WFreezer compartment The Frezercompartment freezer compartment is suitable for: ■ storing frozen food ■ making ice cubes ■ freezing food The temperature can be set from -11 °F (24 °C)... +7 °F (-14 °C). 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, flavor 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: ■ temperature set ■ type of food ■ amount of food in the freezer compartment ■ quantity and type of storage Fully utilizing the freezer volume To place the maximum quantity of frozen food in the freezer compartment: ■ Remove all fittings. ■ Store food directly on the shelves and on the floor of the freezer compartment. Purchasing frozen food ■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged. ■ Check there is a sell-by date. ■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower. ■ Do not interrupt the freezing chain. If possible, transport frozen food in a cool bag and place in the freezer compartment quickly. Freezer compartment en-us When loading products ■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment. This is where it will freeze especially quickly and gently. ■ Distribute food in the compartments or frozen food containers. ■ Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact with frozen food. If required, restack frozen food in the frozen food containers. ■ Important for unrestricted air circulation in the appliance: push in frozen food containers up to the limit stop. Freezing fresh food Freeze only fresh and undamaged food. Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for freezing than food which is eaten raw. Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavor and color: ■ Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch. ■ Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add sugar or ascorbic acid solution. Information on how to do this can be found in relevant literature. Suitable for freezing ■ Baked goods ■ Fish and seafood ■ Meat ■ Poultry and game ■ Vegetables, fruit and herbs ■ Eggs without shells ■ Dairy products, e.g. cheese, butter and quark ■ Ready meals and leftovers, e.g. soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts 21
