Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value,
flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched
before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
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.
The following foods are suitable for freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat,
game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs
without shells, dairy products such as cheese,
butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers
such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish,
potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
The following foods are not suitable for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed
raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells,
grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-
boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream,
crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Fast freezing
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in
order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance
and flavour.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer
compartment, switch on fast freezing to prevent an
unwanted temperature rise.
As a rule, 4-6 hours is adequate.
This appliance runs constantly and the freezer
compartment drops to a very low temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be used,
fast freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before
the fresh products are placed in the freezer
compartment.
You can place smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
in the top compartment without fast freezing.
Note
When fast freezing is switched on, increased
operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Press "fast" button freezer compartment h.
If the fast freezing has been switched on the button
is lit.
Fast freezing automatically switches off after
approx. 2½ days.
