The temperature can be set from –16 °C (3 °F) ...
–24 °C (–11 °F).
The freezer compartment can be used to store
perishable foods for long periods almost without any
noticeable reduction in quality, as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop deterioration. The
appearance, flavour and all the valuable ingredients are
largely retained.
The time between putting fresh food in the freezer
compartment and it freezing solid depends on the
following factors:
Set temperature
■
Type of food

Amount of food in the freezer compartment

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 larger quantities of food in the lower frozen
food containers.
This is where the food will freeze especially quickly
and gently.
Distribute food in the compartments or frozen food
containers.
Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact
with frozen food.
If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food
containers.
Important for unrestricted air circulation in the

push in frozen food containers up to the limit stop.
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar
or ascorbic acid solution.
