• All foods must be packed air tight prior to freez-
ing, 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.
1. Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food
to be frozen As shown in figure. Unfrozen food
must not touch items already frozen, otherwise
the frozen food could begin to defrost.
2. Press the fast freeze button 24 hours before
introducing fresh food for freezing of fresh food.
The yellow light comes on.
3. Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type,
as far as possible. Index tabs are supplied for
placing on drawers. To mark the contents of the
individual drawers, press the rider over the corre-
sponding symbol (see "Frozen Food
Symbols/Freezer Calendar" section). This will
give you a better overview of the contents, avoid
extended door opening and therefore save elec-
tricity.
You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food your-
self.
Important!
• The temperature in the freezer compartment
must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on
the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the max-
imum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen
within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze
food several 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 speci-
fied 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 flam-
mable 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. Excep-
tion: high alcohol content spirits can be stored in
the freezer.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing
Calendar
• 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 con-
tain.
