F r e e z e r c o m p a r t m e n
t
storing frozen food
■

■
freezing food
■
The temperature in the freezer
compartment depends on the
temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.
The freezer compartment can be used
to store perishable foods long-term
almost without any noticeable reduction
in quality as the low temperatures
considerably slow down or stop
deterioration. Appearance, flavour and
all 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
quantity and type of storage
■
Maximum freezing capacity
The maximum freezing capacity
indicates the quantity of food that can
be frozen solid within 24 hours.
Information about the maximum freezing
capacity can be found on the rating
plate.
