Freezing and Storing Frozen Food
The freezer compartment is for freezing and storing food.
Important!
The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or colder
before freezing fresh food or storing food already frozen.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time (max. 2 kg per 24hrs).
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 specified by the manufacturer.
Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
1. All foods must be packed into airtight packages or containers prior to
freezing, 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 stick to
the food causing skin abrasions.
2. Lay the packaged food on the base of the freezer compartment. Unfrozen
food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could
begin to defrost.
Tips:
The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:
- freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;
- special cans for frozen goods;
- extra–thick aluminium foil.
The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrappings:
plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for the
frozen food to dry out.
Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.
Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–like
goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

20
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer
compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer
compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects, since you may damage
the refrigerating circuit. Use the plastic scraper.
Defrosting
The Fridge Defrosts Automatically
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is running,
and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the thawing frost
evaporates by itself.
The refrigerator automatically defrosts every time the compressor stops. The
water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located below the appliance,
where it evaporates.
Important! To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically
clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at
the back of the refrigerator compartment behind the salad drawer(s). Use the
special cleaner provided which you will find already inserted into the
discharge hole.
While in operation the ****-star compartment becomes progressively covered
with frost.
This frost, which acts as an insulator and thus prevents the cold from
reaching the food should be removed whenever the thickness of the frost
exceeds 6 mm (1/4”).
To carry out complete defrosting
proceed as follows:
1. Remove any food from inside the ****-
star compartment, wrap it in several
sheets of newspaper and store in a cool
dry place.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to position
<< 0 >>. To accelerate defrosting,
place a bowl of hot water inside the
compartment (with a piece of
cardboard underneath the bowl as
protection).
