Freezer section
Freezer section
The freezer section is a four-star freezer,
approved for freezing and storing foodstuffs.
With the exception of frost-free models, the
freezer is equipped with a practical tray for
freezing loose berries, ice cubes, etc.
Freezing
To keep food at its best, items must be
frozen to -18°C as quickly as possible.
When the Super Freeze button is pressed,
the compressor runs continuously, thus
reducing the temperature as far as possible.
If items weighing 3 kg or more are to be
frozen, the Super Freeze button should
be activated about 24 hours in advance.
To freeze smaller quantities, it is sufficient
to activate Super Freeze just a couple of
hours in advance, or even at the same time
as items are placed in the freezer.
There is no need to use Super Freeze when
pre-frozen items are placed in the freezer or
when small, single items are involved.
The control lamp lights yellow as long
as the Super Freeze function is active.
Remember to switch the Super Freeze
function off again approx. 4 hours after
placing items in the freezer. Otherwise,
the appliance will use more electricity than
necessary.
Only freeze fresh high-quality products.
Meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, dairy
products and ready-made meals are
suitable for freezing. Items with a high water
content, e.g. lettuce, radishes, grapes,
apples, pears and cucumbers, are not
suitable for freezing.
Pack items to be frozen in airtight
containers, freezer bags or similar. Freeze
items in suitable portions. Do not freeze
vegetables in portions larger than 2.5 kg.
Do not freeze meat in portions larger than
2.5 kg. Keep packages dry to prevent them
from freezing together. To ensure rapid
freezing, make sure, as far as possible,
that items placed in the freezer are not
touching. Ensure that there is as little air
in the packages as possible to prevent the
surfaces of the items from drying out.
Always remember to write the date, content
and quantity on the packages before
placing them in the appliance. It is a good
idea to group items within the freezer. Keep
vegetables in one drawer, meat in another,
and so on.
Thawing
Frozen vegetables and fruit require no
thawing before use and can be immersed in
boiling water direct from the freezer.
To thaw meat, it is advisable to take it out
of the freezer the day before it is to be
used and place it in the refrigerator section
to defrost. This ensures the best hygiene
and maintains meat quality as much as
possible.
Refreezing
If purchased items of frozen food thaw
before reaching home, they must not be
refrozen but should be consumed within
4 hours or cooked immediately and then
frozen.
Frozen items that have been placed in the
refrigerator for thawing may be refrozen
without risk if they have only just thawed.
Note:
Glass bottles or cans containing
carbonated (fizzy) drinks must never
be placed in the freezer as they may
explode.
