Storing frozen food
Store at ‐18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer drawers unnecessarily.

flap and then slide it along the guide rail by holding
the flap at a certain angle until it is held in place.
To close the flap after storing food, hold and pull it
out by sliding it along the guide rail.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before
freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews,
cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
The following foods are not suitable for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells,
grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard‐boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream,
and mayonnaise.
