Shelf life of frozen food

Storage duration depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of 0 °F:
Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:
■
up to 6 months
Cheese, poultry and meat:
■
up to 8 months
Vegetables and fruit:
■
up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in
order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance
and flavor.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer
compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an
unwanted temperature rise.
As a rule, 4–6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer
compartment drops to a very low temperature.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can
be frozen without "super freezing".
Note:
When super freezing is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Press the "super freezer" button.
If super freezing has been switched on, the button is lit.
Super freezing switches off automatically after
approximately 2½ days.

Thawing frozen food

Depending on the type and application, you can select
one of the following options:
in the refrigerator
■
in an electric oven with/without a hot air fan
■
in a microwave
■
,
CAUTION:
Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed
food. Only ready-to-eat meals (boiled or fried)
may be refrozen.

Interior fittings

(not all models)

Shelves and containers

You can vary the shelves inside the appliance and
the containers in the door to suit your requirements.
Pull shelf forward, lower and swing out to the side. Lift
the container and remove.

Bottle shelf

You can store bottles securely on the bottle shelf. The
holder is variable.

Ice pack

If a power failure or malfunction occurs, the ice packs
can be used to slow down the thawing process.
The longest storage time is obtained by placing the ice
pack directly on the food in the top compartment.
The ice packs can also be used to cool food
temporarily, e.g. in a cold bag.

Active carbon filter

The activated carbon filter ensures that air is replaced
and odors reduced in the appliance. See chapter
"Getting to know your appliance".
