WARNING
Risk of explosion!
Never store products containing
flammable propellants (such as
spray cans) or explosive or easily
combustible substances in the
appliance.
The freezer compartment temperature
can be adjusted between 5 °F (−15 °C)
and −7 °F (−22 °C).
We recommend a setting of 0 °F
(−18 °C).
NOTICE
Make sure that the freezer
compartment drawer is always kept
closed. The frozen food will thaw if
the freezer compartment drawer is
open. The freezer compartment will
become covered with thick ice. Also:
Energy will be lost due to high power
consumption.
When the freezer compartment door
is closed, low pressure occurs inside
the compartment.
If you cannot reopen the freezer
compartment door right away, wait
two to three minutes until the low
pressure has adjusted itself.
Use the freezer
compartment to
− store deep−frozen food
− freeze food
− make and store ice cubes.

Freezing food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
Separate food to be frozen from food
that is already frozen. Place food in
airtight containers to prevent it from
losing its flavor or drying out.
How to wrap food
correctly:
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Press out any air.
3. Seal the packaging.
4. Label the package with the
contents and date.
Items not suitable for wrapping
food:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, garbage bags and used
shopping bags.
Items suitable for wrapping food:
Plastic film, polyethylene blown film,
aluminum foil and freezer cans.
These products can be purchased
from your retailer.
Items suitable for sealing wrapped
food:
Rubber bands, plastic clips, string,
cold−resistant adhesive tape or similar
items.
Bags and polyethylene blown film can
be sealed with a film sealer.
Storage life of frozen food
The storage life depends on the type
of food. At a temperature setting of
0 °F (−18 °C):
S Fish, sausage, ready meals and
cakes and pastries:
up to 6 months
S Cheese, poultry and meat:
up to 8 months
S Fruit and vegetables:
up to 12 months.
Purchasing and
storing deep−frozen
food
Follow these guidelines when
purchasing deep−frozen food:
S Make sure the packaging is not
damaged.
S Check the "sell by" date.
S The temperature of the
supermarket freezer should be
lower than 0 °F (−18 °C). If not, this
shortens the storage life of the
frozen food.
S Pick up deep−frozen food last when
shopping. Wrap in newspaper or
place in a cold bag and take home.
S At home, immediately place
deep−frozen food in the freezer
compartment. Use the deep−frozen
food before the "sell by" date.

Thawing frozen food

CAUTION
Risk of poisoning!
Do not refreeze food that is
beginning to thaw or has already
thawed. The food cannot be
refrozen until it has been prepared
(boiled or fried). Do not store
these refrozen products for the
maximum storage period.
Depending on the type of food and its
intended use, frozen food can be
thawed as follows:
S at room temperature
S in the refrigerator
S in an electric oven with/without
fan−assisted hot air
S in the microwave.
