The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate "Freezing capacity . . . . kg/24 hrs". Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in good condition. Hints on home freezing ­ The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. Placing food in the freezer Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the upper drawers. Large quantities can be placed directly on the evaporator plates to freeze the food quickly. To do this first take out one or several freezer drawers. The lowest freezer drawer must always remain in the appliance. Each drawer and evaporator plate can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg. ^ Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the evaporator plates so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible. ^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost. 18 Freezing and storing food Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: ­ in the microwave oven, ­ in the oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, ­ at room temperature, ­ in the fridge, ­ in a steam oven. Fruit should be defrosted at room temperature in its packing or in a covered bowl. Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. Just put straight into boiling water or hot fat.
