °C or lower. If not,
the storage life of the food is reduced.
S If possible, transport deep frozen food
in an insulated bag and place quickly
in the freezer compartment.
Storing food in the
appliance
Preferably freeze large quantities of food
in the top compartments where freezing is
particular quick and therefore also gentle.
Place the food over the whole area of the
compartments or the freezer drawers.
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which is
to be frozen. If required, move the frozen
food to the freezer drawers.
Storing frozen food
To prevent poor air circulation in the
appliance, do not stack food above the
stacking limit (not all models).
S To ensure good air circulation in the
appliance, insert the freezer drawers
all the way.
24
S If large quantities of food are to be
stored in the freezer, all the freezer
drawers (except the bottom one) can be
taken out of the appliance and the food
stacked directly on the freezer shelves.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull out all
the way, lift at the front and remove.

Freezing fresh food

Freezing food yourself
If you are freezing food yourself, use only
fresh, undamaged food.
The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Meat and sausage products, poultry and
game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fruit, cakes
and pastries, pizza, ready meals,
leftovers, egg yolk and egg white.
The following foods are not suitable for
freezing:
Eggs in shells, soured cream and
mayonnaise, green salads, radishes and
onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
To retain colour, flavour, aroma and
vitamin C, vegetables and fruits should be
blanched prior to freezing.
Blanching is the brief immersion of
vegetables and fruit in boiling water.
Literature on freezing and blanching is
available in bookshops.
