the freezer compartment will drop to the lowest attainable

value. Thus food can be rapidly frozen to the core and

the quality is preserved.

Notes on freezing

• Always store identical food items together.

• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate

to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,

the following quantities should not be exceeded per package:

fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.

• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,

metal or aluminium containers.

• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact

with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid

them sticking together.

• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed

the stated storage time for the food.

• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks

as they might burst.

• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.

Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly

as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator

Freezing

The maximum amount of food

(in kg) which can be frozen in 24

hours is shown on the type plate

("Freezing capacity").

Saving energy

- Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation openings

or grille.

- Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers,

radiators and similar sources of heat.

- The energy consumption depends on the installation conditions,

e.g. the ambient temperature.

- Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.

- Store food logically.

- Keep all food properly packed and covered so as to avoid its

frosting up on the outside.

- Always allow hot food to cool to room temperature before placing

in the appliance.

- If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appli-

ance.

Accumulated dust increases the energy consumption:

- Once a year, dust the refrigeration unit together with the metal

grid of the heat exchanger at the back of the appliance.

Defrosting

After the appliance has been in operation for some time, a layer

of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy

consumption.
Caution!

Defrost the appliance as soon as the ice thickness is 5 mm.

Otherwise, the drawers cannot be opened and might become

damaged.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug.

• Remove the drawers and glass shelves.

• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool place.

• To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot water

on the compartment floor.

• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After

defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other

artificial aids for defrosting other than those

recommended by the manufactur er.
