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.

FrozenĆfood calendar
The figures next to the symbols indicate
the permitted storage period of the proĆ
duce in months. When purchasing froĆ
zen produce, observe the date of maĆ
nufacture or sellĆby date.
Ice block
If a power failure or malfunction occurs,
the ice blocks can be used to slow
down the thawing process. The longest
storage time is obtained by placing the
ice block directly on the food in the top
compartment.
The ice blocks can also be used to cool
food temporarily, e.g. in a cold bag.
Freezing food
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only.
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen. To
prevent food from losing its flavour or
drying out, place in airtight containers.
