Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below
. Do not exceed
these storage times.
- The storage time will decrease if the internal temperature has increased, e.g. as a result
of malfunction

full with drinking
water and place it in the freezer. The ice cubes are easier to remove from the tray if the tray
is left standing at room temperature for 5 minutes.
De-frosting and cleaning
- Always remove the plug from the wall socket before cleaning.
- Do not pour water over the unit.
- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
After a certain period of operation and depending on several factors (e.g. how often the
door has been opened), a layer of ice will form inside the freezer compartment. Once the
build-up of ice has reached a thickness of 3 to 5 mm, the unit must be de-frosted.
The build-up of ice increases the power consumption of the appliance.
When de-frosting the unit
- Ensure that the plug has been removed from the wall socket,
- Remove all food from the freezer, place it into a plastic container, add pre-frozen
freezer-packs and cover the container to keep the inside temperature down.
- Leave the freezer door open.
Warning:
Do not use any external device or other means (e.g. heaters or heating fans) to
accelerate de-frosting.
After de-frosting, the freezer should be thoroughly cleaned using warm water and, if
necessary, a mild detergent. Wipe thoroughly dry and air afterwards before using again.
Take care not to remove or damage the rating plate in the freezer during cleaning.
Any dust deposits around the ventilation slots on the outside of the unit should be regularly
removed using a suitable brush or a vacuum cleaner. The build-up of dust will cause an
increase in energy consumption.
The rear of the appliance should be thoroughly cleaned with a soft brush or a vacuum
