Freezing and storing food
54
- Freezing the maximum amount (see
data plate)
Ensure ventilation slots at the back
of the freezer section are always free
from obstruction.
If the ventilation slots are blocked,
this will affect performance and the
energy consumption will increase.
Make sure when arranging food on
the glass plate that it does not block
the ventilation slots.
When removing the freezer drawers,
please note that the bottom freezer
drawer must always remain in the
freezer.
 Remove the upper freezer drawers.
 Spread out the food on the upper
glass cold plates so that it freezes
through to the middle as quickly as
possible.
Once the food has frozen:
 Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawer and push it back in.
Storage time for frozen food
The storage life of food is very variable,
even at a constant temperature of 0°F
(-18°C). Decomposition processes also
take place in frozen food, albeit at a
very reduced speed. For example fat
can become rancid from contact with
oxygen in the air. This is why lean meat
can be stored approx. twice as long as
fatty meat.
The storage times quoted are guide
values for the storage life of different
food groups in the freezer section.
