Important!
•
The temperature in the freezer compartment must be
–
18
°
C or col-
der before freezing food.
•
Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate.
•
Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will
cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
•
When freezing large quantities of food, place the frozen cold accu-
mulation block at the front into the top compartment in the freezing
chamber.
•
Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into
meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

prior to freezing, or 4 to 6 hours for smaller quantities. Yellow indicator
light illuminates.

The fast freeze button need not be pressed for freezing of small quanti-
ties of up to 3 kg.
