Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar

(not on all models)

• The symbols on the drawers 

show different types of frozen 
goods.

• The numbers indicate storage 

times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether 
the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid 
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. 
The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Maximum Load

In order to load large quantities or bulky freezer items, you can remove 
the interior (except for the bottom drawer and the upper compartment 
lid, which serves for good ventilation) and place the freezer goods 
directly onto the storage grid.

However, when the drawers are removed, the stored items must not 
extend the load limit at the storage grid‘s front.
