11 Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food, freeze
food and make ice cubes in the

freezer compartment.

The temperature can be set from
−16 °C to −24 °C.
Long-term storage of food should be
at –18 °C or lower.
The freezer compartment can be
used to store perishable food long-

down or stop the spoilage.
