Maximum capacity /
Stacking limit
To be able to store larger
quantities or bulky products for
freezing you can remove all the
storage baskets. The appliance
will still function safely if used in
this way.
Do not stack the products higher
than 5mm below the lower edge of the plastic frame.
Freezing
Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right
of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods
from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost
by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is
too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section
on the left of the dividing partition as long as it does not come into contact
with previously frozen food.
Attention!
Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or
colder.
Please observe the indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that
can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one
after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity
indicated on the rating plate.
