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...

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 flash if the
temperature becomes too warm. The
alarm indicator light flashes.
The temperature the appliance is set at
determines the temperature the
appliance recognises as being too
warm.

Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–in a microwave oven,
–in an oven using the Fan or
Defrost setting,

–in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep
other food cold),
–in a steam oven.

observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away
and wash the container it was in, the
sink and your hands. Danger of

In normal use, ice and frost will form in
the freezer section, e.g. on the internal
walls. How much ice and frost
accumulates in the appliance will
depend on the following factors:
–The appliance door has been
opened frequently or left open for a
while.
–A large quantity of fresh food has
been placed in the freezer at once.
–There has been an increase in the
humidity in the room.
Too thick a layer of ice will make it hard
to remove freezer drawers, and in
certain circumstances can prevent the
door from...
