10. Operating the appliance

10.1. Switching the appliance on

Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket.

The local mains voltage must correspond to the technical specifications for the appliance.

10.2. Temperature control

The thermostat setting automatically adjusts the temperature in the freezer.

There is a choice of 3 basic settings on the thermostat; the temperature can also be set to any level between MIN and MAX:

MIN Lowest level of cooling(warmest)	Short-term storage of frozen products
NORMAL Intermediate position Medium-term storage of frozen products
MAX Highest level of cooling (coldest)	Long-term storage of frozen products

Before storing fresh foods, set the thermostat to MAX. After 2 hours, set to NORMAL, for example, depending on the intended storage period.

Check the temperatures in the freezer compartment with a thermometer. The ideal temperature and standard setting is -18 °C in the freezer compartment when set to NORMAL. Once the freezer temperature is reached, you can load it with food.

The internal temperatures can be influenced by factors such as the installation location, ambient temperature and the number of times the door is opened. Take these factors into account when setting the temperature.

10.3. Switching off the appliance

To de-energise the appliance, set the thermostatic control to MIN and pull the mains plug out of the socket.

▶ Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.

10.4. Tips on saving energy

The energy consumption will be lowest if the wire shelf is left inside the appliance when it is in use.

Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.).

▶ Ensure that air can circulate freely around the freezer.

▶ Only open the door briefly when loading and removing foodstuffs.

If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for only a short time; the appliance requires less energy and less ice is deposited on the freezer walls.

▶ Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is.

▶ Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before putting them in the freezer.

▶ Ensure that the door seal is undamaged and that the door closes properly.

If a layer of ice has formed, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will adversely affect the energy consumption.

If the freezer is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance.

10.5. Deep-freezing food

NOTICE!

Risk of damage to the appliance.

Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the surface can become porous and brittle.

■ Do not allow oil or grease to come into contact with the plastic parts.

Almost all types of food are suitable for freezing, except vegetables which are eaten raw, e.g. lettuce.

Only high-quality food is suitable to be frozen.

Freeze food in portions for single use and do not refreeze any products that have defrosted.

Set the temperature control to MAX 2 to 3 hours before putting fresh food in the freezer. After putting fresh food in the freezer, set the temperature control to NORMAL, for example, depending on the intended storage period (see "10.2. Temperature control" on page 56).

To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instructions:

If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the appliance zones to increase significantly.

SILVERCREST®

▶ Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems.
▶ Food to be frozen must not come into contact with food that has already been frozen. It may be necessary to reduce the quantity of food to be frozen if you intend to freeze food each day.
▶ Store food in the correct freezer zone according to its type and sensitivity, see Fig. A.
Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. If no specification is given, food is not to be stored for more than three months.
To avoid cross-contamination, place the food in odourless, airtight, moisture-free, greaseproof and leach-resistant packaging.

— Polythene bags and aluminium foil are the most suitable materials.
— The food must be closely wrapped in airtight packaging.
— Do not use glass packaging as the glass may break.

▶ Fruit can be frozen in the freezer compartment and ice cubes can be made.
Take care not to overload the freezer compartment as otherwise optimal performance cannot be guaranteed and energy consumption will increase.
▶ Signs of moisture or swelling of deep-freeze packaging indicates that the food has not been stored/transported correctly and may be spoiled. Check the condition of food before eating.

10.6. Using ice cube trays

▶ Clean the ice cube tray (not supplied) thoroughly before using for the first time.
▶ Fill the container with drinking water.
Place the ice cube tray upright in the lowermost freezer compartment.
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen and you require ice cubes, remove the ice cube tray from the freeze and press the ice cubes out of the mould.

10.6.1. Defrosting food

Depending on the type and use, food can be defrosted in the appliance, in a container filled with lukewarm water, in a microwave, at room temperature or in the oven. Fruit and vegetables which are going to be cooked do not need to be defrosted.

Once defrosted, food is preferably to be eaten on the same day or stored in the refrigerator until the next day at the latest. Food must not be refrozen, even if it has not fully defrosted.

11. Cleaning and defrosting

▶ Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible drain systems.

WARNING!

The warranty on this product is 3 years from the date of purchase. In the event of defects in this product, you have legal rights against the product vendor. These legal rights are in no way limited by the warranty described below.

19.1. Conditions of warranty

The warranty period begins on the date of purchase. Please take care to keep the original purchase receipt. This document will serve as a proof of purchase.

If, within three years of the date of purchase of this product, any defect in material or manufacture should become evident, the product will – as we choose – be repaired free of charge or replaced. This warranty is subject to presentation, within the three-year term, of the defective product and the proof of purchase (receipt) and a brief, written description of what constitutes the defect and when it became evident.

If the defect is covered by our warranty, you will receive back the repaired product or a new replacement. Repair or exchange of the product does not lead to a renewed warranty period.

19.2. Warranty period and legal claims for defects

The warranty period is not prolonged by the above fulfilment. This also applies for replaced and repaired parts. Any damage or defects present at the time of purchase must be notified immediately after unpacking. Repairs that are carried out after the expiration of the warranty period are subject to a charge.

The warranty applies for defects in materials or manufacture. This warranty does not extend to product parts that are subject to normal wear and can therefore be regarded as wearing parts or to damage to fragile parts, e.g. switches, batteries or parts made of glass.

This warranty is void if the product has been damaged or not properly used or serviced. For proper use of the product, exact compliance with all instructions listed in the user manual is required. It is essential to avoid procedures and use for purposes against which the user manual advises or warns.

The product is intended for private use only and not for industrial/commercial use. Improper handling and usage not in accordance with the intended purpose, use of force and any interventions that are not carried out by our authorised service centre will render the warranty null and void.
