Storing food Storing food
The freezer allows you to store frozen food at a temperature of -18°C or below (from a middle
temperature control setting) for several months, to produce ice cubes and to freeze fresh good.
The temperature of the device is automatically controlled by the temperature control.
Due to external influences such as room temperature, placements, frequency of opening the lid and
the amount of food the temperature in the freezer can be influenced.

• 24 hours before freezing we recommend turning the temperature control to the highest power level
and to keep this setting even after freezing for a few hours. The device is not compromised if the
setting will not revert to a normal operating temperature (temperature control in middle setting) after
the freezing process, but for economic reasons you should possibly avoid it.
• Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. Therefore during freezing operation,
the temperature of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible in order to keep formation of
ice crystals as little as possible and not to damage the food structure.

• Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a 4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer's data. Make sure the food items do not defrost after purchase and to store them
as fast as possible in the freezer.
• 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.

NOTE NOTE
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.
Safety precautions Safety precautions Safety precautions Safety precautions
• 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 lid in case of power failure. If the failure does not take longer than 15 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.
