moisture, has bubbled up or is bulging, the food may not have been stored properly and
has spoiled.
- The storage times for frozen foods largely depend on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting, the type of food and the time between shop and freezer, but
mainly also on how often the freezer door is opened and how long it remains open.
Always follow the instructions given on the food packaging, and do not exceed the
specified maximum storage times.
- For any type of food that is to be frozen, whether self-prepared dishes or other food, the
quick-freeze compartment – the upper compartment with the door – with its higher
cooling efficiency should be used.
- Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent (i.e. non-coloured) plastic
foil, bags or aluminium foil. The packaging materials should be well aired before use and
then checked for air-tightness 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.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed
these storage times.
- The storage time will decrease if the internal temperature has increased, e.g. as a result
of malfunction
Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill the tray
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
- Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
- Do not pour water over the unit.
- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
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.
When de-frosting the unit
- Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket,
