Freezer
The four-star freezer allows you to store frozen food
at a temperature of -18°C or colder for several
months to produce ice cubes / to freeze fresh food.
Freezing
 Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
 Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
 Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food
 Packed frozen merchandise should be stored 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 freez-
er.
 It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time. The period might vary, so observe the stor-
age information on the packaging of the mer-
chandise.
General 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 eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.
 Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.
 Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.

Switching off
To switch off the appliance disconnect it from the
power supply.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
 Remove the appliance content.
 Defrost (model dependent) and clean the device
thoroughly (see "Cleaning and Maintenance").
 Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odor.
Tips for Energy saving
 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply,
if it isn't in use.
 Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
 Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
 Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
 Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
 Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
 Open the unit door only as necessary.
 Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
 The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.
