minutes before it switches on again.
Freezer compartment door
To ensure that frozen food will not de-frost prematurely, the
door to the freezer compartment should be kept closed at all
times. This will also prevent an undue build-up of ice and frost.
Ensure, therefore, that the door is only opened briefl y to place
food in the freezer compartment or to remove it.
Freezing and storing food
The temperatures inside the refrigerator cabinet and freezer
compartment depend mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
Freezer compartment:
∙ The freezer compartment is designed for deep-freezing and
long-term storage of frozen food, and for making ice cubes.
∙ To ensure that nutritious elements such as vitamins are
not lost, fresh food should be deep-frozen right through as
quickly as possible. To that effect, the prepared food should
be placed into the freezer compartments, properly spaced
in one or two rows. Avoid contact with food that has already
been frozen. Do not deep-freeze more than 2 kg of fresh
food per day. Set the temperature control to Max. After 24
hours, once the food is well frozen, the temperature control
can be set back to its original position.
∙ The time required to freeze food may be shortened by
dividing it into smaller portions.
∙ For short-term storage of food inside the freezer
compartment, the temperature control may be set to any
suitable position between minimum and medium. For long-
term storage, set the temperature control to its maximum
position.
∙ Suitable packaging materials for frozen food are transparent
(i.e. non-coloured) plastic wrap or bags, or aluminium foil.
The packaging materials should be well aired before use;
check that the package is air-tight before freezing the food.
We strongly recommend that you label every item stored in
the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food,
freezing date and use-by date.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specifi ed (in months) in
the table below.
Do not exceed these storage times.
∙ In the event that the unit remains switched off for an
extended period (power failure or short-term malfunctions up
to 10 hours), do not open the door; this will help to maintain

Making ice cubes
A special ice-cube tray is provided for making ice cubes. Fill
the tray 3/4 full with drinking water and place it in the freezer
compartment. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray
if the tray is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
