Care and Cleaning

Defrosting the freezer

When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be

defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when

there is little or no food inside.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in

newspapers, and keep them in a cold place.

Leave the appliance lid open.

Remove the plug from the water drain.

The defrost water can be collected in a tray as shown

in the drawing. If available, use the divider.

Dry the interior of the appliance thoroughly.

Remember to replace the plug in the water drain.

Important! Never use a knife or any other sharp implement

to remove frost or ice.

Cleaning

The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting.

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply and

remove all loose accessories.

Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water

and a mild, non-aromatic detergent.

Clean the loose accessories, before replacing them

again.

Important! Never use strong detergents, scouring powder

or aromatic detergents to clean your freezer.

When not in use

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

Remove all food from the freezer.

Clean the freezer as described above.

Leave the lid slightly open.

If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen

deteriorates. The amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)

that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated in the chapter

"Technical data" under "Freezing capacity".

Food storage

For fresh frozen food, please refer to the storage

period table underneath.

For purchased frozen food, never exceed the expiry

date.

When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been

stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products

which have wet or damaged packaging. Place

purchased products in your freezer as quickly as

possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to

bring such products home with you.

Important! Remember that fully or partially defrosted food

must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have been

cooked using defrosted food may be frozen.

In the case of a power failure or

breakdown

Do not open the lid.

Important! If the power has been off for longer that the

value shown in the chapter "Technical data" under "Hold-

over time", the defrosted food must be consumed quickly

or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooling).

What to do if...

Try the solutions suggested here first to avoid the cost of an

unnecessary service call.

Your freezer will not operate

Is the power supply cord unplugged?

Has a household fuse blown?

Is there a power failure?

Is the temperature control set to the Off position?

The alarm remains audible and/or the red

light/symbol ( ) is on

Is the lid not closed completely? See underneath for

any obstructions.

Is the temperature control set correctly for the

surrounding conditions?

Is the freezer too close to a source of heat?

The inside light does not work

Is the power supply cord unplugged?

The motor seems to run too much

Is the lid not closed completely? See underneath for

any obstructions.

Is the room temperature hotter than normal?

Has a large amount of fresh food just been added to

the freezer?

Helpful hints and tips

Freezing food

Before freezing, fresh food must be packed in airtight

and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying

out.

Only use fresh food of the best quality.

Always leave hot food to cool to room termperature

before placing in the freezer.

Divide food into small portions before freezing; this

ensures that freezing is more rapid, and that you only

need to defrost the amount needed for immediate

consumption.

Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing.

Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of

the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the

frozen food already in the freezer.

Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer,

but should be kept at least 5 mm below the upper

edge.
