Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the
freezer compartment.
The temperature can be set from
−16°C to −24°C.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18°C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.

ates the quantity of food that can be

food first. This is where the food
freezes most quickly.

have enough space, store the re-
maining quantity in the compart-
ment underneath.

11.3 Tips for storing food in
the freezer compartment
¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the top frozen food container.
¡ Place the food over the whole area
of the compartments or the frozen
food containers.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
11.4 Freezing smaller
amounts of food quickly
1. Add the food to the second frozen
food container from the bottom,
starting from the right.
2. Spread the food over a wide area
in the freezer compartment.
11.5 Tips for freezing fresh
food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
