BOMANN GS 7232.1 Bedienungsanleitung, Garantie Seite 18

During initial operation, turn the temperature control
to the highest setting first, until the appliance has
reached the desired operating temperature. After-
wards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting; correcting the temperature at a later
point would then be easier.
NOTE:
In generally a low to medium power level works best
for an optimized food storage. A high power level
also increases the energy consumption.
Storing food
NOTE: Recommendation!
To guarantee that the temperature is low enough,
you should pre-cool the appliance a few times before
initial loading foods.
CAUTION:
Always pay attention to the storage instructions on
the sales packaging.
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food.
To avoid contamination of food, respect the following
instructions:
 Opening the door for long periods can cause a
significant increase of the temperature in the
compartments of the appliance.
 Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact
with food and accessible drainage systems (see
"Cleaning and Maintenance").
 Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
 If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
Shelves
Depending on requirements, shelves/drawers (par-
tially and depending on model) can be adjusted in
height or removed to optimize the storage space.
NOTE:
For the most efficient use of energy, place all shel-
ves/drawers in their original position.
Freezing
 Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
 Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
 Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food
 Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a
4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer's data. Make sure the food
items do not defrost after purchase and to store
them as fast as possible in the freezer.
 It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time, up to three months. This period might vary,
so observe the storage information on the pack-
aging of the merchandise.
 Make sure that the temperature in the freezer
does not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit
should be defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer
deteriorates the cooling and increases the power
consumption.
General safety precautions
 Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity.
 Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode, if
they contain carbonated drinks.
