[. . . ] These operating instructions are for use with several technically comparable models with varying accessories. Please observe the notes which apply to your model. 1 Notes which are important for your safety or for the proper functioning of the appliance are stressed with a warning triangle and/ or with signal words (Warning!, Caution!, Attention!). 0 This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. 3 2 Supplementary information regarding operation and practical applications of the appliance appear after this symbol. Tips and notes concerning economical and environmentally sound use of the appliance are marked with the cloverleaf. [. . . ] The compressor starts and then runs automatically. The red warning light illuminates indicating that the required storage temperature has not yet been reached. The warning light switches off automatically when the temperature in the freezer compartment drops again and returns to the setting of the temperature regulator. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature has been reached. 0 After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again to switch off the fast freeze function. Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of ­18 °C, or the red warning light has gone out, before storing frozen food. 3 The red warning light signal an alarm ­ if the appliance door is left open too long; ­ if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; ­ if there is a malfunction in the cooling system. Note: From a food science point of view, +5 °C for the refrigerator compartment and -18 °C for the freezer compartment should be considered cold enough as a storage temperature. The following effects are of significance in respect of the interior temperature: ­ Ambient temperature; ­ Quantity and temperature of the food stored; ­ Frequency with which the door is opened and how long it is left open. 43 Switching the Appliance Off Refrigerator and freezer compartments can be switched off independently of one another. 0 To switch off, turn both temperature regulators to position "·".

Note for inspection authorities: Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer. Frozen Storage Attention!Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached. · Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. · Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. 2 In so far as possible store frozen goods separately according to type in drawers. Some models are provided with index-tabs which can be attached to the drawers. In order to identify the contents of individual compartments, attach the index-tabs so that they cover the storage goods symbols (see section: "Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar").
