							21
DESIRED temperature means: 
The temperature that has been selected for inside the freezer. The DESIRED
temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.
ACTUAL temperature means: 
The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer.
The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.
Temperature display
The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.
During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer
(ACTUAL temperature) is displayed. 
When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the
freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature). 
Starting Up - Setting the Temperature
1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket. 
2. Press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The alarm
light flashes since the temperature is reached. The buzzer sounds.
3. Pressing button “P” the buzzer stops.
4. Press either the „J“ or „L“ button. The temperature display switches over and
the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.
5. Set the required temperature by pressing the „J“ or „L“ buttons (see section
Temperature setting buttons). The temperature display will immediately
show the changed setting. Each time the button is pressed the temperatu-
re is adjusted by 1 °C.
From a food safety point of view -18 °C should be considered sufficiently
cold for storing food in the freezer.
6. The alarm light,when the set temperature is reached. Press the alarm but-
ton to turn off the buzzer.
Ice packs
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in
the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the
ice pack for cooling cold bags.
 
						

							22
FROSTMATIC
The FROSTMATIC function accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the
same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming.
1. The FROSTMATIC function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC but-
ton. The yellow light illuminates.
If the FROSTMATIC function is not ended manually, the appliance switch off
the FROSTMATIC function after 48 hours. The yellow light goes out.
2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing
the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.
Alarm reset button
In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power
cut) warning light (O) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.
After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (O) will
continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.
When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the
compartment flashes on the indicator.
Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 5 seconds. This will
result in a countdown from 3 to 1 taking place in the temperature
display. On reaching 1 the fridge will switch off. The temperature display
will go off.
Note:
The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no
power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power sup-
ply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the inter-
ruption of main power.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display
goes off (see above).
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see
section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).
4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.

Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
 The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
 Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The free-
zing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a
row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the
rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
 Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
 Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
 Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
 Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
 Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
Caution!Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
compartment. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen,
otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. 
2. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible. 
 
						

							24
Freezing Calendar
 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.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.  Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment 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 com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Defrosting
The fridge defrosts automatically
Defrosting of the fridge compartment is automatic. The water that
forms flows into a recipient on the compressor and evaporates. This
recipient cannot be removed.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whe-
never the tickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not
necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. 
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of new-
spaper and put it in a very cool place.
2. Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew the
safety fuses.
3. Leave the freezer compartment door open.
 
						

							25
Cleaning and Care

recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collecting
basin under it.
5. Once defrosting is completed keep
the scraper for future use;
6. Switch on the appliance or replace
the plug in the power socket.
Warning!
Never use metal tools to scrape off
the frost 
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may shor-
ten their safe storage life.

this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once
a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
6.After everything is dryreconnect the appliance to the electricity sup-
ply.
The lowest shelf, dividing the cooler compartment from the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment can be removed for cleaning. To
remove pull out the shelf straight.
The cover plates above the drawers in the 0°C compartment can be
taken out for cleaning. To make sure fully functionality of the
LONGFRESH 0°C compartment the cover must be put back in their
original position after cleaning.
Energy Saving Tips
 Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion of the compressor.
 Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at
the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
 Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
 Only leave door open as long as necessary.
 Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
 Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will
then be used to cool the fridge.
 Keep the heat emitting condenser, the metall grille on the rear wall of
your appliance, always clean.
