This symbol means that deep-frozen food can be kept for some months in this compartment.

The length of storage time depends on the type of food - see manu- facturer’s instructions.

However, small quantities of fresh foods can be frozen (see: “Freezing and storage”).

Tip: Food in the fridge should always be covered or packaged, to pre- vent drying and tainting of other food.

The following are suited for packaging:

–Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps;

–Plastic containers with lids;

–Special plastic covers with elastic;

–aluminium foil.

Freezing and storing frozen food

The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.

Important!

•The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or col- der before freezing food or storing food already frozen.

•Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24 hrs). The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

•Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
