Operation

Before getting started

• Read chapter „Safety“ on page EN-4, in particular the safety instructions.
• Set up and connect the appliance as described in chapter „Start-up“ on page EN-11.

Setting the temperature

CAUTION

Health hazard!

The appliance may not operate properly if the ambient temperature exceeds or falls below the specified temperature range for a prolonged period. This can then lead to an increase in temperature inside the appliance.

■ Always ensure the prescribed ambient temperature is maintained (see „Intended use“ on page EN-4).

You can set the temperature with the help of the temperature controller (1). The cooling power is variable and adjustable from "MIN" to "MAX". "MAX" is the lowest temperature.

The ideal temperature in the freezer compartment is -18^ . At the prescribed ambient temperature, the setting 'MED' will suffice if you do not open the door too often and always close it correctly. Otherwise the energy consumption and the temperature in the freezer may rise.

What you need to do

1. Insert the mains plug into an easily accessible socket (220–240 V\~/50 Hz 0,6 A).
   The appliance is then switched on. The compressor starts to work, the refrigerant flows through the pipes and a quiet humming sound can be heard.
   If the appliance is making unusual noises, check that it is stable and remove any objects that may be on top of it.

2. Set the temperature controller to "MED". If the ambient temperature changes, adapt the temperature setting, e.g. in the summer in the direction "MAX".

If you set a lower temperature, you will need higher cooling performance.

This increases the energy consumption.

Switch off/shutdown

If you do not want to use the empty freezer for an extended period, switch it off in the following way:

1. Pull the mains plug out of the socket to switch off the freezer.
   Notice: If you set the temperature controller (1) to "MIN", the freezer is not switched off.
2. Remove all food from the freezer and store it in a cool place so that the food does not spoil.
3. Remove the freezer baskets (2).
4. Clean the freezer.
5. Leave the door open slightly to avoid mould formation in the interior.
   You have now decommissioned the freezer.

Freezing foods / storing frozen foods

WARNING

Risk of explosion!

Improper handling of the appliance may lead to an explosion.

■ Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance, as they can form ignitable gas-air mixtures.

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Incorrect handling, insufficient cooling or overlapping items can spoil the stored food. This could lead to a risk of food poisoning when consumed.

■ Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
■ In particular, pack raw meat and fish carefully to ensure that adjacent food cannot be contaminated by salmonella or similar bacteria.
■ Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
■ Abide by the storage times recommended by food manufacturers.
■ Note that the shelf life of the frozen food may be shortened due to a rise in the temperature inside the appliance (from defrosting, cleaning or power failure).
■ If there is a power failure, the frozen food may remain sufficiently cold for some time. In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction of the appliance, remove the stored frozen food

from the appliance and store it in a sufficiently cool place or in another cooling appliance. The maximum storage time in the event of a fault is shown on the appliance's type plate.

■ After a malfunction, check whether the stored food is still edible. Consume thawed and defrosted foods immediately, do not refreeze.
■ If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance may result in injury. Risk of burns caused by low temperatures.

■ The food and the inside walls of the freezer have a very low temperature. Never touch them with wet hands. This can cause injury to the skin. Skin damage can occur even with dry skin.
■ Let ice cubes or ice lollies thaw a little before eating, do not put into your mouth straight from the freezer.

- Follow the instructions in this chapter to store your food for the longest possible time in the best possible way.

Freezing food

Freezing means reducing the core temperature of fresh, room-temperature food to frozen as quickly as possible – for best results "flash-frozen". If not cooled quickly enough, the food will be "killed by frost", i.e. the structure will be destroyed. A constant storage temperature of -18 ^ is needed to maintain

the food's consistency, taste and nutritional value.

Freezing food has a positive effect on its shelf life. This will also help you avoid food waste.

- Set the temperature in the freezer to -18^ and fill it in such a way that the temperature conditions inside are optimally utilised, guaranteeing optimal food storage: Place food to be frozen in the freezer.

Preparing the food

• Only freeze high quality food.
• Freeze fresh and prepared food dry and unseasoned. Unsalted foods are more durable.
• Allow prepared food to cool before freezing. This not only saves power, but also prevents excessive frost formation in the freezer.
• Carbonated drinks are not suitable for freezing because the carbon dioxide escapes during freezing.

Suitable packaging

Packaging is important when freezing. This will protect against oxidation, penetration by microbes, transfer of odours and flavourings and drying out (freezer burn).

• Only use packaging material that is strong, impermeable to air and liquid, not too stiff and labelled. It should be designated as suitable for freezer use.
• Use plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tapes to seal.

Portions

• Use flat portions as much as possible; these freeze through to the core faster.
• Expel the air from the freezer bag as this causes the contents to dry out and takes up space.
• Fill liquid containers no more than 34 full, because liquids expand when frozen.
• Do not store glass or metal containers containing liquids such as water, lemonade, beer, etc. Water expands when frozen and may burst the container.

Only high percentage alcohol (from 40 % volume) should be frozen; make sure that it is tightly sealed.

- Label the frozen food by type, quantity, amount and expiry date. Use waterproof marker pens or adhesive labels wherever possible.

How to pack the freezer properly

Freeze smaller quantities

Once the freezer temperature is -18^ , you can freeze fresh, room-temperature foods.

Freezing capacity

You can find information concerning the freezing capacity of your appliance on the type plate of your appliance.

- Adhere to the maximum freezing capacity wherever possible.

Up to the maximum indicated freezing capacity:

If you adhere to the maximum freezing capacity, the goods will freeze the quickest. The temperature in the freezer briefly rises after placing fresh goods inside. After another 12 hours, the goods are frozen to the core.

Above the maximum indicated freezing capacity:

If you want to freeze more food in one go as an exception, freezing will take longer. Keep fresh goods out of contact with existing frozen foods, as the frozen foods could start to defrost. If contact with stored food can not be avoided, we recommend that you create a cold reserve in the freezer before freezing the fresh goods.

Storing frozen food

The deep-freeze chain must not be broken between the manufacturer and your freezer. The temperature of the frozen food must always be at least -18^ .

Therefore,

• do not buy any goods that

– are in frosty, over-icy chests.
- are stacked above the stipulated high-load marker.
– partially clumped (particularly easy to identify with berries and vegetables).
– have snow and juice traces.

- Transport frozen foods in special styrofoam boxes or insulated bags.

- Observe the storage conditions and times on the packaging.

Defrosting food

- Observe the following basic rules when defrosting food:

• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer and let it defrost at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
  – Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen food is not immersed in its own thawing liquid.
• To defrost food quickly, use the defrost function on your microwave, for example. Observe the manufacturer's instructions and note that bacteria and germs can form in this way.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove the portion you need and immediately close the rest of the pack. In this way, you will avoid “freezer burn” and will reduce ice formation on the remaining foods.

Cook or use thawed foods as soon as possible. Dispose of the defrosting liquid.

Preparing ice cubes

CAUTION

Health hazard!

Consuming ice cubes which have been prepared using impure or standing water can damage health. Incorrect handling can lead to risks of causing food poisoning.

■ Use only potable water to make ice cubes.

• Fill an ice cube container to the 3 / 4 level with fresh drinking water and place it in the freezer compartment.
• The ice cubes are best removed by bending the ice cube container slightly or holding it under running water for a short while.

Care and maintenance

WARNING

Risk of electric shock!

Touching live parts may result in severe injury or death.

■ Before cleaning, unplug the mains plug from the socket or isolate/un-screw the fuse.
■ When pulling the mains plug out of the socket, always take hold of the mains plug itself and never pull the mains cable.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Danger to children and people with impaired physical, sensory or mental abilities!

■ Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

NOTICE

Risk of damage!

The surfaces and appliance parts can be damaged through improper handling.

■ Never use harsh, granular, soda, acid, solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. These attack the plastic surfaces. All-purpose cleaners with a neutral pH are recommended.
■ Door seals and plastic parts are -sensitive to oil and grease. Remove contaminants as quickly as possible.
■ Only use soft cloths.

Checking and cleaning door seals

The door seals must be checked regularly so that no air can enter the appliance.

1. To test them, clamp a thin piece of paper in various places between the door seal and frame of the appliance. The paper should be difficult to pull through at all points.
2. If the seal is not uniform everywhere: Warm the seal in the appropriate places carefully with a hair dryer and pull it out with your fingers.
3. Only clean dirty seals with clean water.

Cleaning the exterior

– Painted surfaces

Use only light pH-neutral soapy water.

Defrost and clean appliance

WARNING

Risk of explosion and injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to serious injuries and damage!

■ Never use defrosting sprays. They can generate explosive gases.
■ The thermal insulation of your appliance is made of sensitive insulating material. Therefore, do not use any electrical heating equipment, ice scrapers, knives, defrosting sprays, boiling water or any kind of aid with an naked flame, for example candles, to speed up the defrosting process. The thermal insulation and the interior are scratch and heat-sensitive and can melt.

WARNING

Health hazard!

An increase in the temperature of the frozen food during defrosting can shorten the shelf-life of the frozen food.

■ Ensure that the frozen food is kept sufficiently cool during defrosting.

CAUTION

Risk of injury!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to skin damage and injuries.

■ Never touch the inside walls or frozen food with wet hands. Injuries can also occur with dry hands though.
■ Use a dry towel to remove the frozen food.

NOTICE

Risk of damage!

Improper handling of the appliance can lead to property damage.

When cleaning, please note:

■ Defrost the appliance before it forms a layer of ice and frost of more than 5 mm. Excessive ice formation inside the appliance can break the door.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
■ Defrost the appliance in winter when the outside temperature is low. You can then store the food on a balcony

or similar while you are cleaning the appliance. Otherwise, you can wrap the frozen food thickly in newspaper and place it in another freezer in a cool room. You also have the option of using an insulated bag.

Moisture from food and ambient air forms frost on the inside of the appliance. At least once a year, remove ice and frost from the inner walls, at the latest when the layer of frost is approx. 4 mm thick. Otherwise the ice forms a layer of insulation, which impedes the cooling output and increases electricity consumption.

Preparation:

- Set the temperature controller (1) to "MAX" at least 3 hours before cleaning. This way, the frozen food retains a level of coldness and does not thaw so fast.

Defrosting:

1. Set the temperature controller to "MIN".
2. Disconnect the mains plug from the socket.
3. Remove the frozen food. Wrap it thickly in newspaper and place it in a cool room or in a fridge.
4. Remove the freezer baskets (2).
5. Place a bowl of hot but not boiling water in the freezer. This will accelerate the defrosting process.
6. Leave the door open while defrosting and place a floor cloth in front of the appliance to catch thaw water which may come out. The defrosting time depends on the thickness of the ice layer. Experience dictates that it is possible to start cleaning after approx. 1 hour.
7. Carefully scrape off any stubborn ice with a plastic ice scraper.
8. Wipe down the inside with warm water and washing-up liquid. When wiping clean, add a few drops of vinegar to the water to prevent mould from forming.

9. Only clean the door seals with clean water; they are sensitive to oil and fat.

10. Rub everything completely dry, including the door seals, and allow to air briefly.

11. Replace the freezer baskets in the freezer.
12. Place the frozen food back in the freezer.
13. Plug the mains plug back into the socket and turn the temperature controller to the "MAX" level.
14. As soon as a temperature of -18 ^ has been reached, turn the temperature controller back to the usual position.

Waste prevention, free return and disposal

Waste prevention

According to the provisions of Directive 2008/98/EC, waste prevention measures always take priority over waste management.

For electrical and electronic devices, waste prevention measures include extending the lifespan of defective devices through repair and reselling used working appliances instead of disposing of them.

Please help us reduce waste and contact our customer service if your product is faulty.

More information can be found in the brochure "Waste Prevention Programme – of the German Government with the Involvement of the Federal States".

Free return of old electrical appliances

Upon purchasing a new electrical appliance of the same type with essentially the same function, consumers may return an old electrical appliance to a distributor obliged to take back old appliances, at no extra cost for the consumers. This option also exists for deliveries made to a private household. For distance selling, the option of having old electrical equipment collected for free applies only in the case of purchase of new electrical equipment with heat exchangers (e.g. refrigerators, dehumidifiers), screens and display devices with a screen surface > 100 cm ^2 , and large devices with at least one of its external dimensions measuring more than 50 cm.

In addition, consumers may return up to three old electrical appliances of the same type to a distributor's collection point for free, without having to purchase a new electrical appliance. In this case, however, the old appliances' external dimensions may not exceed 25 cm.

Disposal

Disposing of old electrical devices in an environmentally friendly manner

Electrical appliances contain harmful substances as well as valuable resources.

Every consumer is therefore required by law to dispose of old elec-

trical appliances at an authorised collection or return point. They will thus be made available for environmentally-sound, resource-saving recycling.

You can dispose of old electrical appliances free of charge at your local recycling centre.

Please contact your dealer directly for more information about this topic.

Don't forget to erase data!

If necessary, each consumer is responsible for erasing personal data from electrical and electronic equipment.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries, lamps and bulbs

If necessary, old single-use and rechargeable batteries that are not encased by an old electrical appliance, as well as lamps/bulbs that can be removed from an old electrical appliance without being destroyed, must be removed and disposed of separately before you return the appliance.

This symbol means that batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed of with other household waste.

Consumers are required by law to bring all batteries and rechargeable batteries, regardless of whether they contain harmful substances*) or not, to a collection point oper-

ated by their communal authority or borough or to a retailer, so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and so that valuable resources (e.g. cobalt, nickel or copper) can be recovered.

Batteries and rechargeable batteries can be returned free of charge.

Some of the possible contents (e.g. mercury, cadmium and lead) are toxic and, if improperly disposed of, can have adverse effects on the environment. Heavy metals, for instance, can have detrimental health effects on humans, animals and plants and accumulate in the environment and food chain, and then enter the body indirectly through the consumption of food.

There is a high risk of fire with old lithium batteries. Special care must therefore be taken to properly dispose of old lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries. Improper disposal can also lead to internal and external short circuits due to thermal effects (heat) or mechanical damage. A short circuit can lead to a fire or an explosion and have serious consequences for people and the environment. It is therefore important to tape off the poles of lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries before disposing of them to prevent an external short circuit.

Before disposing of the appliance, batteries and rechargeable batteries which are not permanently built into the appliance must be removed and disposed of separately.

Please only dispose of batteries and rechargeable batteries in a discharged state!

If possible, use rechargeable batteries in place of disposable batteries.
