Tip: Store highly perishable food
such as fish, sausages and meat in
the coldest zone.
Warmest zone
The warmest zone is at the very top
of the door.
Tip: Store food that does not spoil
easily in the warmest zone, e.g. hard
cheese and butter. Cheese can then
continue to release its aroma and the
butter will still be easy to spread.
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-
term. The low temperatures slow
down or stop the spoilage.

¡ Store food in air-tight packaging.
¡ Do not bring food which is to be
frozen into contact with frozen
food.
¡ Place the food over the whole area
of the frozen food containers.
¡ To quickly and gently freeze larger
quantities of fresh food, place this
in the bottom frozen food con-
tainer.
¡ To ensure that the air can circulate
freely in the appliance, push the
frozen food containers in as far as
they will go.
11.4 Tips for freezing fresh
food
¡ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
¡ Freeze food in portions.
¡ Cooked food is more suitable than
food that can be eaten raw.
¡ Vegetables: Wash, chop up and
blanch before freezing.
¡ Fruit: Wash, pit and perhaps peel,
possibly add sugar or ascorbic
acid solution.
¡ Food that is suitable for freezing in-
cludes baked items, fish and sea-
food, meat, game, poultry, eggs
without shells, cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers.
