USE

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat is located at the back of the freezer and can be set to MIN. (cold), NORMAL (colder) or MAX (coldest). Position NORMAL is the recommended position for normal use.

• The running time and temperature are affected by where the freezer is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in.
• When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting.

STORAGE GUIDE
For the best storage, set up your refrigerating appliance as follows:

FREEZING AND STORING FOOD IN THE FREEZER
Use the freezer

• To store deep-frozen food.
• To make ice cubes.
• To freeze food.

Note: Ensure that the freezer door has been closed properly. Avoid opening the freezer drawers unnecessarily.

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date.
• If possible, transport deep-frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer.

Freezing fresh food
Freeze fresh and undamaged food only. To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.
Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing: Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
• The following foods are not suitable for freezing: Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food
To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.
   Suitable packaging:
   Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil, freezer containers.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer
These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)| 6 months
Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes| 12 months

Never forget:

• When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

VACATION TIME
For short vacation periods, leave the control knobs at their usual settings. During longer absences:

• Remove all foods.
• Disconnect from electrical outlet.
• Clean the freezer thoroughly, including defrost pan.
• Leave door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mould or odours.

POWER FAILURE

• Most power failures are corrected within an hour or two and will not affect your freezer temperatures.
  However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.

• During power failures of longer duration, take steps to protect your food by putting dry ice on top of packages.

• Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 15 hours. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

SOME IMPORTANT RULES FOR THE CORRECT USE OF THE FREEZER

• Never place hot foods in the freezer.
• Don’t overload the cabinet.
• Don’t open the door unless necessary.
• Caution: please keep the product away from fire or similar glowing substances before you dispose of the freezer.
• Caution: Not for outer camping use (e.g. in a tent).
• Caution: For indoor use only.
• Caution: The appliance can not be used in public transportation.
• Keep all accessories, such as shelves, door racks, and drawers, in the appliance to minimise energy consumption.
• Do not place carbonated drinks in the freezer. The bottle/can is pressurised and may explode.
• Be careful when consuming ice creams that come from the freezer. These can cause frostbite.
• An empty freezer consumes more energy. After all, when the door is opened, warm air enters the space and needs to be cooled. More air enters when there are fewer products, meaning that more energy needs to be consumed to cool that air. So fill your freezer properly or choose a model sized for your needs.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
• Turn the appliance off. Disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
• Take out the food and store in a cool location.
• Clean the appliance with a soft cloth, warm water and detergent.
• Wipe the door seal with clear water only and then wipe dry thoroughly.
• After cleaning, put the plug in the socket and set the desired temperature.
• Put the food back into the appliance.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Disconnect the appliance from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the freezer compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer.
