Freezing
Except for the bottom drawer, which serves only for storage purposes,
all compartments and drawers in the freezer compartment are suitable
for freezing fresh food.
Warning!
• Before foods are frozen, the actual temperature in the freezer
compartment must be -18 °C or colder.
• Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods
that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several
days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the
capacity indicated on the rating plate.
• When freezing large quantities of food, place the frozen accumula-
tion block at the front into the top drawer in the freezing compart-
ment.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

For freezing the maximum capacity press the FROSTMATIC button 24
hours prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow
indicator lights up.

The FROSTMATIC button need not be pressed for freezing of small
quantities of up to 3 kg.
2.
All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution!
Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze
to the goods.
3.
Place packaged goods in the drawers. Unfrozen goods may not come
into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods
may start to thaw.

The appliance electronics automatically switch the FROSTMATIC func-
tion off after a period of approx. 50 hours. The yellow indicator light
goes out. You can also stop the FROSTMATIC function manually by
pressing the FROSTMATIC button again.
