Freezing and storing food
53
Place the food so that it is touching
the back of the drawer to help it
freeze through to the core as quickly
as possible.
– VarioRoom: freezing the maximum
amount of food (see data plate).
If there is insufficient air circulation in
the freezer zone, the cooling per-
formance will decrease and energy
consumption will increase.
Do not remove the lowest freezer
drawer from the refrigeration appli-
ance.
When placing food in the freezer,
make sure that the ventilation slots
are not blocked.
Tip:
If you wish to freeze large items of
food such as a turkey or game, you can
remove the individual freezer drawers to
increase the space above a drawer.
Distribute the food in all freezer drawers
apart from
the lowest freezer drawer.
Place the food so that it is touching
the back of the drawer to help it
freeze through to the core as quickly
as possible.

drawers and push them back in.
