Freezer compartment
Freezer compart ment
The freezer compartment is suitable for:
▯ storing frozen food
▯ making ice cubes
▯ freezing food
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-24 °C)... +7 °F
(-14 °C).
Fully utilizing 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.
Purchasing frozen food
▯ Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
▯ Check there is a sell-by date.

with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
▯ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the

foods long-term almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality, as the low temperatures considerably slow
down or stop deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all
valuable ingredients are largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer compartment and it freezing solid depends on the following factors:
▯ temperature set
▯ type of food
▯ amount of food in the freezer compartment
▯ quantity and type of storage
