Freezer compartĆ
ment
The freezer compartment temperature
can be set from -14 °C to -24 °C.
We recommend a setting of -18 °C.
Use the freezer compartment:
- For storing deepĆfrozen food.
- To freeze food.
- To make ice cubes.
Note
Ensure that the freezer compartment
door is always closed. If the door is
open, the frozen food will thaw.
The freezer compartment will become
covered in thick ice. Also: Energy will
be lost due to high power
consumption.
When the freezer compartment door is
closed, a low pressure occurs, causing
a sucking noise. Wait two to three
minutes until the low pressure has
adjusted itself.
