¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cau-
se increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥ Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-
turer.
¥ 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 tempe-
ratures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers
with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire
extinguisher refill cartridges 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.
¥ 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 contamina-
tion of other frozen goods occurs.
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands
could freeze to the food.
To ensure correct air circulation within the freezer during normal use,
please do not take out the drawers.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the
upper basket. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen,
otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. When freezing fresh food, depress the ambient temperature switch
(A) 24 hours before loading the food without modifying the thermostat
setting. The pilot light will come on. At the end of the freezing process,
do not forget to depress again the ambient switch in order to avoid an
increase of the power consumption.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Index tabs are supplied for placing on drawers. To mark the contents
of the individual drawers, press the rider over the corresponding sym-
bol (see "Frozen Food Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This will
give you a better overview of the contents, avoid extended door ope-
ning and therefore save electricity.
