Storing frozen food

If a lot of food is to be placed in the
freezer compartment, you can remove
the flap from the upper area of the
freezer compartment and the
intermediate shelf.
To prevent poor air circulation in
the appliance, do not stack food above
the stacking limit.

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.

Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
