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.
0When 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.
3The fast freeze button need not be pressed for freezing of small quanti-
ties of up to 3 kg.
