Lebensmittel verpacken
Die Waren portionsgerecht für Ihren Haushalt
abpacken.
Gemüse und Obst nicht schwerer als 1 kg,
Fleisch bis zu 2,5 kg portionieren. Kleinere
Portionen frieren schneller durch und die
Qualität bleibt beim Auftauen und
Zubereiten so am besten erhalten.
Die Lebensmittel luftdicht verpacken, damit
sie nicht ihren Geschmack verlieren oder
austrocknen.
Zum Verpacken geeignet sind:
Kunststoff-Folien, Schlauchfolien aus
Polyäthylen, Alu-Folien und Gefrierdosen.
Diese Produkte finden Sie im Fachhandel.
Ungeeignet sind:
Packpapier, Pergamentpapier, Cellophan,
Müllbeutel und gebrauchte Einkaufstüten.
Die Lebensmittel in die Verpackung ein-
legen. Luft völlig herausdrücken und
Packung dicht verschließen.
Zum Verschließen eignen sich:
Gummiringe, Kunststoffklipse, Bindfäden,
kältebeständige Klebebänder oder
ähnliches. Beutel und Schlauchfolien aus
Polyäthylen können mit einem
Folienschweißgerät verschweißt werden.
Vor dem Einlegen in den Gefrierraum den
Inhalt der Gefrierpakete kennzeichnen
und mit dem Einlegedatum versehen.Max. GefriervermögenLebensmittel sollen möglichst schnell bis
zum Kern durchgefroren werden. Nur so
bleiben Vitamine, Nährwerte, Aussehen und
Geschmack erhalten. Das max. Gefrier-
vermögen Ihres Gerätes deshalb nicht
überschreiten.
Folgende Mengen an Lebensmitteln können
innerhalb von 24 Stunden in der oberen
Gefriergutschale eingefroren werden:
Bei Geräten mit 70 cm Breite  max. 12 kg
Bei Geräten mit 60 cm Breite  max. 9 kg Bereits gefrorene Lebensmittel dürfen nicht
mit den frisch einzufrierenden Lebensmitteln
in Berührung kommen.
Heiße Speisen und Getränke vor dem
Einlegen in den Gefrierraum auf Zimmer-
temperatur abkühlen lassen.
Angaben über das max. Gefriervermögen
nach aktueller Norm finden Sie auf dem
Typchild (Bild F
).
Super-KühlenBevor Sie einkaufen gehen, sollten Sie 3-4

Das Gefriertablett eignet sich zum Auf-
bewahren der Eisschalen und zum einzelnen
Eingefrieren von Beeren, Obststücken,
Kräutern und Gemüse.
Zum einzelnen Eingefrieren Gefriergut auf
dem Gefriertablett gleichmäßig verteilen und
ca. 10 bis 12 Stunden durchfrieren lassen.
Danach in Gefrierbeutel oder Behälter um-
füllen.
Zum Auftauen Gefriergut wieder einzeln
nebeneinander ausbreiten.
Auftauen von GefriergutJe nach Art und Verwendungszweck kann
zwischen folgenden Möglichkeiten gewählt
werden:
Bei Raumtemperatur,
im Kühlschrank,
im elektrischen Backofen,
mit/ohne Heißluftventilator,
im Mikrowellengerät.
An- und aufgetautes Gefriergut kann erneut
eingefroren werden, wenn Fleisch und Fisch
nicht länger als einen Tag, anderes
Gefriergut nicht länger als drei Tage bei
Temperaturen unter +3 °C gelagert wurden.
Andernfalls, wenn Geschmack, Geruch und

Hinweise zu
Betriebsgeräuschen
BetriebsgeräuscheUm die gewählte Temperatur konstant zu
halten, schaltet Ihr Gerät von Zeit zu Zeit
den Kompressor ein.
Die dabei entstehenden Geräusche sind
funktionsbedingt.
Sie verringern sich automatisch, sobald das
Gerät die Betriebstemperatur erreicht hat.
Das Brummen kommt vom Motor
(Kompressor). Es kann kurzfristig etwas
lauter werden, wenn sich der Motor
einschaltet.
Das Blubbern, Gurgeln oder Surren kommt
vom Kältemittel, das durch die Rohre fließt.
Das Klicken ist immer dann zu hören, wenn
der Thermostat den Motor ein- oder
ausschaltet.
Knackgeräusche können auftreten,
wenn...
- die automatische Abtauung erfolgt
- sich das Gerät abkühlt bzw. erwärmt 
(Materialausdehnungen)
Bei einem Mehrzonen- oder Nofrost-Gerät
kann ein leises Rauschen von der
Luftströmung im Geräte-Innenraum
herrühren.
Sollten die funktionsbedingten Geräusche
zu laut sein, hat dies womöglich einfache
Ursachen, die sich vielfach ganz leicht
beheben lassen.
Das Gerät steht uneben
Bitte richten Sie das Gerät mit Hilfe einer
Wasserwaage eben ein. Verwenden Sie dazu
die Schraubfüße oder legen Sie etwas unter.
Das Gerät „steht an“
Bitte rücken Sie das Gerät von anstehenden
Möbeln oder Geräten weg.
Schubladen, Körbe oder Abstellflächen
wackeln oder klemmen
Prüfen Sie bitte die herausnehmbaren Teile
und setzen Sie sie eventuell neu ein.
Flaschen oder Gefäße berühren sich
Rücken Sie bitte die Flaschen oder Gefäße
leicht auseinander.
ReinigenVor dem Reinigen grundsätzlich
Netzstecker ziehen bzw. Sicherung

Installation
SitingA dry and adequately ventilated room is the
best location for installing the appliance. 
Remember that the appliance should not be
exposed to direct sunlight, nor should it be
close to a direct source of heat such as a
cooker, radiator, etc. Where installation close
to a heat source is unavoidable, ensure
that a suitable insulating panel is used or
maintain the following minimum clearances
between the appliance and the heat source:
3 cm clearance (electric cookers)
30 cm clearance (oil or coal-fired stoves).
If the appliance is placed next to another
refrigerator or freezer, keep a minimum 2 cm
clearance at the side in order to prevent
condensation.
The appliance must be stable and level. To
compensate for an uneven floor, use the two
height-adjustable feet at the front of the
appliance, Fig. G.
Two castors at the rear of the appliance
facilitate installation into a recess.Changing over door hingesProceed in numerical sequence (Fig. 
H).
Electrical connectionOnly connect appliances to a 220–240 V/ 
50 Hz a.c. supply by means of a safety
socket installed in accordance with 
regulations.
Make sure that the socket is protected by 
a 10 amp fuse or higher.
With appliances destined for non-European
countries, check the rating plate to make
sure that supply voltage and type of current
indicated coincide with the values of your
power supply. The rating plate is located at
the bottom left of the refrigerator. Figure F
.In the event that the mains cable needs to
be replaced, this must only be carried out by
a service technician of the manufacturer.
Warning! NEVER connect the appliance to
electronic energy saver plugs (e.g. Sava
plug) or to power inverters which convert
the direct current to 230 V alternating
current (e.g. solar equipment, power
supplies on ships).
VentilationFigure 3
The warm air generated at the back of
the appliance must be allowed to escape
unhindered. Otherwise the refrigerating
machine will have to work harder which in
turn increases energy consumption. For this
reason, never cover up the vents and grilles.After shipping ...Before switching on for the first time, allow
the appliance to set vertically for
approximately 1/2 hour.

Getting to know your applianceThe fully automatic NO FROST system
ensures that ice does form inside the
freezer section. There is no longer any
need for defrosting.
How it works:
The food is frozen by a flow of cold air.
The evaporator in the NO FROST system
cools the air inside the appliance. The cold
air is circulated by a fan. A second fan
provides for air circulation in the refrigerator
compartment.The moisture in the air
condenses on the evaporator which is
defrosted fully automatically whenever
necessary. 
The thawed water is directed to the
refrigerating unit where it evaporates. The
freezer section and the frozen food inside
are kept free from ice.

We recommend setting the temperature
of the refrigerator compartment at 4 
0C.
Note
The temperature in the refrigerator
compartment may fluctuate because:
– The appliance door is opened frequently
– Large quantities of fresh food are placed
in the refrigerator compartment and/or
freezer compartment
– The ambient temperature changes
– The temperature-selector setting for the
freezer compartment changes or
superfreeze has been activated.To prevent condensation in the area of
the door seal, the sides of the housing
are partially heated.

Food arrangement
Food arrangement
When loading the food,
note the following:Allow warm food and beverages to cool
down before storing inside the appliance.
Ensure that food is well wrapped or
covered before it is stored. This will pre-
vent food from dehydrating, deteriorating
in colour or losing in taste and will help
maintain freshness. It will also prevent
cross-flavouring. Vegetables, fruit and
salad need not be wrapped provided they
are stored in the vegetable bins of the 
refrigerator.
Never let any oil or grease come into
contact with plastic fittings or the door
seal as these materials easily become
porous.
Never store any explosive substances
inside the appliance. High-proof alcohol
should only be stored upright in tightly
sealed containers. 
Danger of explosion!
Glass bottles containing liquid that can
freeze should never be stored in the
freezer as the glass bursts when the
contents freeze.Example of food 
arrangementFig.

Pull the base of the compartment forwards,
the flap opens.
The temperature in this compartment is
lower than in the refrigerator compartment.
The temperature may therefore drop below 
0 °C. Ideal for storing fish, meat and
sausage.
But not suitable for lettuce, vegetables
and cold-sensitive produce.
* The small drawer can be taken out to
facilitate insertion and removal of food
(Figure 9,6

Freezing and storing
Note the following when
buying frozen foodInspect packaging: it should not be
damaged in any way.Make sure the “Best before ...” date has
not expired.Check thermometer of the vendors
freezer. It should read –18 °C or colder.Ensure that the frozen foods are the last
items to be bought. Wrap in several layers
of newspaper or place in a thermo-
insulated bag and take home at once.
Store frozen products in the freezer with-
out delay.Freezing at homeIf freezing at home, use only foodstuffs which
are absolutely fresh and in perfect condition. 
Foodstuffs that freeze well
Meat, cold slices and sausage, poultry and
game, fish, vegetables, aromatic herbs, fruit,
bread and pastries, pizza, precooked meals,
leftovers, egg yolks and whites.
Foodstuffs not suitable for freezing
Whole eggs in their shells, soured cream
and mayonnaise, lettuces, radishes,
horseradish and onions.
Blanching vegetables and fruit
It is advisable to blanch vegetables and fruit
before freezing in order to preserve colour,
flavour, aroma and vitamin C.
(To blanch, bring a large saucepan of water
to a fast boil and completely immerse fruit or
vegetables briefly. Most book stores offer a
wide selection of literature on freezing which
will also deal with blanching.)Wrapping foodPack the food in portions suitable for your
household.
Vegetable and fruit portions should be no
heavier than 1 kg, while meat portions can
 
						

							29en
28enbe up to 2.5 kg. Smaller portions freeze
through more quickly and the quality is
thereby maintained better when defrosting
and preparing the food.
It is important to seal food airtight before 
freezing to prevent it from losing its taste
or dehydrating.
Suitable wrapping materials:
plastic foil, polyethylene tubular film,
aluminium foil and freezing containers.
These items are available from any dealer.
Unsuitable wrapping materials:
wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cello-
phane, bin bags or used carrier bags.
Place food in the wrapping, press out any
air and seal it airtight.
Suitable sealing materials:
rubber bands, plastic clips, string, freezer
tape or similar. Polyethylene tubular film and
bags may be heat-sealed using a special
sealing iron or press.
Before placing in the freezer, each
package should be clearly labelled 
with the contents and date of freezing.Maximum freezing 
capacityFoodstuffs should be frozen right through 
as quickly as possible. Only in this way it
is possible to retain vitamins, nutrients, 
appearance and taste. You should therefore
never exceed your appliances maximum
freezing capacity.
Within 24 h a max 12 kg of food for 70 cm
and 9 kg for 60 cm width appliances, can 
be
frozen at once in the upper compartments.
Food that is already frozen should never
come into contact with fresh food about 
to be frozen.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool down 
to room temperature before placing in the
freezer.
Information about the max. freezing capacity
according to current standards can be found
on the rating plate (Fig. F).

Super cooling
If you are going to buy fresh food you should
switch on super cooling 3-4 hours before or
at the latest when placing fresh food in the
refrigerator. To switch on super cooling
simply press the super cooling button
(Fig. 2/2). Display SU (Fig. 2/4) and the
Super display (Fig. 2/5) indicate that
super cooling is on. Super cooling
reduces the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment for 6 hours. Then the
appliance automatically switches to the
temperature, which was selected prior to
super coolingFast freezingIf frozen food is already being stored in the
freezer, you should switch on fast freeze
several hours before putting in fresh food 
to freeze.
Normally, it will suffice to switch on fast
freeze 4–6 hours ahead. If you are planning
to make full use of maximum freezing 
capacity, switch on 24 hours in advance.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg) can
be frozen without the fast freeze facility. To
switch on super freeze, simply press the
super freeze button, Fig. 2
/10.
Display SU (Fig. 2
/7) and the Super
display (Fig. 2
/6) indicate that super
cooling is on. After switching on, a very low
temperature is achieved in the freezer
compartment. Fast-freezing switches off
automatically approximately 52 hoursafter
being switched on.Storage of foodMake sure that all the frozen goods
containers are pushed in as far as they will go.
This is important so that the air inside the
freezer can circulate properly.
Frozen food calendarFigure 
C
It is important not to exceed maximum
permissible storage times in order to avoid
impairing the quality of the frozen goods.
The actual storage time depends on the type
of food. The numbers next to the symbols
indicate the permissible storage time in
months. In the case of frozen goods
purchased from a shop, observe the
production date or ‘Best before …’ date.Freezer trayFig. 
D
The freezer tray is suitable for storing ice
cube trays and for freezing individual berries,
pieces of fruit, herbs and vegetables.
To freeze individual items of food, distribute
the produce uniformly on the freezer tray
and leave to freeze for approx. 10–12 hours.
Then transfer the produce into freezer bags
or containers.
To thaw, spread out the individual items of
food.Thawing frozen foodDepending on the nature of the food and 
the preparation or cooking method you are
going to employ, you may choose one of 
the following thawing methods:
at room temperature,
in the refrigerator,
in an electric oven, 
fan-assisted or not,
in the microwave oven.
Food that has been partially or completely
defrosted can be refrozen provided that
these items are stored at temperatures
below +3 °C and for no longer than one day
where meat and fish is involved, or no longer
than 3 days for other items.Otherwise, provided that taste, smell and
appearance remain unchanged, you can
boil, fry or process the food further into
a ready-made dish and then refreeze.
Observe that in this case the admissible
shelf-life will be shorter than normal.
Making ice-cubesFig. 
B
Fill the ice-cube tray three-quarters full with
water and place it in the freezer.
Twist the tray slightly to remove the ice-cubes.

30enCleaningBefore cleaning, you should always
unplug the appliance and/or switch off 
or disengage the household fuse.
Do not use a steam cleaner. The hot
steam could damage the surface of the
appliance or the electrical components 
– electric shock hazard!
Ensure that cleaning water does not get 
into the control panel or any of the lights.
Lukewarm water with a little mildly
disinfectant detergent such as washing-up
liquid is ideal for cleaning the entire
appliance, except the door seal. Never use
cleaning agents containing abrasives, acids,
chemical solvents or polishers.
Simply clean the door seal with clear water
and dry thoroughly afterwards.
If possible, the heat exchanger (black grid)
at the back of the appliance should be
cleaned with a brush or vacuum cleaner
every two years. This will maintain the full
efficiency of the appliance and helps to save
electricity. 
Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and never put it
near a direct source of heat (radiator, etc.).Never block any vents or grilles on the
appliance.Allow warm food to cool down before
placing in the appliance.Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures 
of the frozen products to cool food in the
refrigerator.Do not keep the door of the appliance
open for too long when loading or taking
out food. 
The shorter the time that the door is
opened, the less ice will form on the
freezer grids.Clean the heat exchanger (black grid) at
the back of the appliance every two years.Power saving tips
Information about
operating noises
Operating noisesIn order to maintain the pre-set temperature
at a constant level, the appliance compressor
switches on from time to time.
The noises that can be heard while it is
running are perfectly normal.
The noise reduces automatically when the
appliance reaches its operating temperature.
The humming noise is emitted by the motor
(compressor). When the motor switches ON,
the noise may briefly increase in volume.
The bubbling, gurgling or whirring noise is
emitted by the refrigerant as it flows through
the pipes.
The clicking noise can always be heard
when the thermostat switches ON/OFF the
motor.
Cracking noises may occur if ...
- the automatic defrosting is operating.
- the appliance is cooling down or 
warming up (material expansion).
A multi-zone or No-Frost appliance may
cause a low hissing noise emitted by the
air flow inside the appliance.
If these noises are excessively loud, the
causes are probably not serious and are
usually very easy to eliminate.
The appliance is not level
Please level the appliance with the aid of
a spirit level. Use the height-adjustable feet
or place packing under the feet.
The appliance is not free-standing
Please move the appliance away from
kitchen units or other appliances.
Drawers, baskets or shelves are loose or
stick
Please check the detachable components
and, if required, refit them.
