• 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.
• 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.
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
stick to the food.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the upper
drawer. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the
frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.
Ice pack
There are two ice packs in one drawer of the freezer.
In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice pack will lengthen
the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by
several hours. The ice pack can only fulfil this task efficiently if it is placed
in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use
the ice pack for cooling cold bags.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either twist the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

Reversing the door
The side the door opens can be changed from the right side (factory adjust-
ment) to the left side, if the installation site requires.
Warning! When changing the side the door opens, the appliance must not
be connected to the mains. Remove plug from the mains beforehand.
The appliance should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight
and away from continuous heat and extreme temperature, e.g. not next to
a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse. If these tem-
peratures are exceeded i.e. warmer or colder, then the appliance may not
operate correctly.
For building-in and door reversal instructions please refer to the relevant
instructions on the following pages.
