Freezer compartment

Freezer compartment

The freezer compartment is suitable for:

▯

Storing frozen food

▯

Making ice cubes

▯

Freezing food

The temperature can be set anywhere between –24°C 
and –14°C.

The freezer compartment can be used to store 
perishable foods for long periods almost without any 
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures 
considerably slow down or stop deterioration. The 
appearance, flavour and all the valuable ingredients are 
largely retained.

The time between putting fresh food in the freezer 
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the 
following factors:

▯

Set temperature

▯

Type of food

▯

Amount of food in the freezer compartment

▯

Quantity and type of storage

Fill the lowest frozen food container with food first. 
This is where food will freeze most quickly.

If the lowest frozen food container does not have 
enough space, store the rest in the compartment 
above.

Fully utilising the freezer volume

To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the 
freezer compartment:

▯

Remove all fittings.

▯

Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor 
of the freezer compartment.

▯

Check the packaging is not damaged.

▯

Check there is a sell-by date.

▯

Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible, 
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the 
freezer compartment quickly.

When loading products, please note:

▯

Preferably freeze large quantities of food in the 
lowest frozen food container.

Food will freeze very quickly and gently here.

▯

Distribute food across the compartments or frozen 
food containers, leaving plenty of space.

▯

Do not bring food to be frozen into contact with 
food already frozen.

If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
