and to store them as fast as possible in the freez-
er.
 It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time. The period might vary, so observe the stor-
age information on the packaging of the mer-
chandise.
 Make sure that the temperature in the freezer
does not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit
should be defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer
deteriorates the cooling and increases the power
consumption.
General safety precautions
 Do not store bottles or cans. 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 eat food that is still frozen. Do not eat ice
cream directly from the freezer. The cold can
cause injuries in the oral cavity.
 Touching metal parts inside the unit can cause
symptoms like burns if the skin is very sensitive.
 Never touch frozen food with moist or wet hands.

If the appliance is out of use for long periods:
 Remove the appliance content.
 Defrost (model dependent) and clean the appli-
ance thoroughly (see
nance"
).
 Leave open the appliance door to avoid formation
of mold and unpleased odors.
Tips for Energy saving
 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply if
it isn't in use.
 Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
 Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
 Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
model) in their original position.
 Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
 Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
 Open the unit door only as necessary.
 Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
 The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.
