Freezer
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.
NOTE:
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does
not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit should be
defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer deteriorates
the cooling and increases the power consumption.
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 turn the temperature con-
trol to the off state.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
 Remove the appliance content.
 Disconnect the power supply.
 Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
nance"
).
 Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
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
model) in their original position.
