It is very important to set the correct
temperature for storing food in the
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause
food which is not stored at the correct
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.
Temperature influences the growth rate
of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen
food for a long time, a temperature of
-18 °Cis required. At this temperature
the growth of micro-organisms is
generally halted. As soon as the
temperature rises...

Temperature display
The temperature display inside the door
shows whether the temperature inside
the appliance is cold enough. This
works independently of the electricity
supply.
A temperature above -18 °C is no
cause for concern in the following
circumstances:
–when the appliance has just been
switched on,
–when the door has been left open for
a short while, e.g. for removing or
storing a large amount of food,
– when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature remains
above -18 °C for a long...

Your appliance has been fitted with a
warning system which ensures that the
temperature in the freezer cannot rise
unnoticed. An alarm will sound and the
alarm indicator light will come on if the
temperature becomes too warm.The
setting on the temperature dial
determines the range of temperatures
the appliance recognises as too warm.
The alarm always sounds and the alarm
indicator light always comes on if the
appliance is too warm because:
–the appliance has just been switched
on.
– the freezer door has...

quickly as possible, the maximum
freezing capacity must not be
exceeded. Up to 12 kg of food can be
frozen at the same time on the
evaporator plates. When freezing food
in the drawers, the maximum quantity is
slightly less.

date of freezing on the packaging.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer. Large
quantities can be placed directly on the
evaporator plates to freeze the food
quickly. To do this first take out one or
several freezer drawers.
Do not place food beyond the level
marked (A) as this will hinder air
circulation within the appliance.
^
Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the evaporator
plates so that it freezes...

Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Ice cubes
Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water and place it on the bottom of one
of the drawers.
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for
example a spoon handle, to remove the
ice tray from the freezer.
