Storing frozen food
• To ensure good air circulation in the
appliance, insert the freezer drawers
all the way.
• If large quantities of food are to be
stored in the freezer, all the freezer
drawers (except the bottom one) can
be taken out of the appliance and the
food stacked directly on the freezer
shelves. To remove a freezer drawer,
pull out all the way, lift at the front and
remove.
Storage duration
To prevent a reduction in the quality of
the frozen food, the permitted storage
duration at –18 ºC should not be exceed.
The storage period depends on the type
of produce. When purchasing frozen pro-
duce, observe the date of manufacture
or sell-by date.
Fish, sausage,
ready meals and
cakes and pastries up to 6 months
Cheese, poultry
and meat up to 8 months
Vegetables and
fruit up to 12 months
Artificial ice blocks
(Fig. !3/30).
This accessory is only included with
certain models, so if yours does not
contain one, disregard this section.
The artificial ice blocks prevent food
from warming-up too quickly in the event
of a power cut or failure.
They are most effective if they are
placed in the upper drawer directly on
top of the products.
The artificial ice blocks may be taken
out of the appliance and used as a
practical means to keep food temporarily
cool, e.g. in an insulated cooling bag.
To remove from frozen food bin, pull
securing plate upwards. (Fig. !3/31).

full of water and
place in the freezer compartment. Use
the top freezer drawer to accelerate the
freezing process.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice tray
slightly or hold briefly under flowing
water (Fig. U).
Place the ice tray in the first drawer to
make ice cubes more quickly
(Fig. Q/17).
Defrosting the
freezer compartment
Risk of electric shock
Do not use a steam cleaner. Steam may
condense on live components and cause
a short-circuit or an electric shock.
Do not scrape off frost with a knife or
pointed implement.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye
injuries and is flammable.
Do not use electrical appliances or
naked flames in the appliance.
