Turning OFF the freezer compartment
To turn off the freezer press the button (I) several times until the symbol "OF"
appears in the temperature indicator (J). Press the button (I) again for about
5 seconds. In the temperature indicator there is a "count down" i.e. a back-
ward counting from "3" to "1". When "1" appears the refrigerator is turned
off. The temperature indicator switches off.
Switching the Appliance off
To switch off, hold down the (A) button.
If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:
1. Turn off the appliance.
2. Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.
3. Defrost the freezer compartment and clean the appliance thoroughly (see
section: "Cleaning and Maintenance").
4. Finally, leave the doors open so as to avoid a build up of odours.
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 freez-
ing 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 rat-
ing plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right
through to the core as quickly as possible.
Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
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 freezer.
Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer.
