Freezing and storing frozen foodYou can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.Important!• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C orcolder before freezing food.• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. Thefreezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can befrozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food severaldays in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preservedwhen it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth willcause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.• Please note the maximum storage times specified by themanufacturer.• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked intomeals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at lowtemperatures. There is a risk of an explosion!
