[. . . ] ARCTIS 189 GT ARCTIS 261 GT Chest freezer Operating Instructions 820 41 72 36 Dear customer, Before placing your new chest freezer into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. [. . . ] If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Then leave the lid open to avoid odours. Maximum capacity / Stacking limit To be able to store larger quantities or bulky products for freezing you can remove all the storage baskets. The appliance will still function safely if used in this way. Do not stack the products higherthan the lower edge of the plastic frame. Freezing Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section on the left of the dividing partition as long as it does not come into contact with previously frozen food. Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or colder. Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time. 14 Turn the control knob to SUPER. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. Turn the control knob to SUPER 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave the control knob set to SUPER for a further 24 hours. Return the control knob to a medium setting. The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to return the control knob to a medium setting, the freezer will not be damaged but energy will be wasted. 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 the frozen foods with wet hands. Place the packed food products into the freezer.
