using freezing compartment
The freezer compartment enables you to preserve frozen food,
freeze fresh produce and to produce ice cubes.
Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the
faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities. To
speed the freeze process up you can set the thermostat to the
highest setting and return the setting to the normal position
when the food is frozen.
Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as
possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost during
transport.
The length of time you can keep food depends very much on
the quality of the food.
The table below gives the recommended storage times for
frozen fresh foods.
Food
Months
Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the
freezer which will freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles to
break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep
lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the freezer.

tips
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy
use. Keep the refrigerator in a position away from direct
sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to
higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the
weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to
close it as soon as possible.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow
the cool air to circulate. Therefore don't place any food items
against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the
circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has
cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is
poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

Food
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of
dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the
energyconsumption is substantially higher.

defrosting
Defrosting of the refrigerator compartment is completely
automatic.
Droplets of water on the rear wall of the refrigerator
compartment indicate that the periodic automatic defrost
cycle is in progress. The defrost water is automatically routed to
a drain outlet and into a container from which it evaporates.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches
a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Keep the contents of the freezer in
a cool place and wrapped in blankets or newspapers. Switch
the thermostat off. Defrost the freezer compartment. You can
speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water
in the freezer. Clean and dry the freezer. Switch the thermostat
on to the right setting. When the freezer compartment reaches
its correct temperature, replace the food items.
Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects,
defrost sprays, a hair-drier, a heater, or similar items. This may
lead to unsafe situations and may cause irreparable damage to
the appliance.
