WFreezer compartment

Fr eezer compar t ment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

■ storing frozen food

■ making ice cubes

■ freezing food

The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-

24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).

The freezer compartment can be used to store

perishable foods long-term almost without any

noticeable reduction in quality, as the low

temperatures considerably slow down or stop

deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable

ingredients are largely retained.

The time between putting fresh food in the freezer

compartment and it freezing solid depends on the

following factors:

■ temperature set

■ type of food

■ amount of food in the freezer compartment

■ quantity and type of storage

Fully utilizing the freezer volume

To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the

freezer compartment:

■ Remove all fittings.

■ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor

of the freezer compartment.

Purchasing frozen food

■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.

■ Check there is a sell-by date.

■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must

be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.

■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,

transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in

the freezer compartment quickly.

When loading products

■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top

compartment.

This is where it will freeze especially quickly and

gently.

■ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen

food containers.

■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into

contact with frozen food.

If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food

containers.

■ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the

appliance:

push in frozen food containers up to the limit

stop.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.

Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable

for freezing than food which is eaten raw.

Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate

to the food in order to retain the best possible

nutritional value, flavor and color:

■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.

■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add

sugar or ascorbic acid solution.

Information on how to do this can be found in

relevant literature.

Suitable for freezing

■ Baked goods

■ Fish and seafood

■ Meat

■ Poultry and game

■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs

■ Eggs without shells

■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark

■ Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews,

cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and

desserts

en-us Defrosting

20

Not suitable for freezing

■ Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw,

e.g. lettuce or radishes

■ Unpeeled or hard-boiled eggs

■ Grapes

■ Whole apples, pears and peaches

■ Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche

and mayonnaise

Packing frozen food

The correct type of packaging and material selection

are decisive factors in the retention of the product

quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.

1. Place food in packaging.

2. Remove air.

3. Pack food airtight to prevent it from losing flavor

or drying out.

4. Label packaging with contents and date of

freezing.

Suitable packaging:

■ Plastic foil

■ Tubular foil made of polyethylene (PE)

■ Aluminum foil

■ Freezer containers

Suitable closures:

■ Rubber bands

■ Plastic clips

■ Cold-resistant adhesive tape

Unsuitable packaging:

■ Wrapping paper

■ Greaseproof paper

■ Cellophane

■ Garbage bags and used grocery bags

Shelf life of frozen food at 0 °F (-18 °C)

Thawing frozen food

The thawing method must be adjusted to the food

and application in order to retain the best possible

product quality.

Thawing methods:

■ in the refrigerator compartment (especially

suitable for animal-based foods such as fish,

meat, cheese, quark)

■ at room temperature (bread)

■ in the microwave (food for immediate

consumption or immediate preparation)

■ in the oven/cooker (food for immediate

consumption or immediate preparation)

9 CAUTION

Do not refreeze partly or completely thawed

food. You can only refreeze food once it has

been cooked (boiled or fried).

The frozen food can no longer be stored for the

maximum duration.
