Freezing and storing frozen food

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder

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. The quality of the food is best preserved

when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

The food is too warm.

Interior lighting does not work.

Temperature is not properly adjusted.

Door was open for an extended period.

A large quantity of warm food was placed in the appliance within the last 24 hours.

The appliance is near a heat source.

Light bulb is defective.

Please look in the "Initial Start Up" section.

Open the door only as long as necessary.

Turn the temperature regulator to a colder setting.

Please look in the "Installation location" section.

Please look in the "Changing the Light Bulb" section.

• 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

Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.

1.To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quan- tity, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat setting.

2.Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer. Unfrozen food must not tou- ch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
