� To allow storage of awkward freezing foodstuff, the drawers of the appliance are individually removable. They can be stacked in the one lying below. � The following are suitable for packing foodstuffs to be frozen: � freezing bags and foils made of polyethylene; � special tins for frozen food; � aluminium foil, extra strong. � The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. � Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encourages drying of frozen goods. � Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. � Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

Note for inspection authorities: Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
Frozen Storage
Attention! Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached. � Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. � Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.

In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in compartments and drawers. Some models are provided with index-tabs which can be attached to compartment doors and drawers. In order to identify the contents of individual compartments, attach the indextabs so that they cover the storage goods symbols (see section: "Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar"). Thus, you will have a better overview, avoid opening the door for a long time and save power. From a food safety point of view, -18 °C is deemed sufficient as cold storage temperature.
