6.2 Freezer tray

You can freeze smaller quantities of food quickly on the freezer tray, e.g. berries, pieces of fruit, herbs and vegetables. Distribute the frozen items evenly on the freezer tray and leave to freeze for approx. 10 to 12 hours. Then place in a freezer bag or a freezer box.

6.3 Storage container

The temperatures in the storage container are lower than in the refrigerator compartment. Temperatures below 0 °C may occur occasionally. In order to reach temperatures close to 0 °C in the storage container, set the refrigerator compartment temperature from 2 °C to 4 °C and turn the temperature control to the storage setting ❄️.

Use the lower temperatures in the storage container to store highly perishable food, e.g. fish, meat and sausages.

6.4 Fruit and vegetable container

Store fresh fruit and vegetables loose in the fruit and vegetable container. Cover any chopped fruit and vegetables, or store in air-tight packaging.

Condensation may form in the fruit and vegetable container depending on the food and quantity stored. Remove the condensation with a dry cloth.

To ensure that the quality and aroma are retained, store fruit and vegetables that are sensitive to cold outside of the appliance at temperatures of approx. 8 °C to 12 °C, e.g. pineapple, bananas, citrus fruits, cucumbers, courgettes, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes.

6.5 Door tray

To adjust the door tray as required, you can remove the door tray and re-insert elsewhere. (See "Removing door tray", Page 22)

During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and spoil the frozen food.

• Do not refreeze food after it has been defrosted or started to defrost.
• Refreeze food only after cooking.
• These items should no longer be stored for the maximum storage period.

The temperature alarm can be switched on in the following cases:

• The appliance is switched on. Do not store any food until the appliance has reached the set temperature.
• Large quantities of fresh food are being placed inside. Switch on Super freezing before placing large quantities of food in the appliance.

10.1 Tips for storing food in the refrigerator compartment

• Only store food when fresh and undamaged.
• Store food covered or in air-tight packaging.
• To avoid impeding the circulation of air and to prevent food from freezing, do not place food so that it has direct contact with the back wall.
• Allow hot food and drinks to cool down first before placing in the appliance.
• Observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.

10.2 Chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones.

Coldest zone

The coldest zone is in the storage container.

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.

11.1 Freezing capacity

The freezing capacity indicates the quantity of food that can be frozen right through to the centre within a specific period of time. Information on freezing capacity can be found on the rating plate. (See "Appliance", Fig. 1/3, Page 12)

Prerequisites for freezing capacity

1. Approx. 24 hours before placing fresh food in the appliance, switch on Super freezing. (See "Switching on Super freezing", Page 17)
2. First, place the food on the freezer tray.

11.2 Fully utilising the freezer compartment volume

Learn how to store the maximum amount of frozen food in the freezer compartment.

1. Remove all fittings from the freezer compartment. (See Page 21)
2. Stack food directly on the floor of the freezer compartment.

11.3 Tips for storing food in the freezer compartment

• 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 freezer tray or the frozen food containers.
• 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 includes baked items, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, eggs without shells, cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers.

Food that is unsuitable for freezing includes lettuce, radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, raw apples and pears, yoghurt, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

11.5 Shelf life of frozen food at -18 °C

11.6 Defrosting methods for frozen food

❗ CAUTION – Risk of harm to health!

During the thawing process, bacteria may multiply and spoil the frozen food.

• Do not refreeze food after it has been defrosted or started to defrost.
• Refreeze food only after cooking.
• These items should no longer be stored for the maximum storage period.

• Defrost animal-based food, such as fish, meat, cheese, quark, in the refrigerator compartment.
