¥ Packaging (e.g. wraps, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children.
There is a risk of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from
children!
¥ Please make old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull out the
29
mains plug, cut off the mains cable, break or remove spring or boltcatches, if fitted. By doing this you ensure that children cannot lock
themselves in the fridge when playing (there is risk of suffocation!)or
get themselves into other dangerous situations.
¥ Often children cannot recognise the hazards present in household
appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure adequate
supervision and never let children play with the appliance!
Daily Operation
¥ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures. 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 compartment.
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 compartment. Exception: high
alcohol content spirits can be stored in the freezer compartment.
¥ Do not put ice creams or ice cubes in the mouth immediately after
removal from the freezer compartment. Very cold ice can freeze to
the lips or tongue and cause injury.
¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze
to the food.
¥ Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer
(e.g. electric ice cream makers, mixers etc.).
¥ Before cleaning the appliance, always switch off the appliance and
unplug it, or pull the house fuse or switch off the circuit breaker.
¥ When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not
pull on the cable.
In case of malfunction
¥ If the a malfunction occurs on the appliance, please look first in the

Disposal
Appliance Packaging Information
All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified
as follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the
interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.
Disposal of old Appliances
For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of
its service life - for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable.
Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy
any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing
children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or
place themselves into other life-endangering situations.
Disposal:
¥ The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky
refuse.
¥ The refrigerant circuit, especially the heat exchanger at the back of
the appliance, may not be damaged.
¥ Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be
obtained from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

Important note: if you operate the fast-freeze switch or adjust the
temperature regulator, it may happen that your applianceÕs refrigeration motor does not start immediately but only after some time. This
does not mean that your appliance has a fault.
Audible temperature alarm
Your freezer is equipped with an audible temperature alarm, an acoustic warning sound simultaneously with illumination of the red temperature pilot lamp, alerting you to the fact that the storage temperature
in your freezer is too high or too warm. The audible warning sounds
until is switched on by operation of the fast-freeze switch.
Sound signal alarm with open door
This appliance incorporates an alarm which gives off a sound signal
when the door remains open for more than 60 seconds. The signal
can be stopped by closing the door.

Setting Ò1Ó: Hightest temperature, (warmest setting).
Setting Ò4Ó (end-stop) : Lowest temperature, (coldest setting).
The exact setting should be chosen keeping in mind that the temperature inside the appliance depends on:
- the quantity of food stored
- how often the door is opened
- ambient temperature
Important:
Regularly check on the red temperature pilot lamp (C) and the thermometer that the required storage temperature is being maintained.
Ice pack
There is an ice pack 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 optimally 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.
Freezing and storing frozen food
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.
Important!
¥ The temperature in the freezer compartment must be Ð18 ¡C or colder before freezing food.
¥ Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food seve44
ral days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to
3/4 of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
¥ Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
¥ 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 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. Exception: high alcohol content spirits can be stored 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.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.

compartment and leave to freeze.
2.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend 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
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.
Storage Goods
Calendar
Symbols/Freezing
¥ 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 storage 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.
¥ By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be
marked according to which type of foods the individual compartments contain.
Defrosting
The freezer compartment, however, will become progrssively covered
with frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper
provided, whenever the tickness 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:
1.
Remove the frozen food from the freezer, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a very cool place.
2.
Switch off the appliance and pull out the plug, or remove or unscrew
the safety fuses.
3.
Leave the freezer compartment door open.
46
4.
Insert the plastic scraper into
the recess provided under the
defrost water channel and place a collecting basin under it.
5.
Once defrosting is completed
keep the scraper for future
use;
6.
Turn the thermostat knob to
the required setting or replace
the plug in the power socket.
Warning!
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
shorten their safe storage life.
