6.3. Sett ing up the appliance

NOTICE!

Possible material damage!

Risk of damage to the appliance due to improper handling

■ Install the freezer in a dry and ventilated room. The room should be around 4 m^2 , so there will be sufficient air volume available if the cooling system becomes damaged.
■ Take the space requirements into consideration when setting up the appliance:

To ensure adequate ventilation, a minimum clearance of 15 cm to the top, 5 cm to the sides and 7.5 cm to the back must be observed. To be able to open the freezer door (4) fully, the following room dimensions must be available (see Fig. 18).

■ The appliance is suitable for climate classes T and SN (see the type plate). The cooling performance of the appliance is guaranteed at ambient temperatures from 10^ C to 43^ C. If temperatures deviate from this range, the appliance performance may be reduced.
■ Do not expose the appliance to extreme conditions. Avoid:

– high humidity or wet conditions
- extremely high or low temperatures
- direct sunlight
- naked flames.

▶ Level the appliance by compensating for any unevenness in the floor by screwing in the appliance feet (7) accordingly (see Fig. 19).
▶ Level the freezer with a spirit level.

6.4. Removing and reinserting a drawer/ glass shelf

▶ To remove a drawer (9) or a glass shelf (2/3), open the freezer door (4) fully.
▶ Pull out the drawer (9) with both hands and remove the drawer (9) from the freezer compartment at a slight angle.
▶ To remove the large glass shelf (2), first open the freezer compartment with the flap (10).
▶ Lift the glass shelf (2/3) and remove it from the guide at a slight angle.
To reinsert the glass shelf (2/3), first place it in the rear guide at a slight angle and then carefully insert it in the front guide.
▶ To reinsert a drawer (9), slide the drawer (9) into the appliance at a slight angle.

7. Operating the appliance

Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. The local mains voltage must match the voltage stated in the technical specifications for the appliance.

The temperature control setting automatically adjusts the temperature in the freezer compartment.

There is a choice of 3 settings on the temperature control:

1	Lowest level of cooling (warmest)	Short-term storage of frozen products
2	Intermediate position Medium	medium-term storage of frozen products
3	Highest level of cooling (coldest)	Long-term storage of frozen products

▶ Before storing fresh foods, set the temperature control (1) to position 3.

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 control.

Audible noises such as cracking, humming or gurgling are caused by the expansion and shrinkage of the components as a result of the temperature changes or by the compressor working and do not indicate a malfunction.

▶ Check the temperatures in the freezer compartment with a thermometer. The ideal temperature in the freezer compartment is -18^ . Once this temperature is reached, you can load it with food and set the temperature control (1) back to 2.5.

After switching on for the first time, the appliance needs approx. 24 hours to reach this temperature.

7.1. Switching off the appliance

To switch off the appliance, briefly turn the temperature control (1) past position 1 to position ●. You will hear a click. Then pull the mains plug (8) out of the mains socket.
▶ Wait approx. 10 minutes before switching on the appliance again.

7.2. Tips on saving energy

In order to achieve the best possible cooling performance with low energy consumption, observe the following:

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

7.3. Deep-freezing food

WARNING!

Risk of explosion!

Flammable gases and liquids can cause explosions if stored in the appliance.

■ Do not store any explosive materials, e.g. aerosol containers containing propellant gas, in the appliance.
■ Do not freeze any carbonated beverages. Expanding liquid can break the container.
■ Do not store glass or metal containers filled with liquid in the freezer compartment.

WARNING!

Risk to health!

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 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 shatter.

■ 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.

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

Only fresh food is suitable for freezing. Portion the food for single use. Do not refreeze defrosted products.

▶ Set the temperature control (1) to position 36 hours before putting fresh food in the freezer. After putting fresh food in the freezer, set the temperature control (1) to position 2.5.

Fruit can be frozen in the freezer compartment and ice cubes can be made.

7.4. Using the ice cube tray

▶ 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) so that it is level in the bottom drawer (9).
As soon as the ice cubes are frozen, remove the ice cube tray (5) from the drawer (9) and press the ice cubes out of the mould.

7.5. 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.

8. 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)).

8.1. 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 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).

8.2. 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 dish-washer 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.

9. Measures in case of power failure

Food must not be refrozen, even if it has not fully defrosted.
