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
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity indicates the quantity of
food that can be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information on the maximum freezing capacity can be
found on the rating plate.
~
"Getting to know your appliance" on page 9
To use the maximum freezing capacity, switch on fast
freezing 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the
freezer compartment.

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 fit the maximum amount of frozen food into the
freezer compartment:
▯
remove all fittings.
▯
Remove the ice maker cover.
▯
Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor
of the freezer compartment.
Purchasing frozen food
▯
Check the packaging is not damaged.
▯

▯

▯
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
