• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like goods, because liquids expand
during freezing.
Note for inspection authorities:
Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly
from the manufacturer.

Preparation of Ice Cubes
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few sec-
onds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment using pointed or sharp
edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen
goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appro-
priate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower
value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before
freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
Defrosting
During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly
on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper supplied.
Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose.
The freezer should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 mil-
limetres. Defrost should be carried out once a year regardless of the amount of frost that has built up. A
good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only a small amount of food.
Each temperature rise reduces the keeping qualities of your frozen food. Around 12 hours before defrost-
ing your freezer, switch over to fast freeze mode to build up a low temperature reserve in the frozen
food.
Warning!
• Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the
defrosting process.
• Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that
damage plastics.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food.
Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place.
Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.

Remove all drawers. Insert the plastic scraper in the special location
to act as an extension channel and place underneath a basin to
collect the defrost water.
Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with warm water
in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have
fallen before they completely defrost.
After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and inte-
rior fittings.
