Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or
bags, or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use; check that the
package is air-tight before freezing the food. We strongly recommend that you label every item
stored in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by
date.
–
Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm food or any kind of bottled liquids.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below.
Do not exceed these storage times.
However, always observe the manufacturer's use-by dates for the frozen food.

If the unit remains switched off for an extended period (eg during a power failure), the door
should be kept closed; this will help to maintain the lowest possible temperature in the cabinet.
The product data sheet at the end of this manual contains detailed information of the maximum
safe storage time in case of malfunction. Even a slight rise in the inside temperature will shorten
the storage life of the food.
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray ¾ full with drinking water and
place it in the freezer compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray is left
standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
De-frosting and cleaning
After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the door has
been opened), a layer of ice will form on the evaporators located below the drawers and on the
drawer fronts themselves. Once the build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, the unit
must be de-frosted.
The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance.
The cabinet freezer should be thoroughly cleaned at least twice a year.
–
Always remove the plug from the wall socket before the unit is defrosted.
–
Remove all food from the freezer cabinet, wrap it in newspaper and store it in a cool place to
keep the temperature down. Note that, even with a slight increase in temperature, the storage life
will be shortened and the food should be used as soon as possible.
–
Take off the covering panel.
