Hazard
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable
vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion
or fire.
The freezer compartment
tempera-
ture can be set from 7 °F (-14 °C)
to -15 °F (-26 °C).
We recommend
a setting
of o °F (-18 °C).
Use the freezer compartment:
-
For storing deep4rozen
food.
-
To freeze food.
-
To make ice cubes.
[]
Ensure that the freezer
compartment
door is always
closed.
If the door is open,
the frozen food will thaw.
The freezer compartment
will
become covered
in thick ice.
Also: Energy will be lost due to
high power consumption.
When the freezer compartment
door is closed, a low pressure
occurs, causing a sucking
noise. Wait two to three
minutes until the low pressure
has adjusted
itself.

Freezer calendar
The figures next to the symbols
indicate the permitted
storage
period of the produce
in months.
When purchasing
frozen produce,
observe the date of manufacture
or
sell-by date.
Ice block
If a power failure or malfunction
occurs, the ice blocks can be used
to slow down the thawing process.
The longest storage time is obtained
by placing the ice block directly on
the food in the top compartment.
The ice blocks can also be used to
cool food temporarily,
e.g. in a cold
bag.
Freezing food
Freeze fresh, undamaged
food only.
Keep food which is to be frozen
away from food which is already
frozen. To prevent food from losing
its flavour or drying out, place in
airtight containers.
