manual abstract
Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Then leave the lid open to avoid odours. Maximum capacity / Stacking limit To be able to store larger quantities or bulky products for freezing you can remove all the storage baskets. The appliance will still function safely if used in this way. Do not stack the products higherthan the lower edge of the plastic frame. Freezing Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section on the left of the dividing partition as long as it does not come into contact with previously frozen food. Attention! Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or colder. Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. Turn the control knob to „SUPER”. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. Turn the control knob to „SUPER” 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave the control knob set to „SUPER” for a further 24 hours. Return the control knob to a medium setting. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to return the control knob to a medium setting, the freezer will not be damaged but energy will be wasted. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. Place the packed food products into the freezer. Ensure they come into contact with the side walls. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw. If more products have to be frozen, keep on the fast freeze switch - otherwise switch the fast freeze function off about 24 hours after inserting the food products, for smaller quantities earlier. TIPS: The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: -freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; -special cans for frozen goods; -extra-thick aluminium foil The following are suitable for closing bags and foil: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. Before closing press out the air from the bags and foil, as air make the frozen products dry out more easily and wastes space. Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. Frozen Storage Attention! Before filling the freezer for the first time with previously frozen goods, the necessary storage temperature of -18 °C must have been attained. Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. Store ice cream and fatty foods in the lower area of the freezer (near to the bottom). Defrosting Whilst in operation and when the lid is opened, the moisture inside the freezer forms hoar frost. Remove this hoar frost from time to time with a soft plastic scraper, e.g. a spatula. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. Defrost the freezer when the layer of hoar frost has become 4 mm thick. For models with a no-frost system at least once a year. Models with a low frost system do not need to be defrosted as often, as in the case of these appliances ice and hoar frost take longer to build up in the freezer. The low frost system is maintenance free throughout the entire service life of the appliance. A convenient time for defrosting is any time when the appliance is empty, or only minimally loaded. Warning! Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended in these operating instructions. Do not use defrosting sprays, because they may be health endangering and/or contain substances damaging to plastics. Caution! Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands Hands can freeze to the goods. Remove frozen goods, pack them in several layers of newspaper, cover them and store them in a cool place, e.g. i...
