[. . . ] 23 Setting the temperature in the freezer section. 25 Contents Freezing and storing food . 26 Before placing food in the freezer compartment . 27 Placing food in the freezer compartment . [. . . ] The bottom drawer must not be taken out of the appliance. Each drawer and glass cold plate can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg. If you remove the top freezer drawer make sure that you do not block the ventilation slits in the back wall of the appliance. They are important for trouble-free operation of the appliance. ^ Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen. 27 When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost. Freezer calendar The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer gives the length of time which various foods can be stored for effectively. Where the storage time given on the packaging differs, follow the advice on the packaging. Marker system for frozen food Markers serve as a reminder of how long food has been stored. Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months are represented on the dials as 1 - 12. ^ Slide the markers onto the guide runners on the edge of the drawers. Using the freezer section Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen, and turn the dials to the appropriate number to indicate the month the food was first placed in the freezer. Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked. Defrosting Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways: ­ in a microwave oven, ­ in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost" setting, ­ at room temperature, ­ in a refrigerator, ­ in a steam oven. If you require a large amount of ice cubes, ^ replace the full ice cube drawer with the drawer beside it on the right. The ice cube maker will begin to produce ice cubes again as soon as this new drawer has been placed in position and closed properly. Switching on ^ Switch on the freezer section. ^ Open the top left drawer in the freezer section. ^ Press the On/Off button on the ice cube maker. The drawer must be completely shut for ice cubes to be produced. After the appliance is switched on for the first time it can take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to drop out of the ice cube maker and collect in the drawer. Thereafter, when the ice cube maker is switched off and then on again it will take up to a maximum of 6 hours for ice cubes to be produced. 30 Ice cube maker Switching off the ice cube maker The ice cube maker can be switched off independently of the freezer section if you do not want the appliance to make any ice cubes. ^ Press the On/Off button on the ice cube maker until the indicator light goes out. If the ice cube maker is switched off, the ice cube drawer can be used as an extra drawer for freezing fresh food and storing frozen food. 31 Defrosting Wine cooler Condensate and frost can build up on the back wall of the wine cooler whilst it is in use. These are automatically removed and defrosted by the appliance. The condensate is drained away via a channel and drain hole into an evaporation system at the back of the appliance. Ensure that the condensate channel and drain hole are kept clean and are never blocked so that condensate can flow away without hindrance. Freezer section This freezer is equipped with a "Frost free" system. [. . . ] The M4 screw has to be screwed into the left hole of the hinge bracket. ^ Turn cover h through 180°, and fit it on the other side. ^ Exchange cover m in the middle of the appliance with hinge bracket o. To do this: Unscrew cover m and hinge bracket o, turn them around and screw in on the opposite side. [. . . ]
