Freezer compartment
Freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
■
storing frozen food
■
making ice cubes
■
freezing food
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on the
temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all valuable ingredients are largely
retained.
The time between putting fresh food in
the freezer compartment and it freezing
solid depends on the following factors:
■
set temperature
■
type of food
■
amount of food in the freezer
compartment
■
quantity and type of storage

whether or not the freezer
compartment is correctly closed.
■

engages audibly when closing.
■
When the freezer compartment door
is open, the frozen food stored there
will thaw. The freezer compartment
will become covered in thick ice.
