6. The maximum freezing capacity given on the data plate has been calculated according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan dard Freezing fresh food Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible This way the nutritional value of the food its vitamin content appearance and taste are not impaired Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells which then shrink During the defrosting process only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells the rest collects around the food If food is frozen quickly the cells have less time to lose moisture so they shrink less As there is not so much moisture loss it is easier for the food to reabsorb it during the defrosting process and very little water collects around the defrosted food Isolation plate depending on model available as an optional accessory The isolation plate is used to isolate freezer drawers which you do not wish to use and thus save energy It should be used if only small amounts of food are being stored in the freezer Important At least 3 freezer drawers as well as the freezer tray must be used for freezing food The other drawers can be isolated if they are not needed However no fewer than the two bottom drawers can be isolated The drawers being used for freezing must always be at the top of the freezer The isolation plate must be fitted below the lowest drawer in which food is being frozen
7. The fewer drawers you use the more energy you will save Using the isolation plate increases energy savings considerably Freezing and storing food Do not store food in the inactive drawers The temperature is not controlled in these drawers and food stored in them would soon deteriorate Example If you only require 3 freezer drawers as well as the freezer tray for storing frozen food m Place food in the top 3 freezer drawers leaving the other drawers empty m Take out the fourth drawer down and place the isolation plate under the third drawer This switches off isolates the drawers below 18 Storing frozen food When buying frozen food to store in your freezer check that the packaging is not damaged the use by date the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than 18 C m Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it m Store it in the freezer as soon as possible Never re freeze partially or fully defrosted food Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long Defrosted food may only be re frozen after it has been cooked Freezing and storing food Home freezing Only freeze fresh fo
