Freezing food

The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
You can use the appliance for freezing fresh
food as well as for storing pre-frozen food.
Please refer to the recommendations given
on the packaging of your food.
Attention
Do not freeze fizzy drinks, as the bottle may
burst when the liquid in it is frozen.
Be careful with frozen products such as
coloured ice-cubes.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 hours. See the rating label.
In order to maintain the quality of the food, the
freezing must be effected as rapidly as possible.
Thus, the freezing capacity will not be
exceeded, and the temperature inside the
freezer will not rise.
Attention
Keep the already deep-frozen food always
separated with freshly placed food.
When deep-freezing hot food, the cooling
compressor will work until the food is completely
frozen. This can temporarily cause excessive
cooling of the refrigeration compartment.
If you find the freezer door difficult to open just
after you have closed it, don't worry. This is
due to the pressure difference which will
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing
the door. This is quite normal.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and
place it in the freezer.
As soon as the water has turned into ice, you
can take out the ice cubes.
Never use sharp objects such as knives or
forks to remove the ice cubes. There is a risk
of injury!
Let the ice cubes slightly thaw instead, or put
the bottom of the tray in hot water for a short
moment.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food are going to be
frozen, push the fast freeze switch 24 hours
before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep fast freeze
switch on 24 hours to freeze maximum amount
of fresh food declared as freezing capacity.
Take special care not to mix frozen food and
fresh food.

Defrosting of the appliance

Excessive build-up of ice will affect the freezing
performance of your appliance.
It is therefore recommended that you defrost
your appliance at least twice a year, or
whenever the ice build-up exceeds 7 mm.
Defrost your appliance when there is only little
or no food in it.
Take out the deep-frozen food from the
drawers. Wrap the deep-frozen food in several
layers of paper, or a blanket, and keep it in a
cold place.
Unplug the appliance or switch off the circuit
breaker to start the defrosting process.
Take out the accessories (like shelf, drawer
etc.) from the appliance (Fig. 4) and use a
suitable container to collect the thawing water.
