Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen to core as quickly as possible.

You can freeze up to 2 kg/24 hours.

•

Set the temperature to 5°C or lower.

• Wait 24 hours.

• Place the fresh food in the freezer.

• After approx. 24 hours the fresh food will

be frozen.

• Now set the temperature to the normal setting.

Deep frozen food can be placed into the cold freezer compartment

straight away.

Making ice cubes

• Fill the ice-cube tray with water.

• Place the ice-cube tray in the appliance and

leave it to freeze.

• The ice cubes can be removed from the

tray by twisting or by holding upside down

for a short time under running water.

Notes on freezing and storage

• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,

metal or aluminium containers.

• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exeed

the stated storage time for the food.

• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks

as they might burst.

• Only take out as much food as is immediately required for thawing.

Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly

as possible.

Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:

– in a fan oven

– in a microwave oven

– at room temperature

– in the refrigerator: the cold given o by the frozen food is used for

cooling.

Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes and

freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a temperature of

-18 °C and lower.

The air temperature in the compartment, measured by thermometer

or other instruments, may fluctuate.

Cleaning

Before cleaning always switch o the appliance. Disconnect

from the mains or unscrew or switch o the fuse.

Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm

water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners

or chemical solvents.

Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and

damage.

• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-

ponents or ventilation grille.

• Dry all parts well with a cloth.

• Do not damage or remove the type plate on the inside of the ap-

pliance. It is very important for servicing purposes.

• To clean the NaturaFresh draw-

ers, pull the drawers right out,

grip at back and lift out.

- To insert: place drawers on the

fully extended rails closest to the

door handle side of the appliance

- the rails must align with the front

of the drawer - and slide in.

Defrosting

Refrigerator compartment

The refrigerator compartment defrosts automatically. The water that

forms on the rear wall drains into a reservoir at the back of the ap-

pliance and evaporates automatically through the compressor heat.

Freezer compartment

After a long period of operation, a layer of frost or ice can build up

inside the freezer compartment. This increases energy consump-

tion. You should therefore defrost the freezer compartment regularly.

• Switch the appliance o to defrost.

Pull out the mains plug.

• Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool place.

• To speed up the defrosting process put a saucepan of hot but not

boiling water in the compartment.

• Leave the door of the appliance open while defrosting. After

defrosting mop up the remaining water and clean the appliance.

Do not use any mechanical devices or other articial aids for

defrosting other than those recommended by the manufactur er.
