• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food.
To ensure correct air circulation within the freezer during normal use, plea-
se do not take out the drawers.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
basket. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. When freezing fresh food, depress the ambient temperature switch (A) 24
hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat setting.
The pilot light will come on. At the end of the freezing process, do not for-
get to depress again the ambient switch in order to avoid an increase of the
power consumption.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Ice pack
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficiently if it is placed
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use
the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
