Switching the appliance on and off
You are recommended to clean the appliance before switching it on for the first time (see "Cleaning"). Switch the appliance on 4 hours before loading it with frozen food for the first time. Off: Using a coin, turn the arrow on the temperature control
1 to a setting between "1" und "6".
– The green ON-LED – The red warning-LED – The red warning-LED is unlit as soon as the freezer com
partment is cold enough (see "Red warning-LED").
To switch the appliance off: Turn the arrow on the tempera­ture control 1 to "0". The visual control-LED are unlit.

Setting the temperature
Setting "1" = lowest cooling setting, warm Setting "6" = highest cooling setting, cold
We recommend a medium setting.
If you are storing frozen food and wish to ensure that the
low freezing temperature is maintained, we recommend setting the temperature control to between "4" and "6".
• For long-term storage of frozen food a temperature of at least
-18°C is recommended. Remember that the temperature depends on the ambient temperature (location of appli­ance), the number of times the door is opened and how much frozen food is stored. The setting should be adjusted accordingly if necessary.
The red visual warning LED
The red alarm LED 3always lights up when the appliance is put into operation. A flashing alarm LED indicates temperature has risen too high. If the red warning-LED comes on during normal operation, check: – whether there has been a lengthy interruption to the power
supply; check the quality of the frozen food and prepare for
consumption if necessary, – whether the door is properly shut, – whether fresh food has recently been inserted.
If none of the above apply, consult your nearest customer service department as soon as possible, giving details of the
appliance designation, service number and appliance number .

Notes on freezing and storage
As a guideline for the storage time, the following applies to vari-
ous foodstuffs in the freezer compartment:
Ice cream 2 to 6 months
Sausage, ham 2 to 6 months
Bread, cakes and pastries 2 to 6 months
Game, pork 6 to 10 months
Fish, oily 2 to 6 months
Fish, lean 6 to 12 months
Cheese 2 to 6 months
Poultry, beef 6 to 12 months
Vegetables, fruit 6 to 12 months
• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appro priate to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right through, the following quantities should not be exeeded per package: fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2,5 kg.
• Blanch vegetables after washing and cutting them. (Add to boiling water for 2-3 minutes, remove and quickly cool down in cold water).
• Do not salt or season fresh food or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other food. The intensity of flavour of some spices can change.
• Suitable packaging materials are conventional freezer bags, reusable plastic, metal and aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into con tact 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 exeed 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; the cold given off by the frozen food is used
for cooling.
Solid cuts of meat and fish can be cooked when partly thawed. Vegetables can be cooked from frozen (in half the normal time).

Freezing, storage
Fresh food should be frozen to the core as rapidly as possible. This ensures that the nutritional value, appearance and flavour of the food remains intact.
The maximum amount of food wich can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the type plate ("Freezing capacity 4 ...kg/24 hours"). This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.
Freezing with Superfrost Fig. A
• Press Superfrost button 4 briefly, so that the LED lights up.
- The freezing temperature decreases, the appliance works with the greatest possible freezing capacity, at the same time the LED is lit.
• Then insert the fresh food.
• With a small amount of food to be frozen, wait/pre-freeze approx. 6 hours, with the maximum amount, see rating plate under freezing capacity, approx. 24 hours. Then the Superfrost function can be switched off manually.
- Superfrost switches off The freezing process is complete.
-
the Superfrost LED is unlit – the appliance works again in normal energy-saving mode of the last setting.
Note: You do not have to switch Superfrost on:
- when inserting food which is already frozen,
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg of fresh food per day.
automatically after approx. 60 hours.
Storage
When storing pre-frozen food, the freezer compartment can be filled straight away. It is not necessary to change the temperature setting.
Defrosting
After a longer period of operation a layer of frost or ice is build up on the walls. This will increase the energy con­sumption. Therefore defrost regularly.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug or set the temperature control to "0".
• Remove drawers and glass trays
Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool
place.
• To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot wa ter onto the bottom of the compartement.
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appli­ance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other artificial aids for defrosting other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

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 by checking the possible causes yourself:
• Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on? – Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket? – Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor? – 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 tempera
ture")?
– Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli
ance? 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.
