11 Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature in the freezer com-
partment depends on the temperat-
ure in the refrigerator compartment.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18 °C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.

door
To ensure that the frozen food that is
stored does not thaw and the freezer
compartment is not covered in too
much ice, always close the freezer
compartment door.
The position of the handle on the
freezer compartment door indicates
whether or not the freezer compart-
ment is correctly closed.
Note:
When you close the freezer
compartment door, you can hear it
engaging.
