Temperature setting buttons

The temperature is adjusted using the “C“ and “E“ buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display.

• The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (Temperature display is illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (Temperature display flashes) by pressing one of the two buttons, “C“ or “E“.

• Each time one of the two buttons is pressed again the DESIRED temperature is adjusted by 1 °C. The DESIRED temperature must be reached within 24 hours.

If neither button is pressed, the temperature display automatically switches back after a short period (approx. 5 sec.) to the display of the ACTUAL temperature.

DESIRED temperature means:

The temperature that has been selected for inside the freezer. The DESIRED temperature is indicated by flashing numbers.

ACTUAL temperature means:

The temperature display indicates the current temperature inside the freezer. The ACTUAL temperature is indicated with illuminated numbers.

Temperature display

The temperature display can indicate several pieces of information.

• During normal operation, the temperature currently present in the freezer (ACTUAL temperature) is displayed.

• When the temperature is being adjusted a flashing display indicates the freezer temperature currently set (DESIRED temperature).

Starting Up - Setting the Temperature

1. Plug the mains plug into the mains socket.

2. If the display is OFF, press ON/OFF button. The green mains pilot indicator illuminates. The alarm light flashes and the buzzer sounds.

3. Press the “I” button to stop the buzzer, the light still flashes since the temperatur is reached.

4. Press either the “C“ or “E“ button. The temperature display switches over and the DESIRED temperature currently set flashes on the temperature display.

2. The FROSTMATIC function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Alarm reset button

In the event of an abnormal temperature rise inside the freezer (e.g. power cut) warning light (H) will start to flash and a buzzer will sound.

After the temperature has returned to normal, the warning light (H) will continue to flash, although the buzzer has stopped.

When the alarm button is pressed, the warmest temperature reached in the compartment flashes on the indicator (max. 5 seconds). To stop the buzzer push the button “I”.

Switching the Appliance off

To switch off, hold down the ON/OFF button for approx. 3 seconds. This will result in a countdown from "3" to "1" taking place in the temperature display. On reaching "1" the fridge will switch off. The temperature display will go off.

Note:

The appliance cannot be switched on or off if unplugged, or if there is no power being supplied to it. Following connection to the mains power supply, the appliance returns to the same operating state as before the interruption of main power.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

1. Switch off the appliance, holding down the ON/OFF button until the display goes off (see above).

2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Maintenance”).

4. Finally, leave the doors open to avoid a build up of odours.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food.

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 free-

zing 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.

• 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 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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored 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.

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

1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen. 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 freezing of fresh food. The yellow light comes on.

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

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 bend 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 scraper supplied.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar

• The symbols on the drawers show

different types of frozen goods.

• The numbers indicate storage times

in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods.

Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Freezing and storing frozen food

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food.

Important!

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

before freezing food.

Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of

warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.

• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust 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.

• Only leave door open as long as 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.

• Always keep the heat emitting condenser, the metal grille on the rear wall

of your appliance, clean.

lead to the damage of plastic parts.

• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

Attention!

• Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. – lemon juice or the juice from orange peals; – butyric acid; – cleansers which contain acetic acid. Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleansers.

1. Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.

2.. Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

3. Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used.
