• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
• 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 tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges 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 contamina-
tion 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. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Index tabs are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents
of the individual drawers, press the index tab over the corresponding
symbol (see "Frozen Food Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This
will give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door
opening and therefore save electricity.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment 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
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scra-
per supplied.

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room.
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance
should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators or other sources of continuous
heat;
– only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corre-
sponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is desi-
gned.
The climate classification can be found on the rating plate, which is
located at the left on the inside of the appliance.
The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for
each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of
SN +10 to +32 °C
N+16 to +32 °C

Your appliance needs air

For safety reasons, minimum venti-
lation must be as shown Fig.
