The temperature in the freezer compartment depends on the temperature in the refrigerator compartment.

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

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for ready meals, cakes and pastries, preserved food, condensed milk, hard cheese, fruit and vegetables sensitive to cold.

Note when loading products

Wrap or cover food before placing in the appliance. This will retain the aroma, colour and freshness of the food. In addition, flavours will not be transferred between foods and the plastic parts will not become discoloured.

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired.

Food or packaging could freeze

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator

compartment creates different chill zones:

m Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass

shelf situated below. Fig. EI Note

Store perishable food (e.g. fish,

sausage, meat) in the coldest zone. = Warmest zone is at the very top

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in

the warmest zone. Cheese can then

continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

The freezer compartment

Using the freezer compartment

mm To store deep-frozen food. m To make ice cubes. m To freeze small quantities of food.

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!

The freezer compartment door engages audibly.

Max. freezing capacity

Information about the max. freezing capacity within 24 hours can be found on the rating plate. Fig.

Freezing and storing food

Purchasing frozen food

m Packaging must not be damaged. # Use by the "use by” date.

= Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower.

= |f possible, transport deep-frozen food in a cool bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment.

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 Storage duration depends on the type of food.

At a temperature of -18 °C:

m Fish, sausage, ready meals and cakes and pastries:

m Cheese, poultry and meat: up to 8 months

m Vegetables and fruit: up to 12 months

Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible in order to retain vitamins, nutritional value, appearance and flavour. Several hours before placing fresh food in the freezer compartment, switch on super freezing to prevent an unwanted temperature rise.

If the max. freezing capacity is to be used, super freezing must be switched on for 6 hours before the fresh produce is placed in the freezer compartment. Smaller quantities of food can be frozen without super freezing.

During super freezing the refrigerator compartment becomes a little colder.

Switching on and off Fi. A Press “super” button 2.

If the super freezing has been switched on the button is lit.

Super freezing automatically switches off after approx. 112 days.

Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options:

m at room temperature

m inthe refrigerator

min an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air

Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.

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

You can reposition the shelves inside the appliance and the door shelves as required:

= Pull shelf forwards, lower and swing out to the side. Fig.

m Raise the door shelf and remove. Fig.

Special features (not all models)

4. Leave the appliance door open.

Refrigerator compartment defrosts fully automatically

While the refrigerating unit is running, beads of condensation or hoarfrost form at the back of the refrigerator compartment. This is quite normal. It is not necessary to wipe off the condensation or frost. The rear panel defrosts automatically. The condensation runs into the condensation channel,

Fig. Æ. and is conveyed to the refrigerating unit where it evaporates.

Keep the condensation channel and drainage hole clean, so that the condensation can run out.

The freezer compartment does not defrost automatically. A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption. Regularly defrost the freezer compartment.

Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. You could damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant may ignite or cause eye injuries.

Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the appliance, switch on super freezing so that the food drops to a very low temperature and can therefore be stored at room temperature for a longer period.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location. 2. Switch the appliance off.

3. Pull out the mains plug or remove the fuse.

4. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a trivet in the freezer compartment.

Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.

6. Wipe dry the freezer compartiment. Switch the appliance on again.

8. Put the frozen food back in the freezer compartiment.

N Cleaning the appliance À Caution

m Donotuse abrasive, chloride or acidic cleaning agents or solvents.

# Do not use scouring or abrasive sponges. The metallic surfaces could corrode.

m Never clean shelves and containers in the dishwasher. The parts may become deformedl!
