They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference.

[. . . ] · Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. 0 All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Do not touch frozen goods with wet hands. 0 Place packaged foods in the freezer compartment. Unfrozen goods may not come into contact with already frozen goods, otherwise the frozen goods may start to thaw. Tips: · The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: ­ freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; ­ special cans for frozen goods; ­ extra-thick aluminium foil · The following are suited for sealing bags and wraps: plastic clips, rubber bands or adhesive tape. · Press air out of bags and wraps before sealing, because air encourages drying of frozen goods. · Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly. · 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. 37 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 0 Fill ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water and place in the freezer compartment and allow to freeze. 0 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. The water collects in the discharge trough at the back wall of the refrigerator, and is fed through the discharge opening in the catch tray at the compressor where it is evaporated. Freezer Compartment Defrosting Moisture is precipitated in the form of white frost in the freezer compartment during operation and when the door is opened, especially in the middle at the top. Remove this white frost from time to time with a 38 Defrosting soft plastic scraper, e. g. Do not under any circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The appliance should be defrosted when the thickness of the white frost has reached about 4 mm; but at least once a year in any case.
