- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.
Notes on freezing
• Always store identical food items together.
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appropriate
to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through,
the following quantities should not be exceeded per pack age:
fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.
• In order to achieve fast freezing, food should be in contact with
the interior walls when it is placed in the freezer.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator

Equipment
Interior light (except model GT 1456)
The interior light switches on automatically when the lid is opened
and switches o again when it is closed.
Bulb data: 15 W (never use a
bulb rated at more than 15 W).
The voltage should agree with
the details on the type plate.
Bulb tting: E 14.
Replacing the bulb:
Disconnect from the mains
or switch o or unscrew
the fuse.
- Remove the cover panel in
the direction of the arrow.
- Change the bulb.
- Replace the cover panel.
Baskets
The baskets make it easier for you to sort food.
The baskets can be suspended in the
frame of the freezer by their handles.
Freezer tray
With the freezer tray, small frozen food items (berries, herbs,
chopped vegetables) can be
gently frozen.
Spread the frozen items out on
the freezer tray (pieces of fruit do
not stick together and so keep
their shape).
The freezer tray can either be
suspended on the basket or can
be slid into the interior container
and used as a partition.
The baskets can also be placed on
top of one another, by sitting the
upper basket on the handles that
are folded inwards.
Press the handle downwards, lift and
tilt inwards.
Lock
The lock is equipped with a safety
mechanism.
Locking the appliance:
1 Press the button and keep it de-
pressed.
2 Turn the key 90°.
Cold-storage accumulators (depending on options)
In the event of a power failure, the cold-storage accumulator delays
the temperature increase in the freezer compartment.
When switching on for the rst time, insert the accumulator in direct
contact with the interior container side walls and the interior container
oor so that it freezes quickly.
When the accumulator is completely frozen, position it at the
top of the interior container.
To do this, place the freezer tray
containing the accumulator in
one of the top baskets.
If the freezer tray continues to
be needed as a partition, place
the accumulator in the basket directly on top of the frozen goods.
12
Defrosting
After the appliance has been in operation for some time, a layer
of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy
consumption.
• Switch on SuperFrost the day before defrosting to give the food
a cold boost.
• Switch the appliance o to defrost. Pull out the mains plug.
• Wrap the frozen food, possibly still in the freezer basket, in paper
or blankets and store in a cool place.
• Remove the plug from the drain opening. Remove the dividing
wall or freezer tray and place underneath the appliance so that
the defrosted water escapes through the drain opening into the
divid ing wall or the freezer tray.
• Leave the lid open while defrosting. After defrosting mop up the
remaining water and clean the appliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other articial aids for
defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.

Malfunctions
Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a lengthy, reliable
operating life with no malfunctions. If a malfunction nonetheless
occurs during operation, check whether it is due to an operating
error. Please note that even during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in this case will have to be borne by the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
• Appliance does not function: the control lamps are not lit.
- Is the plug correctly tted in the mains socket?
- Is the fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
- Is the appliance set up rmly on the oor?
- Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
• The temperature is not low enough:
- Is the temperature setting correct (see Setting the temperature)?
- Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appliance? Observe the temperature display for a further 24 hours.
- Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
- Is the ventilation system working properly?
- Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?
If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the
fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department
stating the type designation ➊,
service number ➋ and appliance
number ➌ as indicated on the type
plate. The type plate is located
on the top of the right-hand side
wall of the freezer. Keep the lid
closed if there is a fault. This will
stop cold from escaping and the
temperature from rising.
Cleaning
Before cleaning always switch o the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or switch o or unscrew the fuse.
Clean the inside, equipment and outer walls with lukewarm water
and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or
chemical solvents.
