meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbs, eggs without shells, dairy
products such as cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers such
as soups, stews, cooked meat and
fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts.
■The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually
consumed raw, such as lettuce or
radishes, eggs in shells, grapes,
whole apples, pears and peaches,
hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured
milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and
mayonnaise.
Packing frozen food

in the freezer compartment, switch on
super freezing to prevent an unwanted
temperature rise.
This appliance runs constantly and the
freezer compartment drops to a very low
temperature.
If the max. freezing capacity is to be
used, super freezing must be switched
on for 24 hours before the fresh produce
is placed in the freezer compartment.
Smaller quantities of food (up to 2 kg)
can be frozen without “super freezing”.
Note
When super freezing is switched on,
increased operating noises may occur.
Switching on and off
Fig. "

Sécurité technique
Cet appareil contient une petite quantité
d’un fluide réfrigérant écologique mais
inflammable, le R 600a. Pendant
le transport et la mise en place de
l’appareil, veillez à ne pas endommager
les tuyauteries du circuit frigorifique.
Si le fluide réfrigérant jaillit, il peut
provoquer des lésions oculaires ou
s’enflammer.
Si l'appareil est endommagé
■éloignez de l'appareil toute flamme
nue ou source d'inflammation,
■aérez bien la pièce pendant quelques
minutes,
■éteignez l'appareil puis débranchez la
fiche mâle de la prise de courant,
■prévenez le service après-vente.
Plus l'appareil contient du fluide
réfrigérant et plus grande doit être
la pièce dans laquelle il se trouve. Dans
les pièces trop petites, un mélange gaz-
air inflammable peut se former en cas de
fuite.
Comptez 1 m³ de volume minimum de
la pièce pour 8 g de fluide réfrigérant.
La quantité de fluide présente dans
l'appareil est indiquée sur la plaque
signalétique située à l'intérieur de ce
dernier.
Si le cordon d’alimentation électrique
de cet appareil a été endommagé, il faut
confier son remplacement au fabricant,
au service après-vente ou à une
personne détenant des qualifications
similaires. Les installations et réparations
inexpertes peuvent engendrer des
risques considérables pour l’utilisateur.
Les réparations ne pourront être
réalisées que par le fabricant, le service
après-vente ou une personne détenant
des qualifications similaires.
Il ne faut utiliser que les pièces d'origine
du fabricant. Le fabricant ne garantit que
les pièces d'origine car elles seules
remplissent les exigences de sécurité.
S’il faut allonger le cordon de raccorde-
ment au secteur avec un prolongateur,
procurez-vous-le exclusivement auprès
du service après-vente.
