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!
Purchasing frozen food

■ 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.

Freezing and storing
food
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.
Storing frozen food
To ensure good air circulation
in the appliance, insert the freezer
drawers all the way.
If you have to store lots of food,
it is possible to transfer the food
to the glass shelves and stack
it on the base of the freezer base. To do
this, remove all the freezer drawers.
Pull out the freezer drawers all the way,
lift at the front and remove. Fig.
Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
