The freezer
compartment
For storing deep-frozen food

For freezing fresh food
Note:
– Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly. If the door
is open, the frozen food will thaw.
The freezer compartment will become
covered in thick ice.
– If the ambient temperature drops below
+16 °C, the refrigerating unit will switch
on less frequently. The freezer
compartment may then become too
warm. In an extreme case the frozen food
will thaw.
Freezing food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or
drying out, place in airtight containers.
How to wrap food correctly:
1. Place the food in the wrapping.
2. Press out all the air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label the wrapping with the contents
and date.
