2. The red warning light remains further on.
3. If the appliance reaches a temperature of at least -8 ^ C or 17 ^ F again, the warning light will go off and the temperature alarm will be quitted.

4.9 The freezer

WARNING! Do not eat food which is still frozen. Children should not eat ice-cream straight from the freezer. The coldness can cause injuries in the mouth.
⚠ WARNING! Contact with frozen food, ice and metal components in the freezer compartment can cause injuries similar to burns.
CAUTION! Do not put any bottled or canned beverages (neither still nor carbonated) into the freezer compartment of the appliance as their containers could explode.

The freezer is intended for long-term storage of food. Please observe the advice for max. storage time on the packaging of frozen food products. Do not refreeze defrosted food.

Protect fresh food you want to freeze using aluminium foil, cling film, air and water tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers or other suitable plastic containers with a lid.
Leave some free space between the single pieces of frozen food as proper air circulation is required.
The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information about the maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours in chapter TECHNICAL DATA).
Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging may indicate an interruption of the cold chain.
Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of shopping and transport it in thermally insulated bags.
Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
- Observe the complete information on the packaging of frozen food.

4.10 Helpful hints / energy saving

Do not line the drawers / shelves / baskets with aluminium foil, waxed paper or paper layers; otherwise optimum circulation of the cold air is impeded so the appliance cannot work at best performance.
✿ Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance.
◆ Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting them into an airtight bag or container.

Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.
- Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss of water and a mingling of odours.
Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance. Otherwise the energy consumption will increase and encrusted ice will be generated.
If you buy frozen food, the packaging must not be damaged and the product must be properly stored (sales container -18°C or lower).
Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you appliance.
How to defrost frozen food depends on your kitchen-equipment and the purpose, you want to use the frozen food for.

√ room temperature
√ in the cooling-compartment of your appliance
√ in an electrical oven8
√ in a microwave9

❖ Try opening the door as little as possible, especially when the weather is warm and humid. If you open the door, close it as fast as possible.

- Permanently check, that the appliance is well-ventilated. The appliance has to be well-ventilated from all sides.

4.11 Operational parameters

1. The appliance can only reach the relevant temperatures when:

the a ambient temperature meets the climatic class.
▶ the doors close properly.
➢ you do not open the doors too often or too long.
the door seals are in proper condition.
the appliance is properly positioned.
▶ you have not overfilled the appliance.
➢ you do not store warm or hot food in the appliance.

1. When the ambient temperature is very high, it is recommended to set the thermostat to a colder setting if needed. If the colder setting should cause strong formation of encrusted ice, please select a lower setting.

2. High ambient temperatures and simultaneously operating at the coldest setting may make the compressor operate permanently to keep the temperature constant inside the appliance.

3. Defrost the appliance periodically as encrusted ice will decrease the power and increase the energy consumption of the appliance.
