- Important information when using the appliance
- ■ Never use electrical appliances inside the appliance (e.g. heater, electric ice maker, etc.). Explosion hazard!
- ■ Never defrost or clean the appliance with a steam cleaner! The steam may penetrate electrical parts and cause a short-circuit. Risk of electric shock!
- ■ Do not use pointed or sharp- edged implements to remove frost or layers of ice. You could damage the refrigerant tubes. Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries or ignite.
- ■ Do not store products which contain flammable propellants (e.g. spray cans) or explosive substances in the appliance. Explosion hazard!
- ■ Do not stand on or lean heavily against base of appliance, drawers or doors, etc
- ■ For defrosting and cleaning, pull the mains plug out or switch off the fuse. Do not pull out the mains plug by tugging on the power cord.
- ■ Store high-percentage alcohol tightly closed and standing up.
- ■ Keep plastic parts and the door seal free of oil and grease. Otherwise, parts and door seal will become porous.
- ■ Never cover or block the ventilation openings of the appliance!
- ■ Avoiding placing children and vulnerable people at risk:
- At risk are children, people who have limited physical, mental or sensory abilities, as well as people who have inadequate knowledge concerning safe operation of the appliance.
- Ensure that children and vulnerable people have understood the hazards.
- A person responsible for safety must supervise or instruct children and vulnerable people who are using the appliance.
- Only children from 8 years and above may use the appliance.
- Supervise children who are cleaning and maintaining the appliance.
- Never allow children to play with the appliance.
- ■ Do not store bottled or canned drinks (especially carbonated drinks) in the freezer compartment. Bottles and cans may burst!
- ■ Never put frozen food straight from the freezer compartment into your mouth. Risk of low-temperature burns!
- ■ Avoid prolonged touching of frozen food, ice or the evaporator pipes, etc. Risk of low-temperature burns!

- ■ Refrigerator compartment: +4 °C
- ■ Freezer compartment: -18 °C
- Operating tips
- ■ When the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached.
- Do not put any food in the appliance beforehand.
- ■ The sides of the housing are sometimes heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
- ■ If the freezer compartment door cannot be immediately re-opened after it has been closed, wait until the resulting low pressure has equalised.

- Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
- ■ Coldest zone is on the rear panel inside the appliance and in the chiller container. Fig. !/12
- Note
- Store perishable food e.g. fish, sausage, meat in the coldest zones.
- ■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
- Note
- Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

- Prerequisites for max. freezing capacity
- ■ Switch on super freezing before placing fresh products in the compartment (see chapter entitled “Super freezing”).
- ■ Remove the fittings. The food can be stacked directly on the shelves and in the bottom of the freezer compartment.
- ■ Freeze large quantities of food preferably in the very top compartment where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
- ■ Freeze fresh food as close as possible to the side panels.

- ■ Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx....
- ■ Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

- Tips for saving energy
- ■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
- If required, use an insulating plate.
- ■ Do not block the ventilation openings in the appliance.
- ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
- ■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
- ■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.
- A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption.
- ■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
- ■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always closed properly.
- ■ To avoid increased power consumption, occasionally clean the back of the appliance.
- ■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.

Freezing food
■ Freeze fresh and undamaged food
only.
■ Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
■ To prevent food from losing its flavour
or drying out, place in airtight
containers.
Storing frozen food
Insert frozen food container all the way to
ensure unrestricted air circulation.
If you have to store lots of food, it is
possible to transfer the food to the glass
shelves and stack it on the base
of the freezer base.
1. To do this, remove all the frozen food
containers.
2. Pull out the frozen food containers all
the way, lift at the front and remove.

Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.
Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.
