Storing Food - BOMANN GS 176 NoFrost Gebrauchsanweisung

During initial operation, set the temperature control to the highest setting first, until the device has
reached the desired operating temperature. Afterwards it is recommended to turn the control back to a
medium setting, correcting the temperature at a later point would then be easier.
Super Freeze (Quick-freeze)
With pressing the button "Super Freeze" the device is working with a faster freezing procedure.
The LED „Super" is lightening.
Alarm
If the freezing operation is broken or without power supply during a long period, the inside temperature
can be increase. If the temperature rise up to -10° C the LED "Alarm" is lightening for warning.

Storing food

The freezer allows you to store frozen food at a temperature of -18° C or below (from a middle
temperature control setting) for several months, to produce ice cubes and to freeze fresh good.
The temperature of the device is automatically controlled by the temperature control.
Due to external influences such as room temperature, placements, frequency of opening the door and
the amount of food the temperature in the freezer can be influenced.
Freezing
• 24 hours before freezing we recommend to push the button Super Freeze and to keep this setting
even after freezing for a few hours. The device is not compromised if the Super Freeze will not re-
vert to a medium operating control after the freezing process, but for economic reasons you should
possibly avoid it.
• Place fresh food to be frozen in the upper compartment. In order for that to be always possible,
frozen food items need to be rearranged frequently.
• Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to the core. Therefore during freezing operation,
the temperature of fresh food should be lowered as fast as possible in order to keep formation of
ice crystals as little as possible and not to damage the food structure.
• If the freezing process is too slow, ice crystals build up and the food quality might get affected.
• Even frozen food should be stored in the lower compartments, in order to keep the upper com-
partment available for fresh food.
• Frozen food should be kept in contact with the bottom of the compartment.
• Keep a space between the single items for air circulation.
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
please observe the storage information on the packaging of the merchandise.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does not rise above -18°C.
Moreover the device should be defrosted regularly. A thick layer of ice on the wall deteriorates the
cooling effect and the power consumption increases.
Safety precautions
• Do not store sizzling drinks in this device, such as mineral water, beer, sparkling wine, coke etc.
(risk of explosion).
• 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.
• In case of power failure, do not open the door. If the failure does not take longer than 10 hours, the
food will not be affected.
• Do not store bottles or cans. These can break when the contents freeze – or even explode, if they
contain carbonated drinks.
• 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 device can cause symptoms similar to burns if the skin is very sen-
sitive.
• Do not touch frozen food with moist or wet hands; they could freeze to the items.
• For safety reasons, the freezer compartments feature a stopper. But they can also be removed
completely by pulling them upwards and then removing them. Reattach in reverse order.
