General safety precautions
• Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode if
they contain carbonated drinks.
• Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.
• Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.
• Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.
• Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.
Packing frozen food
Always select packaging suitable for the food and
pack it properly.
• Freeze in portions. Suitable for packaging are e.g.
plastic films, polyethylene tubular films, aluminum
foil, freezer cans.
• The packaging must be impermeable to air and
moisture.
- Press the air out of the package.
- Seal the package tightly with e.g. rubber rings,
plastic clips, twine or cold-resistant adhesive
tapes.
• Label the package with contents and freezing
date.
Storage times
The indicated storage times are guide values for the
storage duration of various food groups in the freez-

Switching off
To switch off the appliance, disconnect the appliance
from the power supply.
If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
• Remove the appliance content.
• Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
”Cleaning and mainte-
nance”
).
• Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for energy saving
• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn’t in use.
• Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
• Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
