preserved.

symbol appears in the display.

Freezing
The maximum amount of food
(in kg) which can be frozen in
24 hours is shown on the type
plate ("Freezing capacity").
Notes on freezing
• Always store identical food items together.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exceed
the stated storage time for the food.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator
Defrosting
After a longer period of operation a layer of frost or ice can build up
on the cooling plates in the freezer compartment. This will increase
the energy consumption of the freezer.
The cooling plates should therefore be defrosted regularly.
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Remove the plug.
• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool
place.
• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting.
After defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the ap-
pliance.
Do not use any mechanical devices or other
artificial aids for defrosting other than those
recommended by the manufactur er.
Cleaning
Clean the appliance at least twice per year.
Before cleaning, always switch off the appliance. Disconnect
from the mains or switch off or unscrew the fuse.
• Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm
water and a little detergent.
Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the
risk of injury and damage.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates
into the electrical components or ventilation
grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The dust should be removed from the
refrigeration unit and heat exchanger - metal
grid at the back of the appliance - once a
year.
• Do not damage or remove the type plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important
for servicing purposes.
