Improper use can, however, present a risk of both personal injury and material damage. To avoid the risk of accidents and damage to the appliance, read these instructions carefully before installation and before using for the first time. They contain important notes on the installation, safety, operation and care of the appliance.
Warning and Safety instructions Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, make sure that the rating on the data plate corresponds to the voltage and frequency of the household supply. This data must correspond in order to avoid the risk of damage to the appliance. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.
Warning and Safety instructions Use Never handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of frost burn. Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. Do not allow children to play with the appliance, for example to climb inside the drawers or to swing on the door.
Warning and Safety instructions The appliance is designed for use within certain climate ranges (ambient temperatures), and should not be used outside this range. The climate range for your appliance is stated on the data plate inside the appliance. Installing it in a room with too low an ambient temperature, e.g. a garage, will lead to the appliance switching off for longer periods so that it cannot maintain the required temperature.

Switching on and off Before using for the first time Cool pack ^ Clean the inside of the appliance and the accessories with warm water and a little washing up liquid, and then dry with a soft cloth. Place the cool pack in the top drawer. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
Switching on and off Safety lock De-activating the safety lock The safety lock can be engaged to prevent the appliance being switched off inadvertently. To activate the safety lock ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for about 3 seconds. SF will flash, and the safety lock symbol and C will light up in the display. X ^ Press and hold the Super freeze button for about 3 seconds. SF will flash and c will appear in the display. ^ Press the Super freeze button again.
Switching on and off Switching off for longer periods of time If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, ^ switch the appliance off at the mains, ^ withdraw the plug (pull on the plug and not the cable), ^ defrost and clean the appliance out and ^ leave the door ajar to air the appliance. If, during a long absence, the appliance is switched off but not cleaned out and the door is left shut, mould and odours are likely to build up inside the appliance.
The correct temperature It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate.
The correct temperature If you have adjusted the temperature, wait for approx. 6 hours if the appliance is not very full and for approx. 24 hours if the appliance is full before checking the temperature display as it will take this long for the display to show the accurate temperature of the appliance. If, after this time, the temperature is still too high or too low, you will need to adjust it again.
Alarm Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer cannot rise unnoticed. It is always active. Temperature alarm An alarm will sound if the temperature becomes too warm. The temperature display will flash. The alarm sounds and the temperature display flashes if : – the freezer door has been left open for a while, e.g. in order to load, re-arrange or take food out of the freezer. – freezing large quantities of food at once.
Super freeze Freezing fresh food Super freeze Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. This way the nutritional value of the food, its vitamin content, appearance and taste are not impaired. Switch the Super freeze function on before putting fresh food into the freezer. Exceptions: Food which takes a long time to freeze will lose more water from its cells, which then shrink. During the defrosting process only some of this water is reabsorbed by the cells. The rest collects around the food.
Super freeze Switching Super freeze off Depending on the amount of food placed in the freezer, the Super freeze function will switch off automatically after approx. 30 to 60 hours. The indicator light goes out and the appliance continues running at normal power. To save energy the Super freeze function can be switched off once a constant temperature of -18 °C or colder has been reached in the freezer. ^ Press the Super freeze button.
Freezing and storing food Maximum freezing capacity Home freezing To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is given on the data plate "Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs". Only freeze fresh food which is in good condition.
Freezing and storing food – Do not place hot food or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer. Packing ^ Freeze food in portions.
Freezing and storing food Freezer calendar Defrosting The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored for effectively. Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging. Marker system for frozen food Markers serve as a reminder of how long food has been stored. Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials.
Freezing and storing food Ice cubes Cool pack (with or without release button depending on model) The cool pack prevents the temperature in the freezer section rising too quickly in the event of a power cut. Place the cool pack directly on top of the food in the top drawer of the freezer. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours. ^ Press down the release button on the ice cube tray and fill the tray with water.
Defrosting In normal use, ice and frost will form on the evaporator plates. If allowed to accumulate, this will impair the efficiency of the freezer and increase the consumption of electricity. Do not scrape ice and frost off the evaporator plates as this can damage them and render the freezer unusable. The freezer should be defrosted from time to time. It must be defrosted if a layer of ice approx. 5 mm thick has accumulated.
Defrosting After defrosting ^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up any water from defrosting still in the appliance. ^ Clean the appliance and then dry it thoroughly. ^ Close the appliance door, insert the plug in the socket and switch the appliance back on. ^ Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly. The SF indicator light will come on. ^ Once the temperature in the freezer is sufficiently low, place the food back in the freezer drawers and put them back in the freezer.
Cleaning Never use cleaning agents containing abrasive substances such as sand, soda, acids or chemical solvents. "Non-abrasive" cleaning agents are also unsuitable as they can cause matt areas to appear. Make sure that water cannot get into the electronic unit or into the ventilation gaps. Never use steam cleaning apparatus to clean the appliance. Pressurised steam could reach the electrical components and cause a short circuit. The data plate located inside the appliance must not be removed.
Cleaning Metal grille at the back of the appliance The metal grille at the back of the appliance (heat exchanger) should be dusted at least once a year. A build-up of dust will increase the energy consumption of the appliance. When cleaning the grille, make sure that the pipework and other components do not get broken or damaged in any way. After cleaning ^ Close the door and switch the appliance on. ^ Switch on the Super freeze function so that the freezer can cool down quickly.
