Freezing and storing food
46
– VarioRoom: freezing the maximum
amount of food (see data plate)
If the ventilation slots are blocked,
the cooling performance will de-
crease and energy consumption will
increase.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
Tip:
You can expand the space avail-
able in the freezer section. If you wish to
freeze large frozen food such as a tur-
key or game, the glass shelves between
the freezer drawers can be removed.
Remove the lowest freezer drawer.
Place the frozen food in the refrigera-
tion appliance so that it is in contact
with the bottom of the appliance or
the interior side walls.
Once frozen:
Switch the SuperFreeze function
off.
Place the frozen food in the freezer
drawers and push them back in.
