freezer compartment will drop to the lowest attainable value. Thus

food can be rapidly frozen to the core and the quality is preserved.

• Press the ActionFreeze button

8.

The

symbol appears in the display.

• For small amounts of frozen food, switch on ActionFreeze

6 hours beforehand, and for the maximum quantity 24 hours

beforehand.

• Place the fresh food in the freezer.

• Depending on the quantity of food placed in the freezer, the

appliance switches back to normal operating mode after 30 to

65 hours.

You should not switch on the ActionFreeze function:

- when placing frozen food in the freezer,

- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.

Notes on freezing

• Pack food which you are freezing yourself in quantities appro-

priate to your household. To ensure that the food freezes right

through, the following quantities should not be exceeded per

pack age: fruit, vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2.5 kg.

• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into con-

tact with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order

to avoid them sticking together.

• 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

57

GB

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.

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically.

Freezer compartment

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up

on the walls of the freezer compartment. This increases energy

consumption.

Important!

Defrost the appliance as soon as the ice thickness is 5 mm.

Otherwise, the drawers cannot be opened and might become

damaged.

• Pull out the plug or switch off the fuse!

• Remove the drawers and glass shelves.

• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool

place.

• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.

• After a defrosting time of approx. 20 minutes, the layer of frost

or ice can be detached from the interior container by hand and

removed.

• Mop up the remaining water with a cloth and clean the appliance.

• Re-insert all parts in the appliance.

CAUTION

Risk of damage to the refrigerant circuit and

flammability hazard due to leaking refrigerant.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other

artificial aids for defrosting other than those

recommended by the manufactur er.

Cold-storage accumulators

In the event of a power failure, the

cold-storage accumulators delay the

temperature increase in the freezer

compartment.

To achieve the best results, place the

frozen accumulators on the frozen food

in the top drawer.

58

Cleaning

Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Discon-

nect from the mains or switch off the fuse!

• Clean the inside and equipment parts with lukewarm water and

a little detergent. Do not use chemical solvents or any cleaning

agents containing sand or acid.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates

into the electrical components or ventilation

grille.

• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

• Clean the drain hole in the refrigerator

compartment with a thin object, e.g.

cotton swab or the like.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate

on the inside of the appliance. It is very

important for servicing purposes.

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking

the possible causes yourself:

• Appliance does not function:

– Is the appliance switched on?

– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?

– Is the fuse intact?

• Loud running noise:

– Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?

– Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects

to vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant

circuit cannot be avoided.

– Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-

ture")?

– Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct

reading?

– Is the ventilation system working properly?

– Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply

and you cannot rectify the fault

yourself, contact the nearest

customer service department
