Storing frozen food
•
Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a
4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer’s data. Make sure the food
items do not defrost after purchase and to store
them as fast as possible in the freezer.
•
It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time, up to three months. This period might vary,
so observe the storage information on the pack-
aging of the merchandise.
General safety precautions
•
Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode, if
they contain carbonated drinks.
•
Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.
•
Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.
•
Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.
• Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.

Switching off
To switch off the appliance turn the temperature con-

If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
• Remove the appliance content.
•
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.
•
Defrost (model dependent) and clean the device
thoroughly (see ”Cleaning and Maintenance”).
•
Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for Energy saving
•
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply,
if it isn’t in use.
•
Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
•
Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
•
Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
•
Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
• Open the unit door only as necessary.
•
Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
•
The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.
Cleaning and Maintenance
WARNING:
•
Always disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before cleaning and user maintenance.
•
Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appli-
ance; moisture could enter electrical components.
Risk of electric shock! Hot steam could damage
the plastic parts.
• The unit must be dry before restarting operation.
CAUTION:
•
Do not use a wire brush or other sharp, abrasive
items.
