Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! � The temperature in the freezer compartment must be �18°C or colder before freezing food. � Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible. � Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. � Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer. � Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. � Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer. � Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst 16
