Correct use ~ Do not handle frozen food with wet hands. Your hands may freeze to the frozen food. Danger of frost burn. ~ Do not take ice cubes out with your bare hands and never place ice cubes or ice lollies in your mouth straight from the freezer. The very low temperature of the frozen ice or lollies can cause frost burn to the lips and tongue. [...]

~ Do not use a steam-cleaning appliance to defrost or clean the appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit. ~ Do not use any oils or grease on the door seals, as these will cause the seals to deteriorate and become porous with time. ~ If storing food which contains a lot of fat or oil in the appliance or the refrig[...]

To switch the refrigerator section off separately The refrigerator section can be switched off without having to switch o[...]

It is very important to set the correct temperature for storing food in the appliance. Micro-organisms will cause food which is not stored at the correct temperature to deteriorate rapidly. Temperature influences the growth rate of these micro-organisms. Reducing the temperature reduces their growth rate. The temperature in the appliance will rise:[...]

The newly selected temperature will be adopted automatically after a short while. The indicator for the temperature which has been set for the refrigeration section will light up. The indictator for the temperature which has been set for the freezer section will flash until that temperature is reached. The temperature can be set to be slightly cold[...]

This loss of coldness is no cause for concern in the following circumstances: – when the door has been left open for a while, e.g. for removing or storing a large amount of food, – when fresh food is being frozen. However, if the temperature in the freezer section remains above -18 °C for a long time, check that the frozen food has not started[...]

Your appliance has been fitted with a warning system which ensures that the temperature in the freezer section cannot rise unnoticed and to avoid energy being wasted if a door is left open. Activating the alarm system The alarm system is always active. It does not have to be switched on manually. Temperature alarm If the freezer section temperature[...]

– Examples of fruit and vegetables which react strongly to the natural gases given off by other types of fruit and vegetables are: Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons, apples, apricots, cucumbers, tomatoes, pears, nectarines and peaches. Example : Broccoli should not be stored with apples, as apples produce a l[...]

Moving the shelves The shelves can be adjusted according to the height of the food. ^ Raise the shelf, and pull it forwards slightly until the notch at the side is in line with the shelf support. It can then be raised or lowered to the required level. The raised edge at the back must face upwards to prevent food from touching the back of the applia[...]

Maximum freezing capacity To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded.

Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: – in a microwave oven, – in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, – at room temperature, – in the refrigerator (the cold given off by the frozen food helps to keep the other food cold), – in a steam oven. Poultry It is particularly important to observe [...]

Refrigerator section The refrigerator defrosts automatically. Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the refrigerator section whilst it is in use. You do not need to remove this, as it will defrost and evaporate automatically with the warmth generated by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into [...]

Do not let water get into the electronic unit, into the light or into the ventilation gaps. Do not let water get into the condensate channel and drain hole when cleaning.
