Keeping

foodstuffs

Various temperature zones are available in

the refrigerator. The coldest zone

on the

panel above the vegetable crisper, at the rear.

Wherever possible, produce should be cove-

red or packaged when in the refrigerator, to

prevent drying out and the transfer of taste

from one food to another.

The following foods are not suited to storage

in a refrigerator:

sliced lemons, pineapples, onions and garlic

(because of the strong smells given

off).

bread and potatoes (they dry out).

semi-ripe fruit and vegetables (e.g. toma-

toes) will not continue to ripen.

bananas go bad very quickly because of their

sensitivity to coldness.

The function of the indicator lamps

The

green indicator lamp

flashes when

the appliance

switched on and when the tem-

perature in the freezing compartment deviates

from a set value (e. g. when the door has been

kept open too long or when new foodstuffs

are being loaded). It lights up continuously as

soon as the selected temperature has been rea-

ched in the interior.

The

red warning lamp

B flashes until the

freezing compartment

ready for operation,

then

goes out.

lights up again

the tempe-

rature in the freezing compartment rises (e. g.

when the door has been kept open too long or

when new foodstuffs are being loaded etc.). In

such cases switch to superfreezing

until the

red warning lamp goes out again. If

remains

lit

for an extended period of time, check that

the temperature selector

set correctly, or

whether there

a fault (see notes under

"Faults").

The

yellow superfreeze indicator lamp

lights up when superfreezing

activated.

goes out when superfreezing

switched off

manually or or automatically (after approx. 24

hours).

Freezing food

Freezing capacity:

do not attempt to free-

ze more food in 24 hours than

stated (in kg)

under "Freezing Capacity" on the Rating Label

at the bottom inside the freezer section.

Wrap the items to be frozen and place them

flat side down directly on the floor of the

basket, where they will freeze through to the

core in the shortest possible time.

Superfreezing

To achieve rapid freezing, press the super-

freeze button

24 hours before loading food-

stuffs. The yellow superfreeze indicator button

lights up. After approx. 24 hours this lamp goes

out automatically. The appliance switches to

"normal operation".

With smaller volumes of foodstuffs, super-

freezing can be switched off manually after just

a few hours.

Small volumes up to

10%

of the freezing

capacity can be loaded anywhere without swit-

ching to superfreezing.

When loading foodstuffs which are already

frozen, all baskets can be completely filled. The

superfreeze button does not need to be pres-

sed.

Fresh foods should not be mixed with

already-frozen food; before freezing more

food, wait

least 24 hours after fresh food has

been put in the freezing basket before moving

to the other baskets for storage.

Defrosting or defrosted food should be used

at once, or prepared (cooking, roasting)

should never be re-frozen. Only after defrosted

food has been cooked can

be re-frozen.

Storing frozen food

Limiting the number of times the door

ope-

ned, and the time

left open, will keep down

the electricity consumption. Arrange your food

in an orderly fashion in the storage baskets.

Make out records of the type of food and the

"consume

by"

dates on the storage record

cards provided. Preferably, use a soft lead

grease

pencil,

that the writing can easily be

wiped off.

The allowable storage time depends on the

type of foods. With proprietary frozen foods,

the storage time

given on the package.

If the light does not come on when the door

opened, press the actuator in a few times to

the door has

been left open for a long time just before.

When neither of these factors seems to be

the reason for the light not coming on, the bulb

should be replaced.
