1 Werecommendyouplacefreshfoodsinthebottomofthe
freezer.Thisisthecoldestpart.
 Avoidtoputfreshfoodsdirectlyincontactwithdeepfrozen
food.Deepfrozenfoodcoulddefrostandmaynotoutlast
theforeseenstoragetime.
2 Fillinwithin24hours,onlythequantitiesoffreshfoodthat
aresuitableforthefreezingcapacityofyourappliance.See
informationontheratingplate(XXkg/24h).
3 After24hours,shiftdeep-frozengoodsfromthefreezer
bottomorthepre-freezeshelftoahungbasketsothatthe
pre-freezeshelforfreezerbottomareavailableforfreezing
additionalfreshfoods.
4 Setthetemperaturecontroltooneoftheappliance’srel-
evantllingcapacities.
5 Keepthetemperatureinthestorageshelfundercontrol,
preferablybyplacingathermometerwithascalerangeof
upto–26°C.
Thestoragetemperaturemustalwaysbeatleast-18°C.
Rellingoffreshfood(notfrozen)
Makesurethatyourellfreshfood,inquantitiesadequatetothe

Maximum stacking height
Toensurecorrectstorageoffrozenfood,neverllthestorage
compartmentuptotheedge.Alwaysallowspacebetweenthe
lidandthefrozenfoods.Notethestackingmarksafxedbythe
manufacturer.(asfarasavailable)
Setthe temperaturecontrolstrictly accordingto thellingca-
pacity.
Tosaveenergywhenoperatinginnormalambienttemperature
(+18to+22°C).
Storage time
Thestoragetimeforpurchaseddeep-frozenproductsvariesand
depends on the type of product and itspackaging. Therefore,
strictlyobservetheproducer’sinstructionsonthepackaging.
Afterbeingdefrosted,foodmustbeconsumedimmediatelybut
latestwithinthenext24hours.
Precautions and advice
• Whenevercleaningordefrosting,removethepowerplug.
• Afterclosingthefreezerlid,donotopenitimmediatelyand
donotforceitopenunderanycircumstances.Anyvacuum
remainingonthesealisreleasedafterabout1or2minutes,
sothatthelidcanbeopenednormallyonceagain.
• Topreventcondensationandiceforming,allowcookedfood
tocooldowntoambienttemperaturebeforeclosingthelid
ofthedishandbeforestorage.
• Leavethefreezerlidopenasbrieyaspossibletoavoid
wasteofenergyandtopreventanexcessiveamountofice
formingintheappliance.
• Iftheredindicator-lightgoesonunexpectedlyorstaysonfor
alongperiod,donotopenthelidonanyaccountandtake
theappropriatemeasuresimmediately
• Donotuseascrewdriverorothermetalobjectstoremove
thelayerofice.Theinteriorwallsareverydelicateandwill
nottolerateanysharpedges.Useonlyplasticorwooden
scrapers.
Cleaning and maintenance
Forthe upkeep of the external appearance ofyour appliance,
nowandagaincleanwithfurniturepolishorotherenamelpro-
tectingproduct(never,onanyaccount,useitintheinside.Clean
thesealwithwarmwaternowandagainwithoutusinganyclea-
ningproduct.
Ifyourappliancehasacondenserintherearinside,fromtimeto
timeremovedirtanddust.Dustanddirtimpedereleaseofheat
from the inner compartment and considerably increases con-
sumptionofenergy.Forbestresults,usealightbrushorduster
toremovedustfromthecondenserontherearwall.
Ifyouleaveyourapplianceout ofuse foranextendedperiod
(e.g.whenonholidays),leaveitopentopreventodoursbuilding
upinside.Forapplianceswithlocks:whenthechestlidisopen,
alwayssetthelockin“closed”positionandkeepthekeywell
awayfromsmallchildrentopreventaccidents.
Wheniceandfrostlayersformontheinnerwallsuptoacer-
tainthickness,theyactasaninsulationelementandpreventthe
coldnessbeingreleasedfromtheinnerwalls.
Theymustberemovedfromtimetotime.
Toremoveicefromtheinnerwalls,useaplasticorwoodscraper
withoutsharpedges.
Coverthefrozenfoodwithaclothwhichaidstocollectthescra-

Defrosting
Undernormalconditions(3to4openingsperday)thefreezer
must be defrostedonce or twicea year (more oftenin other
cases).
Danger warning:Neveruseelectricalappliancestodefrostthe
chestfreezer,e.g.hairdryer,fanheater,ordeviceswithanaked
ame(e.g.candles).
Plasticintheinnercompartmentcanmeltandescapinggascan
beignitedbysparksornakedames.
Proceed as follows:
• Provideasuitablenon-metalliccontainer(plasticcontainer
orwash-basket).
• Makeabsolutelysurethatyouremovetheplugfromthe
powersocket.
• Dryyourhandsthoroughlytopreventskindamagebycon-
tactwithice(itisadvisabletousegloves).
• Removeallfrozenfoodfromthefreezer,rollitrmlyin
newspaper,putitintothecontainer,placethecontainerina
cool,dryroom.
• Coverupthecontainerallaroundwithathickblanket.
• Lifttheseparator(e)(notallmodelsareequipped)upwards
outoftheguide-railofthefreezer.
• Usethedivider(sofarasprovided)asadefrostingdishand
pushitonthesideunderthefreezer–wherethedefrosting
waterdrain-plugislocated.
