• Use this setting after switching on the appliance for the first
time, before cleaning, and when adding larger quantities of
food (see “Freezing process”).
• Press the E key – signal light Fgoes on. The function is
automatically deactivated after two days.
If the temperature is too high, the signal light Dwill start flashing
and an intermittent acoustic alarm will be activated. The alarm is
switched off automatically when the freezer has cooled down to a
temperature that no longer presents hazard of food spoiling.
• After the appliance is switched on for the first time, there
is a 24-hour delay in freezer alarm operation, because it is
expected that the temperature in the freezer compartment
has not dropped to an adequately low level. This prevents
unnecessary alarms.
• Acknowledge and turn off the sound alarm by pressing the C
key.
• The sound alarm will be activated every 24 hours if the
temperature in the freezer is not low enough to prevent the
food from spoiling.

between the thinner and the thicker end of the sign.
• A change in the environment temperature will affect the
temperature in the appliance. The thermostat knob setting
should be adjusted accordingly.
Positions towards the thicker part of the sign mean a lower
temperature in the appliance (cooler). Settings towards
the thinner part of the marking mean a higher temperature
(warmer).
• Signal light Dwill be on/will flash when the temperature in the
freezer rises to a level that is too high, and goes off when the
temperature drops back to a level that no longer represents
food spoilage hazard (see section »Troubleshooting«).

Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated
on the label with basic information on the appliance.
If this quantity is exceeded, freezing quality will
deteriorate, as will the quality of the already frozen
food.
• Activate the freezer power boost 24 hours before freezing
fresh food:
- control units I and II: press the Ekey (signal light Fwill
light up),
- control unit III and IV: rotate the dial Ato position
(freezer power boost).
After 24 hours, place the fresh food into the freezing area /
compartments. Fresh food should not be in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer!
• When freezing a minor quantity of food (1-2 kg), activating the
Super Freeze function is not necessary.
• After 24 hours, the food can be moved to other parts of
the freezers and the freezing process can be repeated as
required.
• After the freezing process, rotate the Adial back to the desired
setting (control unit III and IV).
• If the freezer boost is not deactivated manually, it will be
automatically switched off after approximately 2 days. Then
the temperature of the freezer compartment returns to the
most recently set value (knob position remains at ).
• Freezer models NO FROST allow freezing in all drawers, but
not more than 7 kg in any particular drawer, and 4 kg in the
bottom drawer.
• In order to make use of the entire freezer capacity, remove the
drawers and place the food packages directly on the shelf.
The freezer should only be used for freezing food that
is appropriate for freezing. The food should always be
fresh and of adequate quality.
Choose an appropriate packaging for the food and
package it correctly.
The packaging should be airtight and watertight to
prevent loss of humidity or vitamins from the food.
Indicate the type of food, quantity, and freezing date
on each food package.

Freezing fresh food and storing frozen food

302967
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as
possible; therefore, smaller packages should be
preferred. Before freezing, the food should be cooled.
• When storing or using frozen food, observe the manufacturer’s
instructions. Temperature and best before date are indicated
on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in
freezers at temperatures of -18°C or lower.
• Do not buy a food package covered with frost, as this is a sign
that the food has been slightly thawed several times. Such
food is of lesser quality.
• When transporting frozen food, prevent it from defrosting /
thawing. Higher temperature will result in shorter storage time
and deteriorated food quality.
Recommended time for storage in the freezer
Food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
venison from 6 to 8 months
pork from 4 to 6 months
chopped, dice, or ground meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals,
lean fish 3 months
tripes / innards 2 months
smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month
Microorganisms are not destroyed by freezing. After defrosting,
their activity is resumed intensively and the food may perish
quickly. Therefore, use the thawed food as quickly as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food,
particularly fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-eat food.
Remove the cover of the ice mold (only supplied with some
models) and fill it with cold water or other fluid suitable for
freezing, up to the marking. Close it and place in on the freezer
shelf with mold-side down.
The ice mold enables making eight cubes of ice. We recommend
making a stock of ice cubes. To take the cubes from the mold,
pour some cold water over it, shake it, open the cover, and shake
the cubes from the mold.
