Freezing, storage

Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as possible. This 

ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavour of the 

food remains intact. 
The  maximum  amount  of  food  wich 

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on 

the type plate ("Freezing capacity 

4

...kg/24  hours").  This  amount  varies 

according  to  the  model  and  climate 

rating.

 briefly, so that the LED lights up.

-  The freezing temperature decreases, the appliance works with 

the greatest possible freezing capacity, at the same time the LED 

is lit.

•  Then insert the fresh food.

•  With a small amount of food to be frozen, wait/pre-freeze approx. 6 

hours, with the 

maximum

 amount, see rating plate under freezing 

capacity, approx. 24 hours. Then the Superfrost function can be 

switched off manually.

-  Superfrost  switches  off 

automatically 

after  approx.  60  hours. 

The freezing process is complete. 

-  

the  Superfrost  LED  is  unlit 

–  the  appliance  works  again  in 

normal energy-saving mode of the last setting.

Note:

 You 

do not

 have to switch Superfrost on:

-  when inserting food which is already frozen,

-  when freezing up to approx. 2 kg of fresh food per day.

Storage

When  storing  pre-frozen  food,  the  freezer  compartment  can  be 

filled straight away. It is not necessary to change the temperature 

setting.

Notes on freezing and storage

• 

As a guideline for the storage time, the following applies to vari-

ous foodstuffs in the freezer compartment:

Ice cream

2  to  6    months

Sausage, ham

2  to  6    months

Bread, cakes and pastries

2  to  6    months

Game, pork

6  to  10  months

Fish, oily

2  to  6    months

Fish, lean

6  to  12  months

Cheese

2  to  6    months

Poultry, beef

6  to  12  months

Vegetables, fruit

6  to  12  months

•  Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appro-

priate to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right 

through, the following quantities should not be exeeded per 

package: fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2,5 kg.

•  Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add to 

boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly cool down in 

cold water).

•  Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables before 

freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. The intensity 

of flavour of some spices can change.

•  Suitable packaging materials are conventional freezer bags, 

reusable plastic, metal and aluminium containers.

•  Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into con-

tact with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to 

avoid them sticking together.

•  Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not 

exeed the stated storage time for the food. 

•  Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated 

drinks as they might burst.

•  Only take out as much food as is immediately required for  

thawing. Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals 

as quickly as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator; the cold given off by the frozen food is used 

for cooling.

Solid cuts of meat and fish can be cooked when partly thawed.

Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal time).

Defrosting

After a longer period of operation a layer of frost or ice is  

build up on the walls. This will increase the energy con-

sumption. Therefore defrost regularly.
•  Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains 

plug or set the temperature control to "0".

•  Remove drawers and glass trays

   Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool  

place.

•  To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot wa-

ter onto the bottom of the compartement.

•  Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After 

defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appli-

ance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for 

defrosting other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Cleaning

Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out 

the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.

Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm 

water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners 

or chemical solvents.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and 

damage.

•  Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical 

components or ventilation grille.

•  Dry all parts well with a cloth.

•  Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the 

appliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

Info-System*

Use frozen food within the recommended period. 

The numbers between the symbols indicate the storage period in 

months for different kinds of frozen foods.

Storage times given are guide times for food frozen at home. 

Whether or not the lower or upper value is applicable depends on 

the food quality and how it was pro-cessed prior to freezing. The 

lower values always apply to food with a high fat content.
