STORING FROZEN FOOD

Your￿freezer￿is￿suitable￿for￿the￿long-term￿storage￿of￿commercially￿frozen￿foods￿and￿also￿can be￿used￿to￿freeze￿and￿store￿fresh￿food. If￿there￿is￿a￿power￿failure,￿do￿not￿open￿the￿door.￿Frozen￿food￿should￿not￿be￿affected￿if￿the failure￿lasts￿for￿less￿than￿16￿hrs.￿If￿the￿failure￿is￿longer,￿then￿the￿food￿should￿be￿checked and￿either￿eaten￿immediately￿or￿cooked￿and￿then￿re-frozen.

FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Please￿observe￿the￿following￿instructions￿to￿obtain￿the￿best￿results. Do￿not￿freeze￿too￿large￿a￿quantity￿at￿any￿one￿time. The￿quality￿of￿the￿food￿is￿best￿preserved when￿it￿is￿frozen￿right￿through￿to￿the￿core￿as￿quickly￿as￿possible. Do￿not￿exceed￿the￿freezing￿capacity￿of￿your￿appliance￿in￿24￿h. Placing￿warm￿food￿into￿the￿freezer￿compartment￿causes￿the￿refrigeration￿machine￿to operate￿continously￿until￿the￿food￿is￿frozen￿solid. This￿can￿temporarily￿lead￿to￿excessive cooling￿of￿the￿refrigeration￿compartment. When￿freezing￿fresh￿food,￿keep￿the￿setting￿knob￿at￿medium￿position.￿Small￿quantities￿of food￿up￿to￿1/2￿kg.￿(1￿lb)￿can￿be￿frozen￿without￿adjusting￿the￿temperature￿control￿knob. Take￿special￿care￿not￿to￿mix￿already￿frozen￿food￿and￿fresh￿food.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill￿the￿ice￿-￿cube￿tray￿3/4￿full￿with￿water￿and￿place￿it￿in￿the￿Ice￿Bank.￿Loosen￿frozen￿trays with￿the￿handle￿of￿a￿spoon,￿never￿use￿sharp￿edged￿objects￿such￿as￿knives,￿forks.￿Store￿ice- cubes￿in￿the￿Ice￿Bank.

Note: If￿freshly￿made￿ice￿cubes￿are￿not￿consumed￿for￿several￿weeks￿and￿stored￿in￿Ice Bank,￿they￿will￿slowly￿reduce￿in￿size￿and￿eventually￿disappear￿completely.

DEFROSTING

A)￿Fridge￿compartment The￿fridge￿compartment￿defrosts￿automatically. The defrost￿water￿runs￿to￿the￿drain￿tube￿via￿a￿collection container￿at￿the￿back￿of￿the￿appliance. During￿defrosting,￿water￿droplets￿may￿form￿at￿the back￿of￿the￿fridge￿compartment￿where￿a￿concealed evaporator￿is￿located.￿Some￿droplets￿may￿remain￿on the￿liner￿and￿refreeze￿when￿defrosting￿is￿completed. Do￿not￿use￿pointed￿or￿sharp-edged￿objects￿such￿as knives￿or￿forks￿to￿remove￿the￿droplets￿￿which￿have refrozen.

If,￿at￿any￿time,￿the￿defrost￿water￿does￿not￿drain￿from

the￿collection￿channel,￿check￿that￿no￿food￿particles have￿blocked￿the￿drain￿tube. The￿drain￿tube￿can￿be cleared￿with￿a￿pipe-cleaner￿or Pushing￿the￿special￿plastic￿plunger￿provided down￿the￿drain￿tube￿(2). Check￿that￿the￿tube￿is￿permanently￿placed￿with￿its end￿￿in￿the￿collecting￿tray￿on￿the￿compressor￿to prevent￿the￿water￿spilling.￿If￿the￿frost￿layer reaches￿about￿1/4''￿(7￿mm),￿reduce￿the￿setting (i.e.￿from￿4￿to￿1)￿￿to￿restart￿automatic￿defrosting.
