Daily use

Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.

The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate, a label located on the inside of the appliance.

The freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food

When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting foodstuffs in the compartment let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Important! In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under "rising time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to use, can be thawed in the freezer compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, direct from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;

The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;

Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;

Wrap the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;

Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food - which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;

Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can cause the skin to be freeze burnt;

It is advisable to show the freezing date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tabs on the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

Ensure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the • foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;

Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary;

Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen;

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Care and cleaning

Cleaning

For hygiene reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

Caution! The appliance must not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can damage plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice from orange peel, butyric acid, cleaners that contain acetic acid.

Do not allow such substances to come into contact with the appliance parts.

Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

Remove foodstuffs from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.

Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

• Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
  After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with frost. This should be removed.

Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you could damage it. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:

pull out the plug from the socket;

remove all stored food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and put it in a cool place;

keep the door open, and place a basin underneath the appliance to collect the defrost water;

when defrosting is completed, dry the interior - thoroughly.

Replace the plug in the power socket to run the appliance again.

What to do if...

Caution! Before troubleshooting, disconnect the

power supply. Only a qualified electrician or

competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.

Important! There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation).

Problem Possible cause Solution
Appliance does not work	Appliance is not switched on. Switch on the appliance.
	Mains plug is not plugged in or is loose. Insert mains plug.
	Fuse has blown or is defective. Check fuse, replace if necessary.

	The appliance is near a heat source.	Please look in the installation location section.
Heavy build-up of frost on the door seal	Door seal is not air-tight.	Carefully warm the leaking sections of the door seal with a hair dryer (on a cool setting). At the same time shape the warmed door seal by hand so that it sits correctly.
Unusual noises	Appliance is not level. Re-adjust the feet.
	The appliance is touching the wall or other objects.	Move the appliance slightly.
