• 24 hours before freezing we recommend turning the temperature control to the highest power level and to
keep this setting even after freezing for a few hours. The appliance is not compromised if the setting will
not revert to a medium operating temperature after the freezing process, but for economic reasons you
should possibly avoid it.
• Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. Therefore during freezing operation, the tem-
perature of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible in order to keep formation of ice crystals as lit-
tle 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.

• 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 ob-
serve the storage information on the packaging of the merchandise.
NOTE: : : : NOTE NOTE NOTE
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18°C. Moreover the appliance should be
defrosted regularly. A thick layer of ice on the wall deteriorates the cooling effect and the power consumption
increases.

• Do not store bottles or cans in the freezer. These can break when the contents freeze – or even explode, if
they contain carbonated drinks.
• Once products have been defrosted halfway or completely, they should be consumed as soon as possible
and should not be frozen again, except they have been processed to a ready meal.
• Do not open the door in case of power failure. If the failure does not take longer than 20 hours, the food will
not be affected.
• Do not eat food that is still frozen. Do not allow children to eat ice cream directly from the freezer. The cold
can cause injuries in the oral cavity.
• Touching metal parts inside the appliance can cause symptoms similar to burns if the skin is very sensitive.
• Do not touch frozen food with moist or wet hands; they could freeze to the items.
