• Many proprietary kitchen surface cleaners contain chemicals that can  
attack/damage the plastics used in this appliance. For this reason it is  
recommended that the outer casing of this appliance is only cleaned with  
warm water with a little washing-up liqiud added.  
• 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.  
1.  
Remove frozen food and the food from the refrigerator. Wrap frozen  
food in several layers of newspaper. Store it in a cool place, well covered.  
2.  
3.  
Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off.  
• 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.  
Clean the appliance and the inte-  
rior accessories with lukewarm  
water and with a little bicarbonate  
of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of  
water).  
4.  
5.  
Dry the appliance thoroughly.  
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could  
stick to the food.  
Check the water drain hole on the  
rear wall of the fridge. Clear a  
blocked drain hole with the aid of  
the drain cleaning tool included  
with the appliance.  
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.

Energy Saving Tips  
Ice pack  
• Do not install the appliance near radiators or other sources of continuous  
warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-  
tion of the compressor.  
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall  
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.  
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.  
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool  
first.  
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.  
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.  
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will  
then be used to cool the fridge.  
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.

Freezing Calendar  
Never use metal tools to scrape off the frost  
Do not use a mechanical device or any artificial means to speed up the  
thawing process other than those recommended by the manufacturer.  
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during defrosting, may shor-  
ten their safe storage life.  
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.  
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types  
of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated sto-  
rage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating  
before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.  
Switching off the appliance  
To switch off the appliance, turn the temperature regulator to position "0"  
or disconnect from the electricity supply.

Frost is automatically removed from the evaporator of the refrigerator com-  
partment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use. The  
defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at the back  
of the appliance, located over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.

Freezer  
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with  
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,  
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it  
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.  
However when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner, complete  
defrosting should be carried out as follows:

the scraper handy for future use;  
Turn the thermostat knob to the  
required setting or replace the plug  
in the power socket.  
Warning!  
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, disconnect the appliance  
from the electricity supply.  
• Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumu-  
late in electrical components, which could cause an electrical shock! Hot  
vapours can lead to the damage of plastic parts.  
• The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
