Place the packed food in the drawers. Place food to be frozen in the

appliance´s two top drawers (1) and (2) equipped with its own refrige-

rating unit. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, other-

wise the frozen food could begin to defrost.

Freezer drawers (3) and (4) should only be used for storage of frozen

food. The lowest drawer has a solid floor and can be used for catching

some of the melt-water when the freezer is beeing defrosted.

In order to enlarge the appliance´s volume the two centre drawers (2)

and (3) can be removed.

Place frozen foods in the drawers sorted by type, as far as possible.

Once the required storage temperate has been reached, press the

FROSTMATIC button again. The yellow light goes out.

Tips:

• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:

– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;

– special cans for frozen goods;

– extra–thick aluminium foil.

• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:

plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.

• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier for

the frozen food to dry out.

• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.

• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or

paste–like

goods, because liquids expand during freezing.

Note for inspection authorities:

Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-

up time can be requested directly from the manufacturer.

Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar

• The symbols on the drawers show

different types of frozen goods.

• The numbers indicate storage times

in months for the appropriate types

of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated

storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-

treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high

fat content.
