Important!
Donotstoreanybottlescontainingliquids.Liquidexpandswhen
frozenandthebottlecanexplode.Neverkeepcontainerswith
explosivesubstances(gaslighters,petrol,etherandthelike)in
thefreezercompartmentoftheappliance.
Whenstoringreadyfrozenfood,youmustobservethemanufac-
turer’sinstructionsonthefoodpackaging.
Deepfrozenice-creamandicelolliesmustbeeatenonlyafew
minutesafterbeingtakenfromtheappliancetoavoidinjuryto
lipsandtongue(dangerofskindetachment).Forthesamerea-
son,avoidtouchingtheinnerwallswithwethands.Weadvise
youtousedefrostedorslightlyfrozenproductswithinshorttime.
Asarule,suchproductsarenotsuitableforre-freezing.
Indicator-lights
Ifyourapplianceisequippedwithindicator-lights,thefollowing
guideexplainswhatismeantbyeachlightup:
A Green=Controllamp,indicatepowerontheappliance.
B Red=Alarm
Thegreencontrollightmustalwaysbeonwhentheapplianceis
connectedtopowerandswitchedon.Itisveryimportanttopay
attentiontothis,becauseintheeventofapowerfailure.
Iftheredindicator-lightgoeson,theremaybeseveralreasons
forthis,namely:
•Firststart-upofappliance
•Restartafterdefrosting
•Fillingfreezerwithfreshfood
Connection to power supply
Yourappliancemustbeconnectedtoapowersockedwithgroun-
ded connection, which is conform to the respective standards
andhasbeeninstalledbyanauthorisedspecialist.
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the power
socket,makeabsolutelysurethatthevoltage(V)ontheappli-
ance’sdata-platecorrespondswiththatofyourmains.
Ifthevoltagediffers,notifytheafter-sales-serviceoryourdealer
immediately,anddonotonanyaccountconnecttheappliance
tothemains.

todecreasetheshockandnoise.
 Theanglebetweenthecompartmentbodyandground
shouldbenomorethan45°
2 Enoughspaceshouldbeleftbetweenthefreezeandthe
wallforventilation.
3 Placethefreezerawayfromheatsourceanddonotexpose
todirectsunshine.
4 Donotinstallwherethereismoistureorwhereitcaneasily
besplashedbywater.
5 Donotplacethefreezeinenvironmentpronetofreezing.
6 Theapplianceshouldnotbeusedinopenairandshouldnot
beexposedtorain.
Adjustment and running
Thestoringtemperature canbeadjustedbythethermostatof
thecompartment.Thethermostatshouldbeadjustedaccording
todifferentenvironmenttemperatureandthefoodbyrotating
theknobofthethermostat.Theknobrotatesclockwisefrom”1”
to“7”(ordirectionarc)andtheinsidetemperatureturnsdown
insummer(anti-clockwiserotation)andupinwinter(clockwise
rotation).Itisusuallyxedtoacertainpointbeforeleavingthe
factory.Donotadjusttoooftenortouchtheotherparts.
Trial running
Pluginandwait.Themarkeddropintemperaturewithinhalfan

Freezing / storage of fresh food
Almostallfreshproductsaresuitableforfreezingandstoragein
theappliance.
Forthemostcommonoftheseproducts,weprovideatablewith

Weadvise you touse commercially availablelabels forfrozen
foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your household to

Thencontinueasfollows
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

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

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
