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.
•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 cream2 to 6 months
Sausage, ham2 to 6 months
Bread, cakes and pastries2 to 6 months
Game, pork6 to 10 months
Fish, oily2 to 6 months
Fish, lean6 to 12 months
Cheese2 to 6 months
Poultry, beef6 to 12 months
Vegetables, fruit6 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).
