24 hours before freezing we recom-
mend 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 compro-
mised if the setting will not revert to a
normal operating temperature after the
freezing process, but for economic rea-
sons you should possibly avoid it.
•
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as
possible to the core. During freezing
operation, the temperature 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.

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 packaging of
the merchandise.

•
Do not exceed the maximum freezing
capacity. See data under "EU Product

Do not store bottles or cans. These can
break when the contents freeze – or
even explode, if they contain carbonat-
ed 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.
•
Keep closed the unit door in case of
power failure. If the failure does not
take longer than 19

Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do
not eat ice cream directly from the
