Press the “alarm” button 6 to switch off the warning signal.

Door alarm

The door alarm switches on if an appliance door is left open for longer than one minute. Close the door to switch off the warning signal.

Temperature alarm

The temperature alarm switches on if the freezer compartment is too warm and the frozen food is at risk of thawing.

“AL” flashes on the temperature display 1, and the “alarm” display 2 is lit.

When the alarm button 6 is pressed, the temperature display 1 indicates for five seconds the warmest temperature reached in the freezer compartment.

Then this value is deleted. “AL” is indicated on the temperature display 1 and the “alarm” display 2 is lit until the set temperature is reached. The temperature display 1 then indicates the set temperature.

Henceforth the “warmest temperature” will be redefined and stored.

The alarm may switch on without any risk to the frozen food:

■ when the appliance is switched on, ■ when large quantities of fresh food are placed in the appliance, ■ if the freezer compartment door is open too long.

Note

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. It can only be refrozen when it has been used to prepare a ready meal (boiled or fried).

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate.

Fully utilising the freezer volume

The maximum amount of food can be placed in the freezer by removing several fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the freezer shelves.

Note

To comply with the values indicated on the rating plate, the fittings at the very top and bottom should remain in the appliance.

Removing the fittings

■ Pull out the frozen food container all the way, lift at the front and remove. Fig. 4 ■ Open freezer compartment flap, hold one of the bearing pins and remove flap. Fig. 5 If appliances feature an ice maker, the latter can be taken out. Fig. 6 ■ The glass shelf, Fig. 1/11, can be taken out and inserted above the frozen food container 13.

Freezer compartment

Use the freezer compartment

■ To store deep-frozen food. ■ To make ice cubes. ■ To freeze food.

Note

Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly. If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate (see chapter "Customer service").

Freezing and storing food

Purchasing frozen food

■ Packaging must not be damaged. ■ Use by the “use by” date. ■ Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower. If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

Note when loading products

Freeze large quantities of food preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently. Place the food over the whole area of the compartments or in the frozen food container. Food which is already frozen must not come into contact with the food which is to be frozen. If required, move the frozen food to the frozen food container.

To ensure good air circulation in the appliance, insert the frozen food container all the way.

Do not cover the ventilation slots on the rear panel with frozen food!

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing. Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Literature on freezing and blanching can be found in bookshops.

Note

Keep food which is to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

The following foods are suitable for freezing: cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese, butter and quark, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts. The following foods are not suitable for freezing: types of vegetables which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.

  1. Place food in packaging.
  2. Remove air.
  3. Seal the wrapping.
  4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.

These products are available from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.

Items suitable for sealing packaged food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape, etc.

Bags and tubular film made of polyethylene can be sealed with a film heat sealer.

Shelf life of frozen food

Depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18°C:

■ Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries: up to 6 months ■ Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months ■ Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months

Super freezing

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour.

To prevent an undesirable temperature rise when placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing several hours beforehand.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 24 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment.

Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can be frozen without “super freezing”.

Note

When super freezing is switched on, increased operating noises may occur.

Switching on and off

Fig. 2

Press "super" button 5.

When super freezing is switched on, "SU" is indicated on the temperature display 1 and the super freezing display 3 is lit.

This appliance runs constantly and the freezer compartment drops to a very low temperature.
