m WARNING

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT

Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigeration products are still dangerous... even if they will sit for “just a few days”. If you are getting rid of your old appliance, please follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.

Before you throw away your old refrigeration product:

– Take off the doors. – Leave the shelves in place so that

children may not easily climb inside.

Freezing and storing

Store the frozen produce

CAUTION

Do not refreeze frozen food which is thawing or which has thawed. Boil or fry the food before refreezing it.

No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.

When purchasing deep-frozen food, comply with the following:

– Check whether the packaging is

damaged. – Check the sell-by date. – The temperature of the super-

market freezer must be lower

than 0 °F (–18 °C). If not, the

storage life of the food is reduced. – Purchase deep-frozen food last.

Wrap in newspaper or place in

a cold bag and take home. – At home immediately place deep-

frozen food in the freezer

compartment. Use the deep-

frozen food before the sell-by

date runs out.

Freezing food yourself

Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers. Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible.

How to wrap food correctly

 Place the food in the wrapping.  Press out all the air.  Seal the wrapping.  Label the wrapping with the

contents and date.

The following products are not suitable for wrapping food:

Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, refuse bags and used shopping bags.

The following products are suitable for wrapping food:

Plastic film, polyethylene blown film, aluminium foil and freezer tins. These products can be purchased from your dealer.

The following products are suitable for sealing the wrapped food:

Rubber bands, plastic clips, string, cold-resistant adhesive tape or similar.

Bags and polyethylene blown film can be sealed with a film sealer.

Thawing the frozen food

Depending on the type and purpose of the food, thaw:

– at room temperature, – in the refrigerator, – in an electric oven, with/without

hot air fan,

– in the microwave oven.

Switching off the ice

IceMaker

As soon as the freezer has cooled down to freezing temperature, the ice cube tray fills with water. Cold air is blown directly over the tray.

As soon as they are frozen, the ice cubes fall into the ice cube container.

When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically.

The ice maker can make approx. 100 ice cubes within 24 hours.

CAUTION

Do not place any bottles or food for rapid cooling in the ice cube container. The ice maker may become blocked and be damaged.

Switching on the ice maker

 Make sure that the ice cube

container is under the ice maker

and has been inserted as far as

possible.

 Press the ICE button on the

control panel (if not yet switched

on).

maker

The water supply line must be shut off several hours before the appliance or ice maker is switched off.

To switch off the ice maker:

 Press the ICE button.

Do the ice cubes have an unusual odor?

Ice is a porous material which can absorb odors from the environment. Ice cubes which have been in the ice cube container for a long time may absorb such odors, stick together and slowly become smaller.

We recommend that these ice cubes are no longer used.

Other means of preventing odors: – The ice cube container should be

cleaned occasionally with warm water. Make sure that you switch off the ice maker before cleaning the container. Rinse out and wipe dry.

– Check the contents of the freezer

for spoilt or out-of-date food. All odorous foods should be wrapped thoroughly or stored in airtight containers to prevent the build-up of odors.

– The water filter may have to

be replaced in some models.

– In some cases the quality of the

water connection in the house should be checked.

Operating noises

Quite normal noises

Grumbling – refrigerating unit is

running. Fan in the recirculating air system is running.

Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises – refrigerant is flowing

through the tubes. Water is flowing into the ice maker.

Clicking – motor is switching on or off. Solenoid valve on the water connection is opening/closing.

Rumbling – ice cubes are falling into the ice cube container.

Noises which can easily be eliminated

The appliance is not level

Level the appliance with the aid of a spirit level.

Use the height-adjustable feet or piace something underneath.

Drawers, baskets or storage areas wobble or stick

Check the removable parts and, if required, reinsert them.

Receptacles are touching each other

Move bottles or receptacles away from each other.

How to save energy

– Install the appliance in a dry,

ventilated room; do not expose

to direct sunlight and do not

place near a heat source

(e.g. radiator, cooker).

If required, use an insulating plate. – Allow warm food and drinks to

cool down before placing them

in the appliance. – Defrost frozen food by placing

it in the refrigerator. The low

temperature of the frozen food will

refrigerate the food in the

refrigerator compartment. – Open the appliance door as

briefly as possible!

Defrosting

The appliance is defrosted automatically.
