[. . . ] 0 0 0 0 If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period: Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Unplug or switch off at the mains supply. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Maintenance and Cleaning"). Leave door open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Freezing Except for the bottom drawer, which serves for storage purposes, all compartments and drawers are suited for freezing. · The temperature in the freezer compartment must be ­18 °C or colder before freezing food. · Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate. · Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption. · Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. 0 When freezing maximum capacity press the fast freeze button 24 hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. The fast freeze button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities of up to 3 kg. 0 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. 3 818 14 33-00/7 19 Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Tips: · The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: ­ freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; ­ plastic containers for frozen goods; ­ extra­thick aluminium foil. · The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape. · Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the frozen food to dry out. · Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. · Do not fill plastic containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste­like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. 0 Once the required storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again.
