Startup / Operation

Prior to first use

CAUTION:

After transport, the appliance should be left standing upright for about 4 hours before connecting to the power supply. Nonobservance could lead to malfunction of the cooling system and causes an appliance breakdown.

Clean the appliance interior including all accessory parts. Consider the instructions which we provide in the chapter "Cleaning and Maintenance".

Starting the appliance

• Connect the appliance to the power supply.
• Operate the temperature control. See also the following section "Settings".

Settings

NOTE:

Due to external influences such as ambient temperature, frequency of door opening and appliance assembly, the temperature can be affected.

Setting [] means that the appliance is in the off state. Turn the temperature control clockwise, starting from this setting; the appliance will turn on automatically.

The power levels [1 - 4] regulates the different values of the internal temperature.

Setting

Off state

Setting 1

Lowest setting

(warmest inside

temperature)

Setting 4

Highest setting

(coldest inside

temperature)

During initial operation, turn the temperature control to the highest setting first, until the appliance has reached the desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the temperature control back to a medium setting.

Storing food

NOTE: Recommendation!

To guarantee that the temperature is low enough, you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before loading for the first time.

CAUTION:

Always pay attention to the storage instructions on the sales packaging.
- Store food only well packaged in the appliance.

Freezer

The freezer allows you to store frozen food at a temperature of -18^ or colder for several months; to produce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.

If necessary, the freezing drawers can be taken off. Pull the respective drawer until it stops, lift it slightly and take it out to the front. In reverse order, the drawers should be inserted again.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18^ . For this, the appliance should be defrosted regularly, see "Defrosting".

Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. During the freezing process, the temperature needs to be reduced as quickly as possible so that the formation of ice crystals keeps low and the food structure is not damaged. Before freezing fresh

food, the temperature control should be set on the highest setting first.

Place the food broadly; it should be kept in direct contact with the freezing bottom, if possible.

Do not overfill the freezers, so that air can circulate.

Storing frozen food

Packed frozen food should be stored in a 4-Star Freezer in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure that the goods do not defrost after shopping; store them as fast as possible in the freezer compartment.

You have the possibility of a long-term storage, i.e. up to three months. However, this period may vary, note always the recommended storage times on the sales packaging.

General safety precautions

• Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity. See data under "Technical Data" and on the rating label.
• Do not store bottles or cans. These can break when the contents freeze – or even explode, if they contain carbonated drinks.
• Once products has been defrosted halfway or completely, they should be consumed as soon as possible and not refreeze. Only when you have processed the product (cooking, roasting), you can freeze it again.
• Do not open the door in case of power failure. If the failure does not take longer than 20 hours, the food will not be affected.
• Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice cream directly from the freezer. The cold can cause injuries in the oral cavity.
• Touching metal parts inside the appliance can cause symptoms similar to burns if the skin is very sensitive.
• Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.
