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

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!

In this area, the power cord comes out of the appliance rear.
Free length of the power cord = 2000 mm
Choose the position of the socket considering these specifications.
The socket must not be situated behind the appli-
ance and must be easily accessible.
Important
In order to avoid any problems when installing the appliance and
to avoid damage to the appliance, the following conditions must
be complied with.
The kitchen unit must be aligned horizontally and
vertically.
Minimum wall thickness of the body of the unit = 16 mm.
12 / 6 H = 1524 mm
14 / 6 H = 1778 mm
Appliance venting
Important
The clear ventilation cross-
section must be at least
200 cm² from the lower ven-
tilation opening right to the
upper one.
Types of air outlet
1 Directly above the appliance
2 Above the top unit
3 From the front of the top unit with decor grille
Important
When using decor grilles, it must be taken into account
that the clear ventilation cross-section corresponds
to the sum of the individual openings in the grille.
A cut-out section of merely 200 cm² for installing the
ventilation grille is thus not sucient.
