Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
1 Approx. 24 hours before inserting fresh produce:
switch on fast freezing.
2 Take the container out of the freezer compartment
and stack the food directly on the shelves and on
the floor of the freezer compartment.
3 First fill the upper compartment with food. This is
where the food will freeze most quickly.
4 If the top compartment is inadequate, store the
remaining quantity in the compartment underneath
starting at the front right side.
5 Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side
panels.
