When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow these guidelines:

▶ Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length of time you should store food

for. Do not exceed these guidelines!

▶ Try to keep the length of time between purchase and storage as short as possible to

preserve food quality.

▶ Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a temperature of –18 °C or below.

▶ Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the packaging – This indicates that the

products might have been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point – temper-

ature rises aect the quality of food.

Storage into the freezer compartment

▶ Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.

▶ 24 hours before freezing switch on the Super-freeze function; -for small quantities

of food 4-6 hours are sucient.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer com-

▶ Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook. The

recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg

▶ It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the pack-

aging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials should be

odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.

▶ In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date, time

limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage periods of dif-

▶ WARNING!: Acid, alkali and salt etc. could erode the internal surface of the freezer.

Do not place the food having these substances (e.g. sea sh) directly on the internal

surface. Salt water in the freezer should be cleaned up immediately.

▶ Do not exceed the food storage times recommended by the manufacturers. Only

take the required amount of food out of the freezer.

▶ Consume defrosted food quickly. Defrosted food cannot be re-frozen unless it is

rst cooked, otherwise it may bless edible.

▶ Do not load excessive quantities of fresh food in the freezer compartment. Refer

to the freezing capacity of the freezer – See TECHNICAL DATA or data at the type

▶ Food can be stored in the freezer at a temperature of at least -18°C for 2 to 12

months, depending on its properties (e.g., meat: 3-12 months, vegetables: 6-12

▶ When freezing fresh food, avoid bringing it in contact with already frozen food. Risk

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge. This way, you can use the frozen food to decrease

the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

Tips on storing fresh food

Storing into the refrigerator compartment

▶ Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.

▶ Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.

▶ Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing

▶ Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odour or taste alterations.

▶ Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow cold

air owing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.

▶ Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.

▶ Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air owing. In special way

don’t store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against rear wall. Avoid di-

rect contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as oil/acid can

erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.

▶ Defreeze frozen food in the fridge storage compartment. This way, you can use the

frozen food to decrease the temperature in the compartment and save energy.

▶ The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettes, melons, papaya, ba-

nana, pineapple, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is not advis-

able to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of strongly green fruits

can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger and other root vegeta-

bles should also be stored at room temperature.

▶ Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and clean-

ing is required. See CARE AND CLEANING.

▶ Dierent foods should be placed in dierent areas according to their properties:

Butter, cheese Upper door rack

Notice: When the appliance is switched on, it may take up to 12 hours for the correct tempera-tures to be reached. WARNING! Do not overload the drawers: Max. load of each drawer: 35 kg.!.20 21 Multi-air-ow The refrigerator is equipped with a multi-air-ow sys-tem, with which cool air ows are located on every shelf level. This helps to maintain a uniform temperature to ensure that your food is kept fresher for longer. My-Zone box For the use and setting of the My Zone box, please check section USE (My- Zone box)

M Y Z O N E Fruit and vegetable box with automatic humid-

ity control Fruits and vegetables will remain fresh for a longer time if they are stored in this compartment with automati-cally humidity control. The fruit and vegetable box cover is equipped with an ecological plant membrane with respiratory function. If the humidity increases due to respiration of fresh vegetables, the structure of the membrane opens and allows excess moisture to escape to the outside air. If the vegetable/fruit loses too much water, the mem-brane prevents water evaporation. So fruits and veg-etables box humidity can be maintained at optimum humidity of 90%. Adjustable shelves The height of the shelves can be adjusted to t your storage needs.1. To relocate a shelf, remove it rst by uplifting its hind edge (1) and pulling it out (2). 2. To reinstall it, put it on the lugs on both sides and push it to the most rearward position until the rear of the shelf is xed inside the slots in the sides Removable door racks The door racks can be removed for cleaning: Place hands on each side of the rack, lift it upwards (1)and pull it out (2). In order to insert the door rack, the above steps are carried out in reverse order. 1

OPTIONAL: OK-temperature indicator The OK-temperature indicator can be used to deter-mine temperatures below +4°C. Gradually reduce the temperature if the sign does not indicate “OK”. 3D-freezer drawer

▶ Take the appliance out of the packaging.

▶ Remove all packaging materials.

Environmental conditions

The room temperature should always be between 10° C and 43° C, since it can inuence

the temperature inside the appliance and its energy consumption. Do not install the appli-

ance near other heat-emitting appliances (ovens, refrigerators) without isolation.

(Only model A3FE742CMJ,C3FE744CMJ and C3FE744CWJ)

Before the appliance is permanently installed, check the correct position of the door

hinge. If necessary see section the DOOR REVERSIBILITY.

Required space when door is opened:

▶ The appliance is heavy. Always handle with at least two persons.

▶ Keep all packaging materials out of children´s reach and dispose them in an environ-

mentally friendly manner.

Ventilaton cross-section

To achieve sucient ventilation of the appliance for

safety reasons, the information of the required venti-

lation cross sections must be observed. 200 mm100 mm100 mm 28 29

In the event of a power cut, food should remain safely cold for about 16 hours. Follow these

tips during a prolonged power interruption, especially in summer:

▶ Open the door/drawer as few times as possible.

▶ Do not put additional food into the appliance during a power interruption.

▶ If prior notice of a power interruption is given and the interruption duration is longer

than 16 hours, make some ice and put it in a container in the top of the refrigerator

▶ An inspection of the goods is required immediately after the interruption.

▶ As temperature in the refrigerator will rise during a power interruption or other fail-

ure, the storage period and edible quality of food will be reduced. Any food that de-

frosts should be either consumed, or cooked and refrozen (where suitable) soon

afterwards in order to prevent health risks.

Waiting time To the maintenance-free lubrication oil is located in the capsule of the compressor. This oil can get through the closed pipe system during slanting transport. Be-fore connecting the appliance to the power supply you have to wait 2 hours so that the oil runs back into the capsule.

Aigning the appliance The appliance should be placed on a at and solid sur-face. 1. Tilt the appliance slightly backwards.2. Set the feet to the desired level. Make sure the distance to the wall on the hinge side is at least 100 mm for the door to open properly. 3. The stability can be checked by alternately bump-ing on the diagonals. The slightly swaying should be the same in both directions. Otherwise the frame can warp; possible leaking door seals are the result. A low tendency to the rear facilitates the closing of the door.max 45°1. 2. 3.
