Leave door open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Temperature Warning The red warning display flashes and a warning tone sounds as soon as the temperature in the freezer becomes too warm. A rise in temperature may be caused by: ­ frequent door opening for long periods of time; ­ loading with large quantities of warm foods; ­ high ambient temperature; ­ an error with the appliance. You can switch off the warning tone using the FROSTMATIC button. The warning tone switches off automatically if the temperature in the freezer drops again and returns to the setting of the temperature regulator. If the possibility of partial or complete thawing exists, you should check the quality of the foods. 68 818 37 58-02/1 "Open Door"-Warning If the freezer door is left open for longer than 1, 5 minutes, the red warning display will flash and an acoustic warning tone will sound. If you need more time to load or rearrange frozen foods, you can switch off the warning tone by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The red warning display will go off when the door will be closed. 2 Energy Saving Advice · Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator. · Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. · Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the freezer. · Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. · Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. · Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from frozen goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator. · Always keep the condenser at the back of the appliance clean. Opening the door If the door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. If your appliance is equipped with a QUICK door opener - an opening mechanism integrated into the door handle - the door can be opened easily at any time. 818 37 58-02/1 69 Freezing The both uppermost compartments are best suited for freezing. · The temperature in the freezer compartment must be ­18 °C or colder before freezing food. · Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be frozen within a period of 24 hours.

They have a relatively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the warmth from the food stored in the fridge or freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and vaporise. · Refrigerant Circuit Closed circulation system that contains the refrigerant.
