Freezer Freezer
Freezer Freezer
The freezer allows you to store frozen food at a temperature of -18°C or below (from a middle
temperature control setting) for several months, to produce ice cubes and to freeze fresh good.
The temperature of the device is automatically controlled by the temperature control in the fridge.
Due to external influences such as room temperature, placements, frequency of opening the door and
the amount of food the temperature in the freezer can be influenced.

• 24 hours before freezing we recommend turning the temperature control to the max. setting and to
keep this setting even after freezing for a few hours.
The device is not compromised if the setting will not revert to a normal operating temperature (tem-
perature control in middle setting) after the freezing process, but for economic reasons you should
possibly avoid it.
• Place fresh food to be frozen in the upper compartment. In order for that to be always possible,
frozen food items need to be rearranged frequently.
• Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. Therefore during freezing operation,
the temperature of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible in order to keep formation of
ice crystals as little as possible and not to damage the food structure.
• If the freezing process is too slow, ice crystals build up and the food quality might get affected.
• Even frozen food should be stored in the lower compartments, in order to keep the upper com-
partment available for fresh food.
• Frozen food should be kept in contact with the bottom of the compartment.
• Keep a space between the single items for air circulation.

• Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a 4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer's data. Make sure the food items do not defrost after purchase and to store them
as fast as possible in the freezer.
• It is possible to store food for longer periods of time, up to three months. This period might vary, so
please observe the storage information on the packaging of the merchandise.
NOTE: : : : NOTE NOTE NOTE
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18°C.
Moreover the device should be defrosted regularly. A thick layer of ice on the wall deteriorates the
cooling effect and the power consumption increases.
