Switching on and off Before using for the first time Cleaning ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with lukewarm water and a little washing-up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth. Switching on Cool pack Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. Switching off ^ Press the On/Off button until the temperature display goes out. The cooling system is switched off.
Switching on and off Safety lock The safety lock can be activated to prevent the appliance being switched off inadvertently. Activating or deactivating the safety lock If you do not do this, the electronics will switch over to normal operation automatically after a couple of minutes. Switching off for longer periods of time If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday: ^ switch the appliance off, ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for approx.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. To freeze fresh food and to store frozen food for a long time, a temperature of -18 °C is required. At this temperature the growth of micro-organisms is generally halted.
The correct temperature If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display as it will take this long for the display to give an accurate reading. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
The correct temperature ^ Press one of the temperature selector buttons repeatedly until ^ appears in the display. ^ Press the Super freeze button again. ^ lights up in the display. ^ You can now adjust the level of brightness by pressing the temperature selector buttons. You can choose from settings 1 to 5: 1: dimmest setting, 5: brightest setting. ^ Press the Super freeze button to save the setting. ^ Press the On/Off button to come out of setting mode.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Temperature alarm An alarm will sound and the temperature display will flash if the temperature becomes too warm. The temperature the appliance is set at determines the temperature the appliance recognises as being too warm. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active.
Super freeze Super freeze Switching off Super freeze Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. The Super freeze function will switch off automatically after a minimum of 30 hours and a maximum of 65 hours. The indicator light will go out and the appliance will run at normal power again. This helps food to freeze quickly and retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours and appearance. Super freeze is not necessary: – when putting in food that is already frozen.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Storing frozen food To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate: "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".
Freezing and storing food Home freezing Only freeze fresh food which is in a good condition. Hints on home freezing – The following types of food are suitable for freezing: Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals. – The following types of food are not suitable for freezing: Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.
Freezing and storing food Before placing food in the freezer ^ When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze"). This helps food that is already in the freezer compartment to stay frozen.
Freezing and storing food Freezer calendar Defrosting The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time in months which various foods can be stored for effectively. Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging.
Freezing and storing food Ice cubes Cool pack The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. This can help to prolong the storage time. ^ Place the cool pack in the top drawer of the freezer. ^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with water, and place it in the bottom of one of the drawers. ^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument, for example a spoon handle, to remove the ice tray from the freezer.
Defrosting In normal use, ice and frost will form in the freezer section, e.g. on the internal walls. How much ice and frost accumulates in the appliance will depend on the following factors: – The appliance door has been opened frequently or left open for a while. – A large quantity of fresh food has been placed in the freezer at once. – There has been an increase in the humidity in the room.
Defrosting To defrost Carry out the defrosting procedure as quickly as possible if food has not been placed in another freezer. The longer the food is left out at room temperature, the faster it defrosts. Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to aid the defrosting process. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. Never place electric heaters or candles etc. inside the appliance to defrost it. They will damage plastic parts.
Cleaning and care Before cleaning Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the ventilation gaps. ^ Switch the appliance off. Do not use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. ^ Take any frozen food out of the appliance and store it in a cool place. The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed. It contains information which is required in the event of a service call.
Cleaning and care Ventilation gaps ^ The ventilation gaps should be cleaned regularly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. Door seal Do not use any oils or grease on the door seal as these will cause the seal to deteriorate and become porous over time. The door seal should be cleaned regularly with clean water, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. After cleaning ^ Close the door.
