Label the portions with at least the following 
information:
„ Product name (e.g. beef fillet) 
„ Weight of portion 
„ Quantity (total of pieces)
„ Freezing date 
„ Use  by date (consumption date)  (see “storage 
table”)
Then continue as follows 
a) We recommend you place fresh foods in the pre-
freezing compartment at the side (I) (not all models are 
equipped) or on the bottom of the freezer. This is the 
coldest part. 
Avoid to put fresh foods directly in contact with deep 
frozen food. Deep frozen food could defrost and may 
not outlast the foreseen storage time.   
b)  Fill in within 24 hours, only the quantities of fresh 
food that are suitable for the freezing capacity of 
your appliance. 
See information on the rating plate (XX kg/24h).
c)  If available, switch on the SUPER FREEZE 
SWITCH  (FIG.4)  (not absolutely necessary when 
filling in already  frozen (e.g. deep-frozen food) 
items.
d)  After 24 hours, shift deep-frozen goods from the 
freezer bottom or the pre-freeze shelf to a hung 
basket (K),  so that the pre-freeze shelf or freezer 
bottom are available for freezing additional fresh 
foods.
e)  Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (yellow 
light goes off). 
f)  Set the temperature control to one of the 
appliance’s relevant filling capacities (see
“Maximum stacking height”).
g)  Keep the temperature in the storage shelf (E) 
under control, preferably by placing a thermometer 
with a scale range of up to –26°C.  The storage 
temperature must always be at least -18°C.
Refilling of fresh food (not frozen)
Make sure that you refill fresh food, in quantities 
adequate to the freezing capacity (XXkg/24h) earliest 
24 hours after the previous filling.  
(do not exceed maximum stacking height) 
Maximum stacking height  
To ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the 
storage shelf (E)  up to the edge. Always allow space 
between the lid and the frozen foods. 
Set the temperature control (FIG.4) strictly according to 
the filling capacity. 
To  save energy when operating in normal ambient 
temperature (+18 to + 22°C), we recommend the 
following settings for the temperature control:

Instruction for use 
10 Storage 
time 
The storage time for purchased deep-frozen products  
varies and  depends on the type of product and its 
packaging.  Therefore, strictly observe the producer’s 
instructions on the packaging. 
For fresh food that you like to deep freeze, consult the 
storage table at the back of this user manual. 
After being defrosted, food must be consumed 
immediately but latest within the next 24 hours. 
11  Precautions and advice 
„ Whenever cleaning or defrosting, remove the 
power plug. 
„ After closing the freezer lid, do not open it 
immediately and do not force it open under any 
circumstances. Any vacuum remaining on the  
„ seal (B) is released after about 1 or 2 minutes, so 
that the lid can be opened normally once again. 
„ To  prevent condensation and ice forming, allow 
cooked food to cool down to ambient temperature 
before closing the lid of the dish and before 
storage.
„ Leave the freezer lid open as briefly as possible to 
avoid waste of energy and to prevent an excessive 
amount of ice forming in the appliance. 
„ ice forming in the appliance. 
„ If the red indicator-light goes on unexpectedly or 
stays on for a long period, do not open the lid on 
any account and take the appropriate measures 
immediately (see guide “what is when ....” at the 
back of the this user manual)
.
„ Do not use a screwdriver or other metal objects to 
remove the layer of ice. The interior walls are very 
delicate and will not tolerate any sharp edges. Use 
only plastic or wooden scrapers. 
12  Cleaning and maintenance 
For the upkeep of the external appearance of your 
appliance, now and again clean with furniture polish or 
other enamel protecting product (never, on any 
account, use it in the inside. Clean the seal (B)  with 
warm water now and again without using any cleaning 
product.
If your appliance has a condenser (R) in the rear inside, 
from time to time remove dirt and dust. Dust and dirt 
impede release of heat from the inner compartment and 
considerably increases consumption of energy. For 
best results, use a light brush or duster to remove dust 
from the condenser on the rear wall. 
If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended 
period (e.g. when on holidays), leave it open to prevent 
odours building up inside. For appliances with locks: 
when the chest lid is open, always set the lock in 
“closed” position and keep the key well away from small 
children to prevent accidents. 
When ice and frost layers form on the inner walls up 
to a certain thickness, they act as an insulation element 
and prevent the coldness being released from the inner 
walls. They must be removed from time to time.
