Storing Frozen Food; Making Ice; Defrosting The Freezer Compartment - Siemens KG M Série Mode D'emploi

Storing frozen food

S To ensure good air circulation in the
appliance, insert the freezer drawers all
the way.
S If large quantities of food are to be
stored in the freezer, all the freezer
drawers (except the bottom one) can be
taken out of the appliance and the food
stacked directly on the freezer shelves.
To remove a freezer drawer, pull out all
the way, lift at the front and remove.
Storage duration
To prevent a reduction in the quality of the
frozen food, the permitted storage
duration at -18 °C should not be exceed.
The storage period depends on the type
of produce. When purchasing frozen
produce, observe the date of manufacture
or sell by date.
Note
Also follow the storage recommendations
which you are given via the appliance
control.

Making ice

Warning
Do not use electric ice makers in the
freezer compartment.
Making ice cubes
(not all models)
Ice cube trays are available from specialist
outlets.
Fill the ice cube tray ¾ full of water and
place in the freezer compartment. Use
the top freezer drawer to accelerate the
freezing process.
To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice tray
slightly or hold briefly under flowing water
(Fig. 7).
Defrosting the freezer
compartment
Risk of electric shock
!
Do not use a steam cleaner. Steam may
come into contact with electrical compo
nents and cause a short circuit or an
electric shock.
Do not remove frost with a knife or
pointed object.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit
tubes.
Leaking refrigerant may cause eye injuries
and is flammable.
Do not use electrical appliances or naked
flames in the appliance.
Note
Thick frost or ice on the freezer shelves
will impair the performance of the ap
pliance and increase the power con
sumption.
If the layer of frost is approx. ½ cm thick,
the freezer compartment must be de
frosted. Nevertheless, defrost the freezer
compartment at least once or twice a
year. The best time to defrost is when
there is little or no food in the appliance.
Approx. 4 hours before defrosting the
appliance, switch on fast freeze so that
the food drops to a very low temperature
and can therefore be stored at room
temperature for a longer period.
