+2 °C ... +8 °C.

Freezer compartment en 13 Notes ■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8 °C - +12 °C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour. ■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth. W Freezer compartment Freezer compartment The freezer compartment is suitable for: ■ storing frozen food ■ making ice cubes ■ 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 which can be frozen solid within 24 hours. Information about the maximum freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. ~ "Getting to know your appliance" on page 8 To use the maximum freezer capacity, switch on the Super function 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer compartment. Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity

en Freezer compartment 14 Purchasing frozen food ■ Ensure the packaging is not damaged. ■ Do not exceed the minimum sell-by date. ■ The temperature in the supermarket freezer must be –18 °C or lower. ■ If possible, transport frozen food in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. Note when loading products ■ Freeze large quantities of food in the top compartment. This is where the food 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 container all the way. 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 raw. Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour: ■ 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 the 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 Not suitable for freezing ■ Types of vegetables which are usually eaten raw, e.g. lettuce or radishes ■ Unpeeled or hard boiled eggs ■ Grapes ■ Whole apples, pears and peaches ■ Yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, creme fraiche and mayonnaise Packing frozen food The correct type of packaging and material selection are decisive factors in the retention of the product quality and prevent the development of freezer burn.
