Freezing

The freezing area is marked with this symbol.

You can use the device for freezing fresh food as well as for storing pre-frozen food Please refer to the recommendations given on the packaging of your food.

Attention

Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the freezing liquid may burst the bottle.

Be careful with frozen products such as coloured ice-cubes.

Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance in 24 h. See Technical Features leaflet.

In order to maintain the quality of the food, the freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible. Thus, the freezing capacity will not be exceeded, and the temperature inside the freezer will not rise.

Attention

Keep the already deep-frozen food always separated with freshly placed food.

When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling compressor will work until the food is completely frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive cooling of the refrigeration compartment.

If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

Making ice cubes

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it in the freezer.

As soon as the water has turned into ice, you can take out the ice cubes.

Never use sharp objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk of injury!

Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short moment.

Defrosting of the device

Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing performance of your device.

It is therefore recommended that you defrost your device at least twice a year, or whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.

Defrost your device when there is only little or no food in it.

Take out the deep-frozen food. Wrap the deep- frozen food in several layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a cold place.

Unplug the device or shut off or remove the fuse to start the defrosting process.

Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer etc.) from the device and use a suitable container to collect the thawing water.

Use a sponge or a soft cloth to remove thawing water if necessary (Fig. 6).

Keep the door open during defrosting.

For quicker defrosting, place containers with warm water inside the device.

Never use electrical appliances, defrosting sprays or pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice.

After the defrosting is done, clean the inside (see the section “Cleaning and Care”).

Reconnect the device to the mains. Place the frozen food in the drawers and inside the freezer.
