The location should be not too warm, dry, dust-free and well ventilated.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the refrigerating appliance.
The energy consumption will be lowest if all freezer drawers (9) are left inside the appliance when it is in use.
- If the freezer door (4) is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the compartments of the appliance 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 and therefore the appliance requires less energy.
Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is.
Ensure that the door seals are undamaged and that the door closes properly.
If the appliance 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.

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 (1) to position 6 hours before putting fresh food in the freezer. After putting fresh food in the freezer, set the temperature control (1) to position 2.5.
To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instructions:
If the freezer door (4) is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the compartments of the appliance to increase significantly.
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.
Do not exceed the storage times recommended by the food manufacturers. If no specification is given, food should 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.
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.
Fruit can be frozen in the freezer compartment and ice cubes can be made.
11.4. Using ice cube trays
Clean the ice cube tray (5) thoroughly with water and a little washing-up liquid before using for the first time.
Fill the tray with drinking water.
Place the ice cube tray (5) upright in the bottom freezer drawer (9).
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, remove the ice cube tray (5) from the freezer drawer (9) and press the ice cubes out of the mould.
11.5. Defrosting food
Depending on the type and use, food can be defrosted in a refrigerator, 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.
12. Cleaning and defrosting
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
There is a risk of electric shock from electrified parts.
Before starting any cleaning or defrosting work, make sure you briefly turn the temperature control (1) past position 1 to position. You will hear a click. The appliance switches off. Then pull the mains plug (8) out of the socket (do not pull on the cable, but on the mains plug (8)). If the plug is not accessible, the corresponding fuse for the mains electricity supply to the house needs to be switched off.
Do not touch the mains plug (8) with wet hands.
DANGER!
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND FIRE!
An accumulation of gas can lead to explosions.
- Do not use any flammable liquids to clean the appliance or appliance parts.
Do not use de-icer sprays. They may produce explosive gases.
SILVERCREST
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Risk of burns resulting from the low temperatures.
- Do not touch the freezer compartment's frozen inner walls or frozen foodstuffs with your hands. Use a dry cloth, for example, to hold the frozen products.
NOTICE!
Possible material damage!
Damage to the appliance due to improper handling of the sensitive surfaces of the appliance.
Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as the door seal can become porous and brittle.
- Never use acidic, abrasive or granular, acetic-acid-, soda- or solvent-based cleaning agents. These may damage the surfaces of your appliance.
- Do not use any other mechanical equipment or synthetic agents to accelerate the defrosting process, e.g. electric heaters, hot air blowers or hair-dryers or pointed or hard objects. The heat insulation and appliance interior are sensitive to scratches and heat and can melt.
- Do not operate any electrical appliances inside the appliance. Both appliances may be damaged irreparably.
- Set the temperature control (1) briefly past position 1 to position . You will hear a click. The appliance switches off.
Unplug the mains plug (8).
12.1. Defrosting the freezer
Thick deposits of ice on the freezer compartment surfaces reduce the efficiency of the appliance and increase the energy consumption.
Before defrosting the appliance, set the temperature control (1) to position 3 a few hours in advance. The frozen products can then be stored at room temperature for a longer period of time.
A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning can shorten the storage life of the frozen products.
It is advisable to defrost the appliance at least once a year.
Take the frozen product out of the freezer compartment, wrap in a few layers of paper and possibly a blanket and store it in a cool location.
Remove the freezer drawers (9) and glass shelves (2 / 3) from the freezer compartment.
After approx. 30 minutes the coating of frost on the smooth walls can be easily removed using the ice scraper (6).
12.2. Cleaning the appliance
Clean the freezer compartment with a mild cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid) and allow to dry.
Clean all fittings carefully with a mild cleaning agent (e.g. washing-up liquid). The components are dishwasher safe.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of glass breakage and cut injuries.
- Do not rinse the cold glass shelves (2/3) with hot water. Stresses can lead to glass breakage. Wait until the glass shelves (2/3) have warmed up to room temperature.
To prevent mould, vinegar (cleaning vinegar, household vinegar or vinegar essence) can be added to the water for cleaning. Cleaning agents containing sand, soda and acid are not suitable.
Clean the appliance surfaces, except the door seal, with a mild cleaning agent.
Clean the door seal with clean water, wipe it off and allow to dry.
- Once or twice a year, carefully vacuum the cooling ribs on the back of the appliance with a brush nozzle to ensure optimum air circulation around the cooling compressor. When vacuuming, take care not to damage the electrical cables and capillary tubes.
Switch the appliance on again according to the corresponding section in the user manual.
13. Measures in case of power failure
Food must not be refrozen, even if it has not fully defrosted.
In case of a power failure, check the condition of food before eating (see also "3.4. Use of the appliance" on page 38).
