transparent freezer-bags. We advise you to use commercially available labels for
frozen foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your household to prevent defrosting of
quantities that are too large for consumption in one day in your household.
Label the portions with at least the following information:
• Product name (e.g. beef fillet)
• Weight of portion
• Quantity (total of pieces)
• Freezing date
• Use by date (consumption date) (see "storage table")
Then continue as follows:
a) We recommend you place fresh foods in the fast freezing compartment at the side
(f) (not all models are equipped) or on the bottom of the freezer. This is the coldest
part.
Avoid to put fresh foods directly in contact with deep frozen food. Deep frozen food
could defrost and may not outlast the foreseen storage time.
b) Fill in within 24 hours, only the quantities of fresh food that is suitable for the
freezing capacity of your appliance.
See information on the rating plate (XX kg/24h)
c) If available, switch on the FAST FREEZE SWITCH (FIG.4) (not absolutely
necessary when filling in already frozen (e.g. deep-frozen food) items.
d) After 24 hours, shift deep-frozen goods from the freezer bottom or the pre-freeze
shelf to a hung basket so that the pre-freeze shelf or freezer bottom is available for
freezing additional fresh foods.
e) Turn off the FAST FREEZE SWITCH, the yellow light goes off. Skip this step if the
appliance is not equipped with the FAST FREEZE SWITCH.
f) Set the temperature control to one of the appliance's relevant filling capacities (see
"Maximum stacking height").
g) Keep the temperature in the storage shelf (d) under control, preferably by placing
a thermometer with a scale range of up to –26°C.
The storage temperature must always be at least -18°C.
