Ensure that air can circulate freely around the appliance.
Only open the door briefly when loading and removing foodstuffs.
If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside
the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when
loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for
only a short time; the appliance requires less energy and less ice is deposited on
the freezer walls.
Select the temperature setting according to how full the appliance is.
Allow warm foods to cool to room temperature before putting them in the freez-
er.
Ensure that the door seal is undamaged and that the door closes properly.
If a layer of ice has formed, defrost the appliance. A thick coating of ice will ad-
versely affect the energy consumption.
If the freezer is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost
and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent
mould from forming in the appliance.

NOTICE!
Risk of damage to the appliance!
Sensitive surfaces: Do not allow oil and grease to come
into contact with the plastic parts and the door seal as
the surface can become porous and brittle.
Do not allow oil or grease to come into contact with
the plastic parts.
Almost all types of food are suitable for freezing, except vegetables which are eaten
raw, e.g. lettuce.
Only high-quality food is suitable to be frozen.
Freeze food in portions for single use and do not refreeze any products that have
defrosted.
Set the temperature control to MAX 2 to 3 hours before putting fresh food in
the freezer. After putting fresh food in the freezer, set the temperature control
to NORMAL, for example, depending on the intended storage period (see "8.2.
Temperature control" on page 182).
To avoid food from becoming contaminated, please observe the following instruc-
tions:
If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside the
appliance zones to increase significantly.
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible
drain systems.
