Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or col-

der before freezing food.

• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The

freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be

frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several

days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4

of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved

when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will

cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufactu-

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into

meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
