food, icemaking.
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.
