The symbols show different types of frozen
goods.
The numbers indicate storage times in
months for the appropriate types of frozen
goods. Whether the upper or lower value of
the indicated storage time is valid depends
on the quality of the foods and treating be-
fore freezing.
Storage of frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out
of use, before putting the products in the
compartment let the appliance run at least
2 hours.
The freezer drawers ensure that it is quick
and easy to find the food package you
want. If large quantities of food are to be
stored, remove all drawers except for the
bottom drawer which needs to be in place
to provide good air circulation. On all
shelves it is possible to place food that pro-
trude until 15 mm from the door.

Helpful hints and tips

Normal Operating Sounds
• You may hear a faint gurgling and a
bubbling sound when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing. This
is correct.
• When the compressor is on, the refriger-
ant is being pumped around and you will
hear a whirring sound and a pulsating
noise from the compressor. This is correct.

Important! In the event of accidental
defrosting, for example due to a power
failure, if the power has been off for longer
that the value shown in the technical
characteristics chart under "rising time", the
defrosted food must be consumed quickly or
cooked immediately and then re-frozen
(after cooling).
Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being
used, can be thawed in the refrigerator
compartment or at room temperature, de-
pending on the time available for this oper-
ation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still fro-
zen, directly from the freezer: in this case,
cooking will take longer.
Ice-cube production
This appliance is equipped with one tray for
the production of ice-cubes.
1. Fill the tray with water.
2. Put the tray in the freezer compartment
Important! Do not use metallic instruments
to remove the tray from the freezer.
• The thermic dilatation might cause a sud-
den cracking noise. It is natural, not dan-
gerous physical phenomenon. This is cor-
rect.
• When the compressor switches on or
switches off, you will hear a faint "click" of
the temperature regulator. This is correct.
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
