7. Saving energy
This appliance complies with energy efficiency class A++. In
order to achieve the lowest possible energy consumption,
please note the following instructions:
•
Position the appliance in a location with the lowest possi-
ble ambient temperature, but not colder than +10 °C.
• Do not position the appliance in the proximity of heat
sources such as an oven, a radiator or another cooling
device.
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• Always ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around
the appliance. Observe the minimum clearances speci-
fied in these instructions.
• Use the Superfrost function only when using the appli-
ance for the first time and in the period from 24 hours be-
fore to 24 hours after storing relatively large quantities of
freshfood.
• Defrost the freezer regularly. A layer of ice increases the
energy consumption.
• Pack food so that it is air- and water-tight. This prevents
additional ice formation.
• Ensure that the food stored in the freezer is well-labelled
and clearly sorted. This saves time when opening the
door to remove the food.
• Open the door as infrequently and as briefly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down to room temperature be-
fore freezing it.
• A door seal that is not air-tight increases the energy con-
sumption. Check from time to time whether the door seal
is correctly in contact all the way round.
8. Useful information about deep-
freezing
• After defrosting, deep-frozen food must be consumed as
quickly as possible and must not be re-frozen under any
circumstances. There is only one exception: if you defrost
raw ingredients and then cook them fully, the cooked food
may then be frozen again.
Storage of deep-frozen products
• To store food that has already been frozen, you may use
either the storage compartment 8 or the freezing com-
partments 7.
• Do not purchase deep-frozen products that have a cover-
ing of ice. This indicates that they have already been de-
frosted partially.
• Make sure that deep-frozen products do not begin to de-
frost on the journey between the store and your house.
Pack the food in an insulating bag, for instance, and keep
the time until the cheap-frozen products are placed in
your freezer as short as possible.
• Observe the manufacturer's instructions with regard to
storage time and defrosting conditions.
Freezing fresh food
• To freeze fresh food, place the items in the freezing com-
partments 7. When they are completely frozen, you can
store them in any compartment.
• Please make sure that the food items to be frozen to not
touch each other or any other frozen food items.
• The maximum quantity of fresh food that you can freeze
in this appliance within 24 hours is 10.5 kg.
• Please check the quality and freshness of food that you
want to freeze.
