Shelf life of frozen food

Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes
■
and pastries:
up to 6 months
Cheese, poultry and meat:
■
up to 8 months
Vegetables and fruit:
■
up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly
as possible in order to retain vitamins,
nutritional value, appearance and flavour.
To prevent an undesirable temperature
rise when placing fresh food in
the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing several hours beforehand.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
can be frozen without "super freezing".
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.

Caution
