Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your appliance.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation!
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection / recycling
centre or contact your dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
Take care not to damage the pipework
at the back of it before or during
transportation to an authorised
collection depot.
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework
and oil in the compressor will be
contained and will not leak out into the
environment.

The correct temperature
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.
Setting the temperature
Use the two buttons underneath the
temperature display to set the
temperature for the freezer.

of these micro-organisms. Reducing
the temperature reduces their growth
rate.
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen

temperature rises above -10 °C, the
micro-organisms become active in the
food again so that it cannot be kept as
long. For this reason, partially defrosted
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
Food may be re-frozen once it has
been cooked, as the high temperatures
achieved when cooking destroy most
micro-organisms.
The temperature being set will flash in
the display.
When pressing the buttons, the
following information shows in the
display:
– When first pressed, the last
temperature selected flashes.
– Each subsequent press of the button
adjusts the temperature shown in
1 °C steps.
The temperature in the appliance will
rise:
– the more often the door is opened
and the longer it is kept open,
– Keeping the button pressed in
adjusts the temperature continually.
– if too much food is stored in it at
once,
Approx. 5 seconds after letting go of
the button, the current actual
temperature of the freezer section is
automatically shown.
– the warmer the food is which is being
put into it,
– the higher the ambient temperature
surrounding the appliance.
The appliance is designed for use in
specific ambient temperatures
(climate ranges). Do not use in
ambient temperatures for which it is
not designed.

The correct temperature
If you have adjusted the temperature,
wait for approx. 6 hours if the
appliance is not very full and for
approx. 24 hours if the appliance is
full before checking the temperature
display as it will take this long for the
display to give an accurate reading. If,
after this time, the temperature is still too
high or too low, you will need to adjust it
again.
This loss of coldness is no cause for
concern in the following circumstances:
– when the door has been left open for
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a
large amount of food,
– when fresh food is being frozen.
However, if the temperature in the
freezer section remains above -18 °C
for a long time, check that the frozen
food has not started to defrost. If it has
started thawing, check that the food is
safe to use and if it is, use it as quickly
as possible.
Temperature range
The temperature can be adjusted from:
-14 °C to -28 °C
The ambient temperature in the room
and the installation location can affect
the time it takes for the appliance to
reach the lowest temperature. If the
ambient temperature is too high, the
appliance may not reach the lowest
temperature.
Temperature display brightness
The appliance is supplied with the
brightness of the temperature display
set as low as possible. However, if the
door is opened, a setting changed or if
the alarm is sounding, the temperature
display will appear much brighter.
Temperature display
The level of brightness can be
adjusted:
During normal operation, the
temperature display on the control
panel shows the temperature in the
warmest part of the appliance.
If the temperature is not within the
range that the appliance is able to
display (below 0 °C), bars will flash in
the temperature display.
^ Press and hold the Super freeze
button for approx. 5 seconds.
The Super freeze indicator light flashes
and a ; flashes in the temperature
display.
The temperature display will flash if
– a different temperature is being set,
– the temperature in the appliance has
risen by several degrees, indicating
that the appliance is warming up too
much.

Freezing fresh food
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly
as possible. This way the nutritional
value of the food, its vitamin content,
appearance and taste are not impaired.
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as
possible.
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.
Food which takes a long time to freeze
will lose more water from its cells, which
then shrink.
During the defrosting process, only
some of this water is reabsorbed by the
cells; the rest collects around the food.
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have
less time to lose moisture, so they
shrink less. As there is not so much
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to
reabsorb it during the defrosting
process, and very little water collects
around the defrosted food.

Freezing and storing food
Home freezing
lightly before freezing, but care
should be taken as the taste of some
spices alters when frozen.
Only freeze fresh food which is in a
good condition.
– Do not place hot foods or drinks in
the freezer. This causes already
frozen food to thaw, and increases
the energy consumption
Hints on home freezing
– The following types of food are
suitable for freezing:
considerably. Allow hot foods and
drinks to cool down before placing
them in the freezer.
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy
products, pastry, leftovers, egg
yolks, egg whites and a range of
pre-cooked meals.
Packing
^ Freeze food in portions.
– The following types of food are not
suitable for freezing:
Unsuitable packing material
- wrapping paper
- grease-proof paper
- cellophane
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their
shells, onions, whole raw apples and
pears.
- bin bags
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,
vegetables should be blanched after
they have been trimmed and
washed.
- plastic carrier bags
Suitable packing material
- plastic freezer film
- freezer bags
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of
water to the boil, immerse the
vegetables in the fast boiling water
for 2-3 minutes, depending on
variety. Remove, and plunge into
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain
and pack ready for freezing.
- aluminium foil
- freezer containers
^ Expel as much air as possible from
bags etc. before sealing them, to
prevent freezer-burn on food.
^ Close the packaging tightly with
- rubber bands
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty
meat, and can be stored for
considerably longer.
- plastic clips
- string or bag ties
- freezer tape.
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or
rolled meat from freezing together in
solid blocks when packed, separate
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
Freezer bags may also be sealed
using home heat sealing kits.
– Do not season fresh foods or
blanched vegetables before
^ Make a note of the contents and the
date of freezing on the packaging.

Freezing and storing food
Before placing food in the freezer
Freezing large items
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of
fresh food, switch on the Super
freeze function for some time before
placing the food in the freezer (see
"Super freeze").
If you wish to freeze large items such
as a turkey or game, the glass cold
plates between the drawers can be
removed. To do this:
^ Remove the freezer drawers and
carefully lift and slide out the glass
cold plate.
This also helps to prevent food that is
already in the freezer from starting to
defrost.
The lowest freezer drawer must
always remain in the appliance.
Placing food in the freezer
Food to be frozen can be placed
anywhere in the freezer.
If you remove a freezer drawer make
sure that you do not block the
ventilation slits in the back wall of
the appliance. They are important
for trouble-free operation of the
appliance.
The top freezer drawer can be
loaded with a maximum of 15 kg of
food. The other drawers and the
cold plates can each hold 25 kg.
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of
the drawers or on the glass cold
plates so that it freezes through to the
core as quickly as possible.
Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time in
months which various foods can be
stored for effectively.
^ Make sure that the packaging and
containers are dry to prevent them
sticking together when frozen.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
When freezing, make sure that food
already frozen does not come into
contact with fresh food being frozen
as this could cause the frozen food
to begin to defrost.

left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Pork, veal, poultry
10-12 months:
Beef, fruit, vegetables
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
Ice cubes
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep
other food cold),
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water, and place it in the bottom of
one of the drawers.
– in a steam oven.
Poultry It is particularly important to
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
salmonella poisoning.
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
Fruit should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Cooling drinks
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.

Freezing and storing food
Freezer tray
Cool pack
The freezer tray is useful for freezing
small items such as berries and
vegetables. They can be frozen
individually and therefore maintain their
shape when defrosted.
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper
drawer directly on top of food, or in the
freezer tray to save space. The cool
pack will be at its most effective after it
has been in the freezer for approx. 24
hours.
If there is a power cut, place the cool
pack directly on top of the frozen food
in the top drawer so that the food will
be kept cold for as long as possible.
^ Space the food out loosely on the
tray.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
Leave the food for 10-12 hours to
freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it
to a freezer bag or suitable container
once frozen. Place the bag or container
in the freezer drawer.
The cool pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
a short period of time.

maintained between the appliance
casing and the front edge of the
housing unit side wall the door may
not shut properly.

unit at the top and bottom, screw the
long 4 x 20 mm chip board screws a
into the hinges at the top and bottom.
