Then continue as follows:
a) Berries, fruits with peel, herbs etc. should be laid out
loose for freezing on the freezing tray (not all models are
supplied with this) in the upper part of the freezer and
then put into freezer bags after about 12 hours. Store the
filled freezer bags in one of the available drawers.
Fresh food should be placed in the top drawer and
moved down to one of the lower drawers after approx.
24 hours.
Avoid putting fresh foods directly in contact with deep
frozen food. The deep frozen food could defrost and may
not last out the normal storage time.
b) Within a period of 24 hours, fill up the freezer only with
the adequate quantities of fresh food for the freezing
capacity of your freezer.
Consult the information on the rating plate (XX
kg/24h).
c) If your freezer is equipped with a SUPER FREEZE
SWITCH, switch it on (the yellow light will come on) this
is not strictly necessary when filling up with already
frozen foods (e.g. deep frozen foods).
WARNING! Switch off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH
after 24 hours at the latest (the yellow light will go off).
d) Set the temperature dial to a medium to high setting.
e) Keep the temperature in the freezing compartment
under control preferably
thermometer with a scale range of up to -26°C. The
storage temperature must always be at least - 18°C.
Refilling the freezer compartment with fresh (not frozen)
food
Make sure that you wait at least 24 hours before refilling
with fresh food, in adequate quantities for the freezing
capacity of your freezer (XX kg/24h).

Maximum capacity

In order to ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill
the drawers up to the top.
Set the temperature dial strictly according to the filling
capacity.
To save energy in normal room temperatures ( + 18°C to +
22°C) we recommend setting the temperature dial to a
medium setting.

Storage time

The storage time for ready deep-frozen products depends
on the type of product and on its ingredients. For this
reason, you should strictly follow the producer's instructions
on the packaging.
When you want to freeze fresh foods yourself, consult the
Storage table (Chapter 17.
Once frozen foods have been defrosted, they should be
used up within between 12 to 24 hours.
Do not eat any food beyond its storage time; this
could lead to food poisoning.
Refrigerating storage battery
(Not supplied with all appliances)
Refrigerating storage batteries serve two functions:
 In the event of a power cut, the storage battery prevents
the temperature inside the appliance from going up too
much – this preserves the quality of the food for longer.
 Put storage batteries with the flat side in contact with the
uppermost evaporation panel or in the top compartment.

 Storage batteries can also be used to keep foods cool in a
cool box.
 Storage batteries reach their maximum refrigerating
 capacity after they have been in the freezer for about 24
hours at - 18° C or lower and are then placed in one of the
cool boxes that are commercially available.
Precautions and advice
 Whenever cleaning or defrosting, remove the power plug
or switch off the main fuse.
 After closing the freezer door, do not open it immediately
and do not force it open under any circumstances. The
vacuum created by the sealing of the door is dispersed
after about 1 - 2 minutes, so that the door can be opened
normally again.
 To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow cooked
food to cool down to room temperature before closing the
lid of the dish and before storage.
 Leave the freezer door open as briefly as possible to
avoid wasting energy and to prevent an excessive
amount of ice forming in the freezer compartment.
 If the red pilot light comes on unexpectedly or stays on for
a long period, do not open the door on any account and
take appropriate measures immediately (see "What to
do when..." at the back of the user manual).
 Never use a screwdriver or any other sharp-edged metal
tool to remove the layers of ice. The inside walls are very
delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp edges. Use
only plastic or wooden scrapers with no sharp edges.

9 Cleaning and maintenance

As a firm rule, unplug the power plug or switch off at the
mains.
For the upkeep of the external appearance of your fridge /
freezer, clean the outside every now and again with furniture
polish or with an enamel protecting product (never, on any
account use it inside). Clean the door seal with warm water
now and again but do not use any cleaning products.
Clean your appliance regularly.
 The various parts inside the fridge / freezer are generally
not suitable for dishwashers. These should be washed by
hand with warm water and a little washing-up liquid.
Never use the cleaning agent neat and on no
account use any abrasive or acid, i.e. chemical cleaning
products. A general all-purpose pH neutral cleaning agent
is recommended.
 The rating plate inside or outside your appliance should
not be damaged and should never be removed - this is
essential for servicing. Make sure, when cleaning, that no
water runs onto any electrical parts inside the appliance.
 If there is a heat exchanger -called condenser- on the
back of your fridge / freezer, this should be cleaned
regularly. Dust and dirt impede the release of heat from
the inside and
consumption. For best results, use a soft brush or a
duster to remove dust from the condenser.
Special tip for cleaning the fridge
Clean the drain hole in the fridge from time to time with, for
example, cotton buds, in order to keep it clear.
Switching off the appliance
If your appliance is going to be switched off for
periods (such as during holidays), it should be left open to
