Freezer compartment
Use the freezer compartment
■ To store deep-frozen food.
■ To make ice cubes.
■ To freeze food.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly. If the
door is open, the frozen food will thaw.
The freezer compartment will become
covered in thick ice. Also: waste of
energy due to high power consumption!
Max. freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing
capacity within 24 hours can be found
on the rating plate. Fig. .
Prerequisites for max. freezing
capacity
■ Switch on super freezing before
placing fresh products in the
compartment (see chapter entitled
“Super freezing”).
■ Remove the fittings. The food can
be stacked directly on the shelves
and in the bottom of the freezer
compartment.
■ Large quantities of food are frozen
most quickly in the top compartment.
If the top compartment is not
adequate for the freezing capacity
indicated on the rating plate, you can
place the remaining quantity in the
compartment underneath starting at
the front right side.
■ Freeze fresh food as close as possible
to the side panels.
Freezing and storing
food
Purchasing frozen food
■ Packaging must not be damaged.
■ Use by the “use by” date.
■ Temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be -18 °C or lower.
■ If possible, transport deep-frozen food
in an insulated bag and place quickly
in the freezer compartment.
Note when loading products
■ Freeze large quantities of food
preferably in the very top
compartment where food freezes
particularly quickly and therefore also
gently.
■ Place the food over the whole area of
the compartments or the frozen food
containers.
Note
Food which is already frozen must
not come into contact with the food
which is to be frozen. If required,
move the frozen food to the frozen
food containers.
Storing frozen food
Insert frozen food container all the way to
ensure unrestricted air circulation.
