Purchasing frozen food

Packaging must not be damaged.
■
Use by the "use by" date.
■
Temperature in the supermarket
■
freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
If possible, transport deep-frozen food
■
in an insulated bag and place quickly
in the freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
Preferably freeze large quantities
■
of food in the top compartment, where
food freezes particularly quickly
and therefore also gently.
Do not cover the ventilation slots on
■
the rear panel with frozen food.
Place the food over the whole area
■
of the compartments or the frozen
food containers.
Note
Food which is already frozen must not
come into contact with the food which
is to be frozen. If required, move
the frozen food to the frozen food
container.
To ensure air circulation in the
■
appliance, insert frozen food container
all the way.

Freezing fresh food

should be blanched before freezing.

asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
