Freezing foods / storing frozen foods

WARNING
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to an explosion.
Do not store explosive substances or
■
spray cans with flammable propel-
lants inside the appliance, as they
may cause ignitable gas-air mixtures
to explode.
WARNING
Incorrect handling, insufficient cool-
■
ing or overlapping items can spoil the
stored food. This could lead to a risk
of food poisoning when consumed!
In particular, pack raw meat and fish
■
carefully to ensure that adjacent
food cannot be contaminated by sal-
monella or similar bacteria.
Abide by the storage times recom-
■
mended by food manufacturers.
Note that the shelf life of the frozen
■
food may be shortened due to a rise
in the temperature inside the appli-
ance (from defrosting, cleaning or
power failure).
In case of prolonged power failure
■
or appliance malfunction, remove
stored frozen food from the appli-
ance and store it in a sufficiently cool
place or in another refrigerating ap-
pliance (maximum storage time in
case of malfunction: 16 hours).
After a malfunction, check wheth-
■
er the stored food is still edible. Con-
sume thawed and defrosted foods
immediately; do not refreeze.
Use only drinking water to make ice
■
cubes.

CAUTION
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the appliance
may result in injury. Risk of burns caused
by low temperatures.
The food and the inside walls of the
■
freezer have a very low temperature.
Never touch them with wet hands.
This can cause injury to the skin.
Skin damage can occur even with dry
skin.
Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a lit-
■
tle before eating, do not put into your
mouth straight from the freezer.

Freezing food

Freezing means reducing the core tempera-
ture of fresh, room-temperature food to fro-
zen as quickly as possible – for best results,
"flash-frozen". If not cooled quickly enough,
the food will be 'killed by frost', i.e. the struc-
ture will be destroyed. A constant storage
temperature of -18° C is needed to maintain
the food's consistency, taste and nutritional
value.
If you are freezing a large quantity of
food at once, set "Super freeze"
2 hours beforehand (see page EN-14).
Be sure to take note of the maximum
freezing capacity (see "Product fiche con-
cerning EU Directive no. 1060/2010" on
page EN-40).
