•
Even frozen food should be stored in the lower compartments, in order to keep the upper com-
partment available for fresh food.
•
Frozen food should be kept in contact with the bottom of the compartment.
•
Keep a space between the single items for air circulation.
Storing frozen food
•
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
please observe the storage information on the packaging of the merchandise.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18°C.
Moreover the device should be defrosted regularly. A thick layer of ice on the wall deteriorates the
cooling effect and the power consumption increases.
Safety precautions
•
Do not store sizzling drinks in this device, such as mineral water, beer, sparkling wine, coke etc.
(risk of explosion).
•
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.
•
In case of power failure, do not open the door. If the failure does not take longer than 10 hours, the
food will not be affected.
•
Do not store bottles or cans. These can break when the contents freeze – or even explode, if they
contain carbonated drinks.
•
Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not allow children to eat ice cream directly from the freezer.
The cold can cause injuries in the oral cavity.
•
Touching metal parts inside the device can cause symptoms similar to burns if the skin is very sen-
sitive.
•
Do not touch frozen food with moist or wet hands; they could freeze to the items.
•
For safety reasons, the freezer compartments feature a stopper. But they can also be removed
completely by pulling them upwards and then removing them. Reattach in reverse order.
Defrosting
Because of automatically “NoFrost-System” the freezer keeps free from ice inside. The defrost proce-
dure isn´t necessary.
