The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not

u

operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.

WARNING

Risk of fire due to short circuit! If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations, leading to a short circuit.

Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors

u

or main cables. Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located

u

near the rear of the appliance.

WARNING

Fire hazard due to refrigerant! The refrigerant R 600a is environmentally friendly but flammable. Escaping refrigerant may ignite.

Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.

u

WARNING

Fire hazard and danger of damage!

u

that the appliance is properly ventilated!

NOTICE

Risk of damage due to condensate! If your appliance is not a Side-by-Side (SBS) appliance:

do not install the appliance directly alongside a further refrig-

u

erator/freezer.

In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the

q

supplier immediately before connecting to the mains. The floor at the site must be flat and level.

q

Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed

q

to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and similar. The ideal installation site is a dry, well ventilated room.

5.8 SuperFrost

With this function you can freeze fresh food quickly through to the core. The appliance operates with maximum refrigeration. The noise of the refrigeration unit may be temporarily louder as a result.

The maximum amount of fresh food which can be frozen in 24 h is indicated on the type plate under “freezing capacity ... kg/ 24h”. This amount varies according to the model and climate rating.

You have to activate SuperFrost in good time, depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen: about 6 hours before placing the food inside in case of small amounts and about 24 hours in advance in case of the maximum amount of food to be frozen.

Wrap produce and spread it out as far as possible. Do not allow produce to be frozen to touch produce that is already frozen to prevent the latter thawing.

You do not have to activate SuperFrost in the following cases:

when placing frozen food in the freezer

-

when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily

-

5.10 Shelves

To remove the shelf: lift up at the front

u

and pull out. To put the shelf back: simply push in as

u

far as it will go.

5.11 VarioSpace

Apart from being able to remove the drawers, you can also remove the shelves, creating space for large items of frozen food. Poultry, meat, large pieces of game and high bakery products can be frozen in one piece and prepared.

The maximum load of frozen food

u

for the drawers is 25 kg each and for the shelves 35 kg each.

5.13 Drawer for herbs and berries

In the drawer for herbs and berries you can freeze, berries, herbs, vegetables and other small items of food without them sticking together. Items being frozen will largely retain their shape, and it will be easier to remove exactly the right quantity later on.

5.13.1 Using the special drawer for herbs and berries

Spread the items out loosely

u

in the special drawer for herbs and berries. Allow the food to freeze

u

through for 10 to 12 h. Transfer the frozen food to

u

freezer bags or containers. Store freezer bags or containers in a drawer.

u

To thaw the items, spead them out loosely again.

u

5.14 Cold storage accumulators

The cold storage accumulators prevent the temperature from rising too fast in the event of power failure.

To store frozen food directly on the shelves: pull the drawer

u

forwards and lift it out.
