en Installation location A dry, well ventilated room is suitable as an installation location. The installation location should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not placed near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances from the heat source: 3 cm to electric or gas cookers. ■ 30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.
en Ventilation Fig. $ The air on the rear panel and on the side panels of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigerating unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings! Connecting the appliance After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.
en Getting to know your appliance Controls Fig. " 1 2 3 Please fold out the illustrated last page. These operating instructions refer to several models. The features of the models may vary. The diagrams may differ. Fig. ! * Not all models.
en Operating tips ■ ■ ■ ■ When the appliance has been switched on, it may take several hours until the set temperatures have been reached. The fully automatic NoFrost system ensures that the freezer compartment remains free of ice. Defrosting is no longer required. The sides of the housing are sometimes heated slightly. This prevents condensation in the area of the door seal.
en Temperature alarm The temperature alarm switches on if the freezer compartment is too warm and the frozen food is at risk of thawing. Temperature display, Fig. "/3, is flashing. The alarm may switch on without any risk to the frozen food: ■ when the appliance is switched on, ■ when large quantities of fresh food are placed in the appliance, ■ if the freezer compartment door is open too long. Note Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen.
en Note Do not block air outlet openings with food, otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food which is stored directly in front of the air outlet openings may be frozen by the cold air flowing out. Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones: ■ ■ Coldest zone is in the upper area of the refrigerator compartment. Note Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
en Freezing and storing food Purchasing frozen food ■ ■ ■ ■ Packaging must not be damaged. Use by the “use by” date. Temperature in the supermarket freezer must be -18 °C or lower. If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer compartment. When loading products, please note: ■ ■ ■ Freeze larger quantities of food preferably in the bottom frozen food container. This is where food freezes particularly quickly and therefore also gently.
en Packing frozen food To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers. 1. Place food in packaging. 2. Remove air. 3. Seal the wrapping. 4. Label packaging with contents and date of freezing. Suitable packaging: Cling wrap, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers. These products are available from specialist outlets. Unsuitable packaging: Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper, cellophane, bin liners and used shopping bags.
en Thawing frozen food Depending on the type and application, select one of the following options: ■ ■ ■ ■ at room temperature in the refrigerator in an electric oven, with/without fan assisted hot-air in the microwave m Caution Do not refreeze thawing or thawed food. Only ready meals (boiled or fried) may be refrozen. No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period.
en Sticker “OK” Cleaning the appliance (not all models) The sticker “OK” lets you check whether the refrigerator compartment achieves the safe temperature ranges of +4 °C or colder recommended for food. If the sticker does not indicate “OK”, gradually reduce the temperature. m Caution Note When the appliance is switched on, it may take up to 12 hours until the set temperature is reached.
en Interior fittings All variable parts of the appliance can be taken out for cleaning. Take out shelves in the door Fig. % Lift shelves upwards and take out.
