Temperature control
The temperature control automatically regulates the temperature inside the different compartments.
Min cold setting
Normal colder (normal) setting
Max coldest setting
Super intense freezing
Following a power interruption, or if the unit has been switched off on
purpose, it may take 3 to 5 minutes before it switches on again.
15

Super – intense freezing:
With the Intensive freezing setting, the compressor works permanently without any interruption,
causing the temperature inside the unit to drop quickly and thereby helping to freeze fresh food
more quickly. Once the food is sufficiently frozen, the temperature control should be set back to the
desired position.
Note: The operating temperature in the freezer largely depends on factors such as the ambient
temperature and that of the food to be newly frozen. It also depends on how often the door is opened
and how long it remains open. If necessary, the temperature control setting may be adjusted
accordingly.
Freezing and storing food
– With an operating temperature of –18°C and below, the various freezer compartments can be
used to store frozen or pre-frozen food for several months, to make ice cubes and to freeze fresh
food.
– To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are not lost, fresh food should be deep-
frozen right through as quickly as possible. Caution: Do not exceed the maximum freezing
capacity per day. The product data sheet contains details of the maximum daily freezing capacity.
Spread it out well in the freezer compartment and avoid contact with food that has already been
frozen.
– Prior to freezing, fresh food (e.g. meat, fish, minced meat) should be divided into smaller
portions suitable for use after thawing).
– When storing pre-frozen food, strict attention should be paid to the manufacturer’s information
provided on the packaging. If no such information is to be found, however, a storage period of 3
months from the date of purchase must not be exceeded.
– When buying frozen food, verify that the food is properly frozen, and that the packaging does
not show any sign of damage.
– To maintain the quality of deep-frozen food, it should be transported only in suitable containers
and then placed inside the freezer compartments without delay.
– Carefully check the packaging when buying frozen food: if the packaging shows signs of
moisture, has bubbled up or is bulging, the food may not have been stored properly and has
spoiled.
– The storage times for frozen foods largely depend on the ambient temperature, the temperature
control setting, the type of food and the time between shop and freezer, but mainly also on how
often the freezer door is opened and how long it remains open. Always follow the instructions
given on the food packaging, and do not exceed the specified maximum storage times.
– Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic foil, bags
or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use and then checked for
air-tightness before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item stored
in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date.
– Do not deep-freeze any carbonated liquids, warm food or any liquids in glass containers or
bottles.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed these
storage times.
16

– If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg during a power failure), the door
should be kept closed; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet.
The product data sheet contains detailed information of the maximum safe storage time in case
of malfunction.
– It should be noted, however, that even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten the
storage life of the food.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray ¾ full with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left
standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
De-frosting and cleaning
After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the door has been
opened), a layer of ice will form on the evaporators located below the drawers and on the drawer fronts
themselves. Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 4 mm, the unit must be de-frosted.
The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance.
When de-frosting the unit
– Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket,
– Remove all food from the freezer, place it into a plastic container, add pre-frozen freezer-packs
and cover the container to keep the inside temperature down.
– To accelerate defrosting, one or several containers with hot (but not boiling) water may be placed
inside the freezer compartment.
– Do not pour water over or inside the unit.
Warning: Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to accelerate
de-frosting.
– For frequent cleaning we recommend the use of warm water with some mild detergent. Any
accessories should be cleaned separately with soapy water. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
– Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions or any cleaning agents that contain alcohol.
– After cleaning, thoroughly clean all surfaces again with fresh water before wiping them
completely dry. When re-inserting the plug into the wall socket ensure that you have dry hands.
– Turn the temperature control to its maximum setting. After 24 hours, the temperature control
can be returned to its normal setting.
– Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate inside the cabinet during cleaning.
– To save energy, the condenser and the compressor (at the rear) should be cleaned carefully at
17

least twice a year with a hand-brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Trouble-shooting
Certain typical sounds can be heard when the appliance is switched on. These sounds are:
– caused by the electrical motor within the compressor assembly;
during compressor start-up the sound level will be slightly higher
for a limited period of time.
– caused by the cooling agent flowing through the circuit.
The following table lists the possible malfunctions, their probable causes and solutions. In the event
of operational problems, check first whether a solution can be found using this table. If the problem
persists, disconnect the appliance from the mains power and contact our Customer Service Departm
