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. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
• Ice cream or ice cubes can cause 'frost/freezer' burns if consumed straight
from the freezer.
Important!
Do not touch frozen food
with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food.
1.
Place the packed food in the drawers.
Place food to be frozen as shown in
figure. Unfrozen food must not tou-
ch items already frozen, otherwise
the frozen food could begin to
defrost.
2.
Press the Frostmatic button 24 hours
before introducing fresh food for
freezing. The yellow light comes on.
3.
Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it under

Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times
in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether
the upper or lower value of the
indicated storage time is valid
depends on the quality of the
foods and pre-treating before
freezing. The lower value applies to
foods with high fat content.
Defrosting
The freezer however, will become progressively covered with frost. This
should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided, whenever the
thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it is not neces-
sary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete
defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1.
Remove the frozen food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very
cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and pull
out the plug, or press the
“ON/OFF” button
3.
Leave the freezer compartment
door open.
4.
Insert the plastic scraper into the
recess provided under the defrost
water channel and place a collec-
ting basin under it.
5.
Once defrosting is completed keep the scraper for future use;
6.
Replace the plug in the power socket. Push the on/off button. The settings
