2. When the ambient temperature is very high, it is recommended to set the
thermostat to a colder setting if needed. If the colder setting should cause strong
formation of encrusted ice, please select a lower setting.
3. High ambient temperatures and simultaneously operating at the coldest setting
may make the compressor operate permanently to keep the temperature
constant inside the appliance.
4. Defrost the appliance periodically as encrusted ice will decrease the power and
increase the energy consumption of the appliance.

Helpful hints/energy saving
Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room
temperature before you put it into your appliance.
Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You
can avoid these by wrapping them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting
them into an airtight bag or container.
Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.
Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in
a particular location in your appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a
loss of water and a mingling of odours.
Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into
your appliance. Otherwise the energy consumption will increase.
Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you
appliance.
Try opening the door as little as possible, especially when the weather is warm
and humid. If you open the door, close it as fast as possible.
Permanently check, that the appliance is well-ventilated. The appliance has to be
well-ventilated from all sides.
How to freeze food
1. Wrap fresh food you want to freeze in aluminium foil, cling film, air and water
tight plastic bags, polyethylene containers or other suitable plastic containers
with a lid.
2. Leave some free space between the single pieces of frozen food as proper air
circulation is required.
3. The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information
about the
maximum freezing capacity within 24 hours
in chapter technical data).
4. Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging
may indicate an interruption of the cold chain.
5. Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of
shopping and transport it in thermally insulated bags.
6. Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
