ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not
dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of
other frozen goods occurs.
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen
food could begin to defrost.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could free-
ze to the food.
1. Place the food to be frozen on the freezer shelf.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects.
Freezing Calendar
• The symbols show different types of frozen goods.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated stora-
ge time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating befo-
re freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
Frost is automatically eliminated
during normal use. The defrost water
drains out through a trough into a
special container at the back of the
appliance, where it evaporates.
We recommend that you peridically
clean the defrost-water drainage
outlet with the cleaner provided,
located in the center of the drainage
groove.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, will become progrssively covered with frost. This
should be removed with al plastic scraper. Whenever the tickness of the fro-
st exceeds 4 mm complete defrosting should be carried out as follows:
1. pull out the plug from the wall socket or turn the thermostat knob to th “0”
setting.
2. remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers newspaper and put it in a
coll place.
3. leave the door open.
4. when defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly
5. turn the thermostat knob to the required setting or raplace the plug in the
power socket.
Attention
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from the evaporator as you
could damage it.
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting , may shor-
ten their safe storage life.
Switching off the appliance
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0".
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Remove all refrigerated and deep-frozen packages as well as ice trays.
2. Switch off the appliance .
3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
4. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning
