Freezing

Only fresh produce is suitable for freezing.

Only small quantities should be frozen at
�
one time and the rapid cooling button
should be activated (see operating and
controll panel) so that the temperature
in the freezer does not increase too
much.The maximum quantity (2 kg)
should be frozen on the grid. For free-
zing the maximum quantity please
activate the rapid cooling button 12
hours before put in produce to be fro-
zen. Leave the temperature in the nor-
mal operating position, about 5°C. it is
the best to prepack small portions only.

�
to be frozen and the process control is
carried out automatically. Leave the tem-
perature control in the normal operating
position, about 5 °C.

�
ught into contact with products which

Defrosting

The cold room defrosts automatically. Ice
which has formed on the back wall is mel-
ted (about once per day, see also the tips).
The water flows out of the drainage chan-
nel (Figure =) and evaporates from the
collection dish outside the appliance.
Be sure to keep the collection channel and
the drainage channel clean, so that the
melted water can flow out easily. Clean
out the drainage channel with the green
cleaner provided using an up-and-down
and turning motion.
Defrost the freezer compartment if the ice
formation becomes excessive. A thick coa-
ting of ice reduces the effectiveness of the
cold transfer to the frozen products.
Keep the frozen products as cold as possi-
ble and well insulated during the defro-
sting time, e.g. pack them in newspaper.
– Turn off the appliance by using the main
switch (3 sec.)
– Pull out the water drain hole
– Place water catcher under the defrosted
water drainage channel
– Leave the doors open.
Defrosting can be accelerated significantly
if you place a bowl of hot water in the fre-
ezer compartment. Attention: do not use
sharp implements to remove ice or any-
