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 Food storage guide at the back of this user
manual.
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.
ReMgerating 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.
Instruction for use
■ If the red pilot light comes on unexpectedly or
stays on for a long period of time, 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 considerably
increase energy consumption. For best results,
use a soft brush or a duster to remove dust from
the condenser.
Special tips 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 longer
periods (such as during holidays), it should be left
open to prevent odours from building up inside. If your
appliance has a lock, set the lock in the "closed"
position with the doors open and keep the key well
away from small children to prevent accidents.
Ice and frost layers which build up to a certain
thickness on the insidewalls, act as insulation and
prevent the dispersion of the coldness. These must
be removed from time to time. To remove the layeio of
ice from the inside walls, use a plastic or
