WFreezer compartment

storing frozen food
■
making ice cubes
■
freezing food
■
The temperature can be set from -11 °F (-
24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C).
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods long-term almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low
temperatures considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavor and all valuable
ingredients are largely retained.

compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:

■
type of food

■
of the freezer compartment.

Ensure the packaging is not damaged.
■
Check there is a sell-by date.
■
The temperature in the supermarket freezer must
■
be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower.
Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible,
■
transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in
the freezer compartment quickly.

Freeze large quantities of food in the top
■
compartment.
This is where it will freeze especially quickly and
gently.
