The food is too warm.
• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder
before freezing food.
A large quantity of warm food
was placed in the appliance
within the last 24 hours.
Turn the temperature regulator
to a colder setting.
• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The
freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be
frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4
of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.
• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will cause
increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.
• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufacturer.
The appliance is near a heat
source.
Please look in the "Installation
location" section.
Please look in the "Changing

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals)
may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low temperatures.
There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers with flamma-
ble materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extinguisher refill car-
tridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.
• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst when
the contents freeze, high carbonate content drinks can even explode!
Never store lemonade, juices, beer, wine, sparkling wine etc. in the free-
zer.
• 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.
Important! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could
freeze to the food.

Please note that it will be necessary to provide proof of purchase for any in-
guarantee service calls.
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the above checks have been
made as the engineer will make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
1.
To achieve faster freezing of food or to freeze the maximum allowed quan-
tity, depress the ambient switch 12 hours before loading the food without
modifying the thermostat setting.
Place the food to be frozen in the top drawer. Unfrozen food must not tou-
ch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

Frozen food Symbols/Freezing Calendar
Energy Saving Tips
• The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of
continuous warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more fre-
quent operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation at the appliance base and at the back wall
of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate
types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indi-
cated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and
pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with
high fat content.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will
then be used to cool the fridge.
Accumulation of dust on the condenser increases energy consumption. For
this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once
a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Ensure the appliance is
switched off.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer com-
partment and leave to freeze.
2.
To loosen the frozen cubes, either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer com-
partment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use the ice scraper supplied.

compartment every time the motor compressor stops, during normal use.
The defrost water drains out through a trough into a special container at
the back of the appliance, over the motor compressor, where it evaporates.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified service engineers. Repairs
carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunc-
tioning.
Freezer
The freezer compartment, however, will become progressively covered with
frost. This should be removed with the special plastic scraper provided,
whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 4 mm. During this operation it
is not necessary to switch off the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.
