Nevertheless, we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Intended use • The freezer is intended for use in the home. It is suitable for the freezing and storing frozen food, as well as for making ice.
themselves in the freezer when playing (there is risk of suffocation!) or get themselves into other dangerous situations. • Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate supervision and never let children play with the appliance! Daily Operation • Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger! About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use and efficient performance of the appliance is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Your freezer needs air Your freezer is designed for maintenance-free operation. What it should never lack is good ventilation. Air is supplied under the ventilation slot between the freezer and storage surface. Air is extracted through the upper ventilation grille. Never obstruct these openings. Plug socket ☞ 56 The plug socket necessary for connection of your appliance to the electricity supply should be positioned so that it is possible to pull out the appliance plug.
Rehingeing the door The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjustment) to the left side, if the installation site requires. Warning! When changing the side at which the door opens, the appliance may not be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand. ☞ Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and drop it securely. ☞ Unscrew the door hinge screws (K) and take the door bearing (1) downwards out of its cavity.

This assures safe and convenient insertion and removal of frozen food.
Buttons for Adjusting the Temperature + °C - +8 +6 +5 +4 +2 The temperature is adjusted using the „+“ (WARMER) and „-“ (COLDER) buttons. These buttons are connected to the temperature display. • The temperature display is switched over from the display of the ACTUAL temperature (one light illuminated) to the display of the DESIRED temperature (one light flashing) by pressing one of the two buttons, „+“ or „-“.
FROSTMATIC Button The Frostmatic function “ ✳ ” accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. The Frostmatic function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates. The Frostmatic function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

The changed setting is immediately displayed on the temperature display.The temperature is adjusted by one display field with each press of a button. Note: From a food science point of view, -18°C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature.
Control and Information System The control and information system comprises a temperature display, an optical warning light and an acoustic warning device. The system warns: – if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; – if there is a malfunction in the appliance. Temperature Warning The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds as soon as the temperature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C.
Freezing and storing frozen food ☞ ☞ You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food. • Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4 of that on the rating plate.
☞ ☞ Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (1) and (2) equipped with its own refrigerating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food. The lowest drawer has a solid floor and can be used for catching some of the melt-water when the freezer is beeing defrosted.
warm by several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task optimally if it is placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice pack for cooling cold bags. 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 seconds.
Defrosting and cleaning ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ ☞ 66 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 millimetres; however at least once a year.
☞ ☞ ☞ Warning! • The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. • Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accu mulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts. • The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
If you should ever move house ☞ ☞ ☞ If the freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack the frozen food all together on as few storage levels as possible: drawers (1) and (2). 24 hours before the removal lorry is due to leave switch over to fastfreezing in order to build up a reserve of coldness in the frozen items. Make sure the freezer door cannot come open during transport.
