FROSTMATIC Button The Frostmatic function “ ” accelerates the freezing of fresh food and, at the same time, protects foodstuffs already stored from undesirable warming. The Frostmatic function is switched on by pressing the FROSTMATIC button. The yellow light illuminates. The Frostmatic function can be ended manually at any time by pressing the FROSTMATIC button again.
Temperature Adjustment Press either the „+“ (WARMER) or „-“ (COLDER) button. To adjust to a warmer temperature, press the „+“ button. To adjust to a colder temperature, press the „-“ button. The changed setting is imme- diately displayed on the temperature display.The temperature is adju- sted by one display field with each press of a button.
Control and Information System The control and information system comprises a temperature display, an optical warning light and an acoustic warning device. The system warns: – if the temperature in the freezer compartment is too warm; – if there is a malfunction in the appliance. Temperature Warning The red warning light flashes and a warning tone sounds as soon as the temperature in the freezer compartment is warmer than -12°C.
Freezing and storing frozen food You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself. Important! • The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18 °C or colder before freezing food. • 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.
Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the appliance´s two top drawers (1) and (2) equipped with its own refrige- rating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, other- wise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Freezer drawers (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen food.
Preparation of Ice Cubes Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place it in the freezer compartment and leave to freeze. 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 compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects.
Remove all drawers except the bot- tom one. The bottom drawer serves as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice. Pull out the drawer and insert the plastic scraper in the special location to act as an extension channel to collect the defrost water.
Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Commercially available dish washing detergents may also be used. After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Accumulation of dust at 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.
Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
