This document is an instruction manual for a Siemens freezer, available in English. It covers various aspects of the appliance, from safety guidelines to operational features and maintenance.

Function Description

The Siemens freezer is designed for storing frozen food and making ice. It operates within a temperature range of -24°C to -14°C, allowing for long-term preservation of perishable foods without significant loss of quality, flavor, or nutritional value. The appliance is equipped with a fully automatic NoFrost system, which prevents ice buildup in the freezer compartment, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. It also features an ice maker for convenient ice cube production, which starts automatically once the set temperature is reached and stops when the ice cube container is full. The appliance can be connected to a drinking water system for the ice maker function, and it includes a filter cartridge with bypass to filter large particles from the water.

The freezer is Wi-Fi-capable, enabling remote control via a mobile device through the Home Connect app. This connectivity allows users to manage settings and monitor the appliance from their smartphones. The Home Connect system also supports software updates to ensure the appliance's functionality remains current.

Main Menu: Accessible via a dedicated button, the main menu provides access to operating modes, information texts, and settings.
Mode Selection: Users can select various operating modes, with corresponding symbols appearing on the control panel.
Eco Mode: An energy-saving mode that can be switched on or off to optimize power consumption.
Sabbath Mode: This mode switches off all non-essential functions, allowing the appliance to be used on the Sabbath. It can be enabled through the settings menu.

Storage Compartments: The appliance features adjustable storage compartments and shelves, which can be removed and repositioned to accommodate various food items.
Frozen Food Containers: These containers are designed for efficient storage of frozen food, with recommendations to fill the lowest container first for quicker freezing.
Ice Pack: An ice pack is included to help delay the warming of stored frozen food during power failures or faults, and can be used to keep food cool temporarily in a cool bag.
Freezing Fresh Food: Guidelines are provided for freezing fresh and undamaged food, including preparation tips for vegetables, fruits, and other items to retain nutritional value, flavor, and color.

Temperature Alarm: This alarm signals if the freezer compartment becomes too warm, displaying the warmest temperature reached.

Maintenance Features

The manual outlines several maintenance procedures to ensure the appliance's longevity and optimal performance:

Cleaning:
- Display: Clean with a soft microfibre cloth to remove steam or smudges.
- Interior: Disconnect the appliance from power, remove food, and clean with a soft cloth, lukewarm water, and a pH-neutral washing-up liquid. Care should be taken to prevent rinsing water from entering the light or drainage hole. The door seal should be wiped with clean water and dried thoroughly.
- Equipment: Removable parts, such as shelves and containers, can be taken out for cleaning.
- Stainless Steel Surfaces: Use only cleaning agents suitable for stainless steel and a stainless steel cleaning cloth, cleaning in the direction of the grain to prevent scratches.
Ice Cube Container: It is recommended to empty the ice cube container if the appliance is switched off for a prolonged period or during a power failure to prevent damage.
Filter Cartridge with Bypass: This cartridge can be kept permanently and should be cleaned once a year. Instructions are provided for disassembling, cleaning under running water, and reassembling the filter cartridge.
Water Filter (if used): If a water filter is installed, it must be changed regularly. The manual provides steps for replacing the filter cartridge with bypass or installing a new water filter, including instructions for switching on the water filter counter in the settings menu.
Ventilation Openings: Do not cover or block the ventilation openings, and vacuum them once a year to ensure proper air circulation and energy efficiency.
Appliance Self-Test: The appliance has a self-test program that can identify faults, which can then be rectified by Customer Service.
Home Connect Software Updates: The refrigerator periodically checks for and notifies users about available software updates for the Home Connect system, which can be installed via the control panel.
