Attention:
The ambient temperature, the temperature of the recently stored food and the frequency by means of which the door is
opened, have an effect on the temperature in the freezer. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.
• superfreeze is deactivated automatically after 24 hours or when the thermostat sensor gets below -32°C.
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the
freezer, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• A 5 minute delay function is used to prevent damage to the freezer's compressor when you
remove the plug and insert it in the socket again to switch on the freezer or during a power interruption. Your freezer
starts working normally after 5 minutes.
ACCESSORY
Ice cube mould
• Fill the ice cube mould with water and place it in the freezer section.
• Once the water is fully frozen, you can bend the mould as shown below in order to remove the ice cubes.

placing food in the appliance
The freezer offers you the possibility to store deep-frozen products, freeze fresh foods and make ice cubes.
• Do not freeze too much at once. The quicker the freezing process, the longer the quality of the food is maintained.
• Ensure that the foods are properly packaged, so that flavour is maintained and no odour is given off to other foods.
• Place the deep-freeze products in the freezer compartment as quickly as possible after purchase. Make sure they do not
defrost during transport.
• Storage of freshly frozen and deep-freeze products depends on the type of food.
• Properly package fresh foodstuffs and properly close the packaging. The packaging must be air-tight and should not leak.
Special freezer bags, aluminium film (double packaging in case of doubt) or freezer containers are ideal.
• Write packaging date and contents on the packaging if you want to freeze leftovers.
• Do not place hot food in the freezer.
• Do not place glass bottles or cans in the freezer compartment. These can break when the contents freezes. Carbonated
drinks could even explode. Therefore never store lemonade, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the freezer compartment.
• Once the foods have defrosted, they should never be frozen again. Cook or bake them before you can freeze them again.
• In the case of a power interruption or breakdown, the freezer section will retain a temperature that is low enough to store
the foods. But try not to open the door of the freezer section too often, so that the temperature does not rise.
• Try not to open the door too often and do not leave the door open for any longer than necessary.
• The use-by date and recommended temperature for storing deep-freeze products are stated on the packaging. Observe
the storage instructions on the packaging. If it does not contain any information, you should never store the food for
longer than three months.

cleaning and maintenance
Before cleaning the freezer, switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the socket.
Clean the inside of the freezer. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda in
order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the freezer after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything
dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The drawers can be removed from the freezer easily and washed by hand.
These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Clean the outside of the freezer and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.
Clean the rear of the freezer at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain
clean and the freezer is able to function as optimal as possible.
