Freezing
Except for the bottom drawer, which serves for storage purposes, all
compartments and drawers are suited for freezing.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or col-
der before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• When freezing large quantities of food, place the frozen cold accu-
mulation block at the front into the top compartment in the freezing
chamber.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
0 When freezing maximum capacity press the fast freeze button 24 hours
prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow indicator
light illuminates.
3 The fast freeze button need not be pressed for freezing of small quanti-
ties of up to 3 kg.
