In this case, your appliance has no fault. Energy-saving during half- or part-loading On some models you can save power when the freezer is only half full or even less if you store the food in the lower region, below the green stacking mark on the dividing wall (Fig. 6). Turn the temperature controller in the green storage area (Fig. 7) and monitor the storage temperature with a thermometer placed on the frozen food. The minimum storage temperature should be -18 °C. When storing frozen food above the green stacking mark, please never forget to reset the temperature controller to a colder setting; settings 2 to 4. 8 Maximum loading/filling mark Please note that you should store frozen food only as far as the lower edge of the plastic cover frame (figure 8/arrow). Freezing fresh food Your freezer can be used for storage of frozen food and for freezing of fresh food. Before filling the freezer for the first time with frozen food (deep-frozen food), the optimum storage temperature of -18 °C must have been attained at the filling mark. If you intend to freeze food yourself, press the Frost-matic button 4 to 24 hours beforehand (according to quantity). . Freeze only sound fresh food. Please make sure that as far as possible airtight packaged food has good contact with the side refrigerating panels during freezing. In this manner, the food will freeze right through more quickly. After around 24 hours (or less for smaller quantity), the fast freezing sequence can be ended by pressing again the Frostmatic button. If you intend to freeze more food, retain the fast freezesetting. Only place the food in the baskets after freezing is completed! Attention: Your chest freezer has an automatic freezing system. Unless the fast-freeze cycle is manually switched off, this automatically switches off after 48 hours. The refrigerating unit then reverts to normal controlled operation. It is particularly important to keep the freshly inserted food separate from the already frozen food. For this reason, we recommend using the small freezing compartment on the internal right-hand side for freezing purposes. Only when freezing larger quantities (e. g. a quantity corresponding to the daily freezing capacity) must you freeze part of the food having proper contact with the side walls in the large freezing compartment. The daily freezing capacity of your chest freezer is shown on the rating plate. This quantity should not be exceeded. If freezing is carried out every day, it is advisable to reduce this maximum figure to obtain improved frozen food quality. That is to say, if you want to carry out freezing on several consecutive days, only utilize 2A to 3A of the maximum capacity. Hint for test centres Filling plans for determination of freezing capacity and warm-up time according to DIN Standard conditions may be ordered direct from the manufacturer. Storing deep-frozen food and the do’s and don’ts of storing frozen food Once the freezing process is completed, deep-frozen storage takes place in the temperature range below -18 °C, the freezer system being regulated automatically (fast freeze button switched off). For storage of already frozen food, it is imperative to note the storage time specified by the manufacturer on the packing. Make sure that only packed food is stored in the freezer, since unpacked food will soon dry out when exposed to the extreme cold. For safety reasons (such as the risk of an explosion!) containers containing inflammable gases, e. g. aerosol cans or cigarette lighter refills, must never be placed in fridge-freezers. With the exception of spirits and drinks containing a higher percentage of alcohol, beverages in glass bottles, particularly soft drinks containing carbon dioxide, juices, beer, wine, etc. should not be stored in the freezer. When the contents freeze, the glass bottles will crack or even burst. Ice-cream and fatty foods should be kept near the bottom. Never handle deep-frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could easily become frozen to the food. Never use the freezer as a means of cooling hot meals, since this causes heavy frost formation on the evaporators and an increase in electricity consumption. If you want to utilize fully the effective capacity of your appliance and need to store an especially large quantity of deep-frozen food, you can remove all storage baskets. Even when food is loaded in this manner, the functional safety of your appliance is assured. Defrosting and cleaning The moisture in the air entering the freezer when the lid is opened condenses in the freezer in the form of frost. 9 This should be removed from time to time with a plastic scraper, e.g. pastry scraper (not with a knife or the like). It is not necessary to switch off the freezer when doing so. To prevent heavy frost formation, keep the freezer lid closed as much as possible. This also saves electricity, since heavy frost incrustation impairs refrigerating efficiency. Your freezer ...
