[. . . ] 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!). This symbol guides you step by step in the operation of the appliance. 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. [. . . ] Goods to be refrigerated can be loaded immediately after switching on, because the storage temperature in the refrigerator is quickly reached. Wait until the freezer compartment has reached a temperature of ­18 °C before storing frozen food. 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. 35 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. Switching the Appliance Off Refrigerator and freezer compartments can not be switched off independently of one another. To switch off, turn the temperature regulator to position "0". If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: Turn the temperature regulator to position "0". Unplug the appliance, or pull or unscrew the fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Leave doors open after defrosting to avoid accumulation of odours. Opening the Freezer Compartment Door If the freezer compartment door is closed when the appliance is in operation, it is possible that it cannot be immediately opened again, because a vacuum occurs in the freezer compartment which holds the door closed until pressure has been equalised. The door can be opened again after several minutes. 36 Interior Accessories Storage Shelves/Storage Racks Depending on the model, your appliance is equipped with either glass storage shelves or storage racks. A glass storage shelf must always remain inserted into the lower guide track above the fruit and vegetable trays, so that fruits and vegetable remain fresh longer. The remaining storage shelves can be adjusted to various heights: Pull the storage shelf forward and remove. · Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste-like goods, because liquids expand during freezing. Note for inspection authorities: Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer. 39 Frozen Storage Attention!Before initial loading of the freezer compartment with previously frozen goods, the required storage temperature of -18°C must be reached. The freezer door storage compartment (2 stars) serves only for storage purposes at -12 °C. Storage time: 2-3 weeks, depending on food. · Load freezer compartment 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. Preparation of Ice Cubes Your freezer is equipped with a specific holder in order to place the ice cube tray you will find inside your appliance. (see figure) Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer com-partment and allow to freeze. To remove the finished ice cubes twist the ice cube tray or hold under running water for a short time. Do not, under any circumstances, free an ice tray which is frozen to the appliance with pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a spoon-handle or similar object. Defrosting The refrigerator is defrosted automatically The integrated evaporator on the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment is defrosted fully automatically.
