Bosch B10CB80NVS Owner's Manual

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and 

color, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. 

Eggplants, 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.

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.

To prevent food from losing its flavor or drying out, 

place in airtight containers.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.

liners and used shopping bags.

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant 

adhesive tape, etc.
Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can 

be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Storage duration depends on the type of food.
At a temperature of 0 °F:

■

Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:
up to 6 months

■

Cheese, poultry and meat:
up to 8 months

■

Vegetables and fruit:
up to 12 months

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in 

order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance 

and flavor.
Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer 

compartment, switch on super 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, super 

freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before 

the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 4.4 lbs or 2 kg) can 

be frozen without “super freezing”.
Note:

When super freezing is switched on, increased 

operating noises may occur.

Press button „super freezer“.
If the super freezing has been switched on the button is 

lit.
Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 

2½ days.

Depending on the type and application, select one of 

the following options:

■

at room temperature,

■

in the refrigerator,

■

in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air,

■

in the microwave.

,

CAUTION: 
Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only 

ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
No longer store the frozen produce for the max. 

storage period.
