to bring such products home with you.

Never place bottles, warm objects, or

fizzy drinks in the freezer.

FREEZING

Only use fresh food of the best quality.

Cool hot dishes to room temperature

as quickly as possible before placing

them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully

in freezer foil, or use the special

freezer boxes or bags which are on the

market. Divide food into small portions

before freezing - this ensures that

freezing is more rapid, and means that

you only need to defrost the amount

needed for immediate consumption.

Remember that defrosted food must

not be re-frozen. However, dishes

which have been made using

defrosted food may be frozen. Mark the

freezer packaging with the date of

freezing. We recommend keeping a

record of the contents of your freezer. If

freezing is too slow, the quality of the

food being frozen deteriorates.

Consequently, do not freeze larger

amounts than stated in the freezer’s

data plate. If you wish to freeze food

several days in a row, the maximum

freezing capacity stated per day is

reduced by about one-third. As far as

possible, keep the lid closed during

freezing. If you know nothing about

home freezing, we recommend that

you purchase a book containing advice

and guidelines.

DEFROSTING

In general food should not be defrosted

at room temperature, since this

increases the risk of bacteria growth. It

is best to defrost large portions of meat

or poultry in the refrigerator, and this

also applies to food which is to be

consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and

sliced meat). Small portions of food

can be cooked straight from the

freezer. A good number of ready-to-

cook dishes can also be cooked

without defrosting. Always observe the

instructions on product packaging.

Bread tastes good when defrosted in a

moderate oven. Microwave ovens can

be used for the rapid defrosting of most

frozen foods. Observe the instructions

for use of the microwave oven

concerned.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR

FREEZER INSIDE

Remove the plug from the mains

socket, and remove all loose

accessories before cleaning the

freezer. The best time to clean your

freezer is after defrosting and before

the electricity supply is connected

again. Use a damp cloth to clean your

freezer. Use hot water, and a mild, non-

aromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning

the freezer, clean the basket/baskets

before replacing them.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Wash the outer cabinet with warm

soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive

products.

WHEN NOT IN USE

Disconnect the appliance from the

electricity supply.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.

IMPORTANT
Never use strong cleaning agents,

scouring powder or strongly

aromatic cleaning agents to clean

your freezer inside, since this will

damage the inside and leave a

strong smell.
