Freezing tips
To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips:
• The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID
plate.
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time.
• Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make
it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising
their temperature.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may
cause frost burns to the skin.
• We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package.
• To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer.
Thawing food
Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
ambient temperature, depending on the time available.
Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is still frozen. In
this case, cooking will take longer.
Important! In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power break, quickly
eat the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food.
Warning! No thawed food may be replaced in the freezer. Place it in the refrigerator then
eat it quickly.
Refreezing a thawed product encourages the spread of bacteria. This may become a health
hazard if the bacteria that spreads are pathogens, as these may cause more or less serious
food poisoning depending on the type of bacteria involved. If any doubt, cook the food
involved.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions:
• Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer.
• Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary.
• Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food.
