Features of the
appliance

food freezes particularly quickly and
gently. Lay the food over a wide area on
the floor and on the side panels of the
pre-freezing compartment.

of the appliance, remove or fold in the

figure ,.
Removable separating wall
Figure & (not on all models)
The separating wall prevents fresh food
that is to be frozen in the pre-freezing
compartment from coming into contact
with food that is already frozen in the
storage compartment.
If you pull out the separating wall and lay
it on the floor of the chest, small items of
frozen food (such as strawberries) can
be quickly and – above all – individually
frozen. When defrosting food, you can
place the separating wall under the
drainage channel to collect the defrosted
water.
