Tips:
 The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
– plastic containers for frozen goods;
– extra–thick aluminium foil.
 The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
 Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for 
the frozen food to dry out.
 Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
 Do not fill plastic containers for frozen goods to the brim with liquid 
or paste–like goods, because liquids expand during freezing.
Frozen Storage
Important! Wait until the necessary storage temperature of –18 °C has 
been reached before storing food already frozen.
 Load the freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do 
not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamina-
tion of other frozen goods can occur.
 Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen 
goods.
2 Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. This 
will give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door 
opening and therefore save electricity.
3 From a food safety point of view, -18 °C is deemed sufficient as cold 
storage temperature.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
0 1.Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer and 
leave to freeze.
2.To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it 
under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer 
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a soft plastic 
scraper.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
(not on all models)
 The symbols on the drawers 
show different types of frozen 
goods.
 The numbers indicate storage 
times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether 
the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid 
depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. 
The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
Maximum Load
In order to load large quantities or bulky freezer items, you can remove 
the interior (except for the bottom drawer and the upper compartment 
lid, which serves for good ventilation) and place the freezer goods 
directly onto the storage grid.
However, when the drawers are removed, the stored items must not 
extend the load limit at the storage grid‘s front.

Hints and Tips
Normal Operating Sounds
 You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant 
is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling 
plate/evaporator. 
 When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round 
and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the com-
pressor.
 A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click 
when the thermostat cuts in and out.
 The ventilator generates air flow whereby noise can be emitted. 
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your freezer:
 Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
 Do not store food uncovered.
 Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your 
freezer as short as possible.
 Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate 
around each item.
2 Energy Saving Advice
 Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, 
dishwasher or radiator.
 Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure 
that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed.
 Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before 
placing in the freezer.
 Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the 
door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the 
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
 Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing 
properly.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT 
the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal Cleaning
0 1.Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of 
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly.
1 Warning! 
 Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly perfumed cleaning 
products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or 
alcohol.
2.Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they are clean 
and free from debris. 
External Cleaning
0 1.Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
1 Warning! 
 Do not use abrasive products
 There are sharp edges on the underside of the product  so care should 
be taken when cleaning.
2 Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. 
For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appli-
ance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.

Technical Terminology
Refrigerant
Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling effect are known as 
refrigerants. They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, 
that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can 
cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise.
Refrigerant Circuit
Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant. The refriger-
ant circuit comprises primarily of an evaporator, a compressor, a con-
denser and pipe work.
Evaporator
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Similar to all other 
liquids, refrigerant requires heat to evaporate. This heat is removed 
from the interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is cooled. 
The evaporator is therefore located inside the appliance or placed in 
foam immediately behind the inner wall and thus not visible.
Compressor
The compressor looks like a small drum. It is driven by a built-in elec-
tric motor and is mounted on the base of the appliance at the rear. 
The task of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refrigerant from 
the evaporator, to compress it, and to pass it on to the condenser.
Condenser
The condenser normally has the form of a grid. The refrigerant com-
pressed in the compressor is liquefied in the condenser. During this 
process, heat is released to the surrounding air at the surface of the 
condenser. The condenser is mounted on the base of the appliance.
