a cold bag and place quickly in the freezer
compartment.
Storing frozen food
S To ensure good air circulation
in the appliance, insert the freezer
drawers all the way.
S If a large quantity of food is to be placed
in the freezer compartment, the food
can be stacked directly on the wire
shelves and on the floor of the freezer
compartment. To do this, remove all
the freezer drawers. Pull out the freezer
drawers all the way, lift at the front
and remove. Fig. q.

Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full of water and
place in the freezer compartment.
To loosen the ice cubes, hold the tray
briefly under running water or twist the
tray slightly.
Fast freeze
Several hours before placing fresh food in
the freezer compartment, switch on fast
freeze".
4-6 hours is usually adequate. If the max.
freezing capacity is used, 24 hours are
required. Smaller quantities of food can
be frozen without Fast freeze". To switch
on "Fast freeze", simply press the Fast
freeze" button Fig. 2/4.
Fast freeze" switches off automatically
after 2½ days at the latest.
Freezing food
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as
possible. To retain vitamins, nutritional
value, appearance and flavour, do not
exceed max. freezing capacity. If freezing
food in the freezer drawers, the max.
freezing capacity is reduced slightly.
Freezing capacity
Information about the max. freezing
capacity within 24 hours can be found
on the rating plate.
The max. freezing capacity is reached
on the upper wire shelf.
To retain the flavour and prevent the food
from drying out, wrap the food airtight.
Warning
Do NOT wrap food or seal containers with
materials which are a health hazard.
