• It is possible to store food for longer periods of time, up to three months. This period might vary, so
please observe the storage information on the packaging of the merchandise.

Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18°C.
Moreover the device should be defrosted regularly. A thick layer of ice on the wall deteriorates the
cooling effect and the power consumption increases.

• Do not store bottles or cans. These can break when the contents freeze – or even explode, if they
contain carbonated drinks.
• Once products have been defrosted halfway or completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except they have been processed to a ready meal.
• Do not open the door in case of power failure. If the failure does not take longer than 10 hours, the
food will not be affected.
• Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not allow children to eat ice cream directly from the freezer.
The cold can cause injuries in the oral cavity.
• Touching metal parts inside the device can cause symptoms similar to burns if the skin is very sen-
sitive.
• Do not touch frozen food with moist or wet hands; they could freeze to the items.

side of the cooling chamber. The water running through a flume, is collected in a container underneath
the compressor, where it will evaporate. Make sure the water discharge opening does not get clogged.
Clean it carefully with a pipe cleaner or knitting needle. A light formation of ice on the rear side during
operation is normal.
To achieve better cooling and to save energy, defrost the freezer

Remove the food items and keep covered at a cool location. When the ice has melted, wipe the con-
densate away and dry the device interior. You may then restart the device by connecting the plug and
turning the temperature control.

Never use metal objects (e.g. knives) for removing ice from the vaporizer. The vaporizer could be
damaged. A defect vaporizer could cause serious damages.
