Energy Saving Tips

•Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera- tion of the compressor.

•Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.

•Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.

•Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.

•Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.

•Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

•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 freezer.

•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.

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 in the upper drawer. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

2.Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before introducing fresh food for free- zing. The yellow light comes on.

3.Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Ice pack

There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.

In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficiently if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags.

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 running water for a few seconds.

Important! 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.
