Note
Food which gives off or absorbs odours
and flavours as well as liquids should
always be stored covered or in closed
containers.
High- percentage alcohols should be
tightly sealed and stored upright.

Saving energy

- Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation open-
ings or grille.
- Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a
cooker, radiator or similar object.
- The energy consumption depends on the installation conditions,
e.g. the ambient temperature.
- Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
- Store food logically.
- First cool warm food to room temperature before storing it.
- Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator.

Freezer compartment

- Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for storage. This
will prevent frost from forming.
- If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the ap-
pliance.
Freezer compartment
You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes
and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a temperature
of -18°C and lower.
The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermom-
eter or other instruments, may fluctuate.

Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen to core as quickly as possible.
You can freeze up to 2 kg/24 hours.
• Set the temperature to 5°C or lower
• Wait 4 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer.
• After approx. 24 hours the fresh food will be frozen.
• Now set the temperature to the normal setting.
Deep frozen food can be placed into the cold freezer compart-
ment straight away.
CAUTION
Do not freeze bottles and cans of drinks. They
can burst during the freezing process.
Notes on freezing
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not
exceed the stated storage time for the food.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for
thawing. Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals
as quickly as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice cube tray with water.
• Place the ice cube tray in the appliance
and leave it to freeze.
• The ice cubes can be removed from the tray by twisting or by
holding upside down for a short time under running water.
