Freezer compartment

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

Storing frozen food

Making ice cubes

Freezing food

The temperature can be set anywhere between –24°C 

and –14°C.
The freezer compartment can be used to store 

perishable foods for long periods almost without any 

noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures 

considerably slow down or stop deterioration. The 

appearance, flavour and all the 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

Freezing capacity

Information about freezing capacity can be found on the 

rating plate. 

~

 "Getting to know your appliance" on page 9

To use the freezing capacity, switch on super freezing 

before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment. 

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

1.

Approx. 24 hours before inserting fresh produce: 

switch on super freezing.

2.

Take the container out of the freezer compartment 

and stack the food directly on the shelves and on 

the floor of the freezer compartment.

3.

Fill the upper compartment with food first. This is 

where the food will freeze most quickly.

4.

If the top compartment does not have enough 

space, store the remaining quantity in the 

compartment underneath.

Fully utilising the freezer volume

To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the 

freezer compartment:

Remove all fittings.

Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of 

the freezer compartment.

Purchasing frozen food

Check the packaging is not damaged.

Check there is a sell-by date.

The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 

–18°C or lower.

Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible, 

transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the 

freezer compartment quickly.

When loading products, please note:

Freeze large quantities of food in the top 

compartment.

Food will freeze very quickly and gently here.

Distribute food across the compartments or frozen 

food containers, leaving plenty of space.

Do not bring food to be frozen into contact with food 

already frozen.

If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food 

containers.

Important for unrestricted air circulation in appliance: 

Push in frozen food containers as far as they will go.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for 

freezing than food which is raw.

Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to 

the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional 

value, flavour and colour:

Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.

Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar 

or ascorbic acid solution.

Information on how to do this can be found in the 

relevant literature.

Suitable for freezing

Baked goods

Fish and seafood

Meat

Poultry and game

Vegetables, fruit and herbs

Eggs without shells

Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark

Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews, 

cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, bakes and 

desserts
