Note that the temperature will change depending on
the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening
and the amount of food in the appliance.
During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.

To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.

The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.

•
Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
•
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
“Cleaning and Maintenance”).
•
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
•
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-

•
24 hours before freezing we recommend turning
the temperature control to the highest power level
and to keep this setting even after freezing for a
few hours. The appliance is not compromised if
the setting will not revert to a normal operating
temperature after the freezing process, but for
economic reasons you should possibly avoid it.
•
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
•
Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
•
Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.

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,
