Caring for the environment  
Disposal of the packing  
material  
Disposal of your old appliance  
Electrical and electronic appliances  
often contain materials which, if  
handled or disposed of incorrectly,  
could be potentially hazardous to  
human health and to the environment.  
They are, however, essential for the  
correct functioning of your appliance.  
Please do not therefore dispose of it  
with your household waste.  
The transport and protective packing  
has been selected from materials which  
are environmentally friendly for  
disposal, and should be recycled.  
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,  
bags etc. are disposed of safely and  
kept out of the reach of babies and  
young children. Danger of suffocation!  
Please dispose of it at your local  
community waste collection / recycling  
centre or contact your dealer for  
advice. Ensure that it presents no  
danger to children while being stored  
for disposal.  
Take care not to damage the pipework  
at the back of it before or during  
transportation to an authorised  
collection depot.  
In this way, refrigerant in the pipework  
and oil in the compressor will be  
contained, and will not leak out into the  
environment.

coolant in the appliance is stated on the  
data plate inside the appliance.  
Safe operation of the appliance is  
~
only assured if it has been installed and  
connected in accordance with these  
operating and installation instructions.  
This appliance contains the coolant  
~
Isobutane (R600a), a natural gas which  
is environmentally friendly. Although it  
is flammable, it does not damage the  
ozone layer and does not increase the  
greenhouse effect. The use of this  
coolant has, however, led to a slight  
increase in the noise level of the  
appliance. In addition to the noise of  
the compressor, you might be able to  
hear the coolant flowing around the  
system. This is unavoidable, but does  
not have any adverse effect on the  
performance of the appliance.  
Before connecting the appliance to  
~
the mains supply, make sure that the  
rating on the data plate corresponds to  
the voltage and frequency of the  
household supply.  
This data must correspond in order to  
avoid the risk of damage to the  
appliance. Consult a qualified  
electrician if in any doubt.  
Do not connect the appliance to the  
~
mains electricity supply by a  
multi-socket adapter or an extension  
lead. These do not guarantee the  
required safety of the appliance (e.g.  
danger of overheating).  
Care must be taken during the  
transportation and installation of the  
appliance that no parts of the cooling  
system are damaged. Leaking coolant  
can damage the eyes.  
In the event of any damage:  
– avoid open flames and anything  
which creates a spark,

The correct temperature  
It is very important to set the correct  
temperature for storing food in the  
appliance. Micro-organisms will cause  
food which is not stored at the correct  
temperature to deteriorate rapidly.  
Temperature influences the growth rate  
of these micro-organisms. Reducing  
the temperature reduces their growth  
rate.  
Setting the temperature  
^ Press the temperature button  
repeatedly until the indicator light for  
the temperature you want lights up in  
the display.  
To freeze fresh food and to store frozen  
food for a long time, a temperature of  
-18 °C is required. At this temperature  
the growth of micro-organisms is  
generally halted. As soon as the  
The temperature value will change until  
the setting for -32 °C is reached. It will  
then go back to the -15 °C setting.  
The temperature can be set colder than  
the displayed temperature (e.g. colder  
than -15°C but not as cold as -18°C).  
temperature rises above -10 °C, the  
micro-organisms become active in the  
food again so that it cannot be kept as  
long. For this reason, partially defrosted  
or defrosted food must not be re-frozen.  
Food may be re-frozen once it has  
been cooked, as the high temperatures  
achieved when cooking destroy most  
micro-organisms.  
^ Press the temperature button  
repeatedly until the indicator light for  
-15 °C lights up in the display.  
^ Press it again for approx. 5 seconds  
to set the temperature below -15°C.  
The temperature has now been set  
between -15°C and -18°C. However,  
this is not visible in the temperature  
display.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– if too much food is stored in it at  
once,  
– if too much fresh food is being frozen  
at once,  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
The appliance is designed for use in  
specific ambient temperatures  
(climate ranges). Do not use in  
ambient temperatures for which it is  
not designed.  
13  
 
The correct temperature  
Temperature display  
The temperature display on the  
control panel always shows the  
required temperature.  
The temperature can be adjusted from:  
-15 °C to -32 °C  
The temperature display will flash if  
– the temperature in the appliance is  
not within the possible temperature  
range,  
– a different temperature is being set,  
– the temperature in the appliance has  
risen by several degrees, indicating  
that the appliance is warming up too  
much.  
This loss of coldness is no cause for  
concern in the following circumstances:  
– when the door has been left open for  
a while, e.g. for removing or storing a  
large amount of food,  
– when fresh food is being frozen.  
However, if the temperature in the  
freezer remains above -18 °C for a long  
time, check that the frozen food has not  
started to defrost. If it has started  
thawing, check that the food is safe to  
use and if it is, use it as quickly as  
possible.  
14  
 
Alarm  
Your appliance has been fitted with a  
warning system which ensures that the  
temperature in the freezer cannot rise  
unnoticed. An alarm will sound, and the  
temperature display and the alarm  
indicator light will flash if the  
Activating the alarm system  
The alarm system is always active. It  
does not have to be switched on  
manually.  
Switching the alarm off early  
temperature becomes too warm.  
The temperature the appliance is set at  
determines the temperature the  
appliance recognises as being too  
warm.  
The alarm will stop and the indicator  
light will go out when the temperature  
reaches the correct level again.  
However, if the noise disturbs you, you  
can switch the alarm off before this if  
you wish.  
For example, the alarm may sound and  
the alarm indicator light may flash,  
– After a power cut.  
– If you freeze a large amount of food  
at once.  
^ Press the alarm off button.  
Depending on the temperature in the  
freezer, you should check the condition  
of the food. If food has defrosted or  
started to defrost, check that it is still  
safe to use, and if so, use it as quickly  
as possible. Defrosted food may only  
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.  
The alarm will stop.  
The indicator light will stay on until  
the correct temperature has been  
reached. The alarm system is then  
ready should it be needed again.  
Door alarm  
If the door has been left open for more  
than approx. 60 seconds the alarm will  
sound.

Super freeze  
Switch the Super freeze function on  
before putting fresh food into the  
freezer.  
Switching off Super freeze  
The Super freeze function will switch off  
automatically after approx. 65 hours.  
The indicator light will go out and the  
appliance will run at normal power  
again.  
This helps food to freeze quickly and  
retain its nutrients, vitamins, flavours  
and appearance.

constant temperature of -18°C or  
colder has been reached in the freezer.  
You should also check the temperature  
inside the appliance from time to time.  
– when putting in food that is already  
frozen.  
– when freezing up to 2 kg fresh food  
daily.  
^ Press the Super freeze button. The  
Super freeze indicator light will go  
out, and the appliance will continue  
to operate at normal power.  
Switching on Super freeze  
When freezing small quantities of food  
in the freezer, the Super freeze function  
should be switched on 6 hours  
beforehand. When freezing the  
maximum load of food the Super  
freeze function should be switched on  
24 hours beforehand.  
^ Press the Super freeze button. The  
Super freeze indicator light will come  
on.  
The appliance works at full power to  
lower the temperature in the appliance.

Freezing and storing food  
Maximum freezing capacity  
Isolation plate  
To ensure that fresh food placed in the  
freezer freezes through to the core as  
quickly as possible, the maximum  
freezing capacity must not be  
(depending on model, available as an  
optional accessory)  
The isolation plate is used to isolate  
freezer drawers which you do not wish  
to use, and thus save energy. It should  
be used if only small amounts of food  
are being stored in the freezer.  
exceeded. The maximum freezing  
capacity for freezing within a 24-hour  
period is given on the data plate:  
"Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs".  
The maximum freezing capacity given  
on the data plate has been calculated  
according to DIN EN ISO 15502 Stan-  
dard.  
Important  
– At least 3 freezer drawers as well as  
the freezer tray must be used for  
freezing food.  
Other drawers can be isolated if they  
are not needed. If you do you must  
isolate at least the two bottom  
drawers.  
Freezing fresh food  
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly  
as possible. This way the nutritional  
value of the food, its vitamin content,  
appearance and taste are not impaired.  
– The drawers being used for freezing  
must always be at the top of the  
freezer.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
– The isolation plate must be fitted  
below the lowest drawer in which  
food is being frozen.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
– The fewer drawers you use, the more  
energy you will save. Using the  
isolation plate increases energy  
savings considerably.  
In practice this means that the food  
loses a large degree of its moisture.  
You can tell if this has happened by the  
amount of liquid around the food.  
If food is frozen quickly, the cells have  
less time to lose moisture, so they  
shrink less. As there is not so much  
moisture loss, it is easier for the food to  
reabsorb it during the defrosting  
process, and very little water collects  
around the defrosted food.

Freezing and storing food  
Storing frozen food  
Do not store food in the "inactive"  
drawers. The temperature is not  
controlled in these drawers and food  
stored in them would soon  
deteriorate.  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
– and the temperature at which the  
frozen food is being stored in the  
shop. The length of time it can be  
kept is reduced if it has been stored  
at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
Example  
If you only require 3 freezer drawers as  
well as the freezer tray for storing  
frozen food:  
^ Place food in the top 3 freezer  
drawers, leaving the other drawers  
empty.  
^ Buy frozen food once you have  
finished the rest of your shopping,  
and wrap it in newspaper or use a  
cool bag or cool box to transport it.  
^ Store it in the freezer as soon as  
possible.  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.

Freezing and storing food  
Home freezing  
should be taken as the taste of some  
spices alters when frozen.  
Only freeze fresh food which is in a  
good condition.  
– Do not place hot food or drinks in the  
freezer. This causes already frozen  
food to thaw, and increases the  
energy consumption considerably.  
Allow hot food and drinks to cool  
down before placing them in the  
freezer.  
Hints on home freezing  
– The following types of food are  
suitable for freezing:  
Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish,  
vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy  
products, pastry, leftovers, egg  
yolks, egg whites and a range of  
pre-cooked meals.  
Packaging  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
– The following types of food are not  
suitable for freezing:  
Unsuitable packaging material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream,  
mayonnaise, eggs in their shells,  
onions, whole raw apples and pears.  
- bin bags  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
- plastic carrier bags  
Suitable packaging material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil, immerse the  
vegetables in the fast boiling water  
for 2-3 minutes, depending on  
variety. Remove, and plunge into  
ice-cold water to cool quickly. Drain  
and pack ready for freezing.  
- aluminium foil  
- freezer containers  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat sealing kits.  
– Do not season fresh food or  
blanched vegetables before

Freezing and storing food  
Before placing food in the freezer  
compartment  
Please note that when removing  
drawers, the lowest freezer drawer  
must always remain in the freezer.  
When placing food on the glass cold  
plate make sure it does not obstruct  
the ventilation gaps at the back. This  
is important for problem-free  
function and normal energy  
^ When freezing more than 2 kg of  
fresh food, switch on the Super  
freeze function for some time before  
placing the food in the freezer (see  
"Super freeze").  
This helps food that is already in the  
freezer compartment to stay frozen.  
consumption  
– Maximum freezing capacity (see  
data plate)  
Placing food in the freezer  
compartment  
^ Remove the freezer drawers.  
The following maximum capacities  
must be observed:  
^ Place the food flat on the bottom of  
the glass cold plate so that it freezes  
through to the core as quickly as  
possible.  
– upper freezer drawer = 15 kg  
– all other freezer drawers =  
25 kg  
– glass cold plate = 55 kg  
– Large items  
If you wish to freeze large items such  
as a turkey or game, the glass cold  
plates between the drawers can be  
removed.  
Food to be frozen must on no  
account touch food which is already  
frozen to avoid partial thawing.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
^ Remove the freezer drawers and  
carefully lift and slide out the glass  
cold plates.  
– Freezing small portions  
Place the food in the lower freezer  
drawers.  
^ Place the food flat in the bottom of  
the drawers so that it freezes through  
to the core as quickly as possible.

Freezing and storing food  
Defrosting  
Never re-freeze partially or fully  
defrosted food. Consume defrosted  
food as soon as possible as it will  
lose its nutritional value and spoil if  
left for too long. Defrosted food may  
only be re-frozen after it has been  
cooked.  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
– at room temperature,  
Ice cubes  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep  
other food cold),  
– in a steam oven.  
Poultry It is particularly important to  
observe food hygiene rules when  
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid  
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away  
and wash the container it was in, the  
sink and your hands. Danger of  
salmonella poisoning.  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water and place it on the bottom of  
one of the freezer drawers.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
Ensure that meat and fish (e.g mince,  
chicken, fish fillets) do not come into  
contact with other foods when thawing.  
Collect the liquid and dispose of it  
carefully.  
remove the ice tray from the freezer.  
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily  
from the tray by twisting the tray  
gently or by holding it under cold  
running water for a short while.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
Cooling drinks  
Most vegetables can be cooked while  
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling  
water or hot fat. The cooking time is  
slightly less than that of fresh vegetables  
due to changes in the cell structure.  
Do not store cans or bottles containing  
carbonated drinks or liquids which  
could freeze in the freezer. The cans or  
bottles could explode.  
When cooling non-carbonated drinks  
quickly in the freezer, make sure bottles  
are not left in for more than one hour,  
otherwise they could burst.

Defrosting  
This freezer is equipped with a Frost  
free system. The freezer defrosts  
automatically.  
The moisture generated by defrosting  
settles on the condensor and is  
automatically dissipated from time to  
time.  
This automatic defrosting system  
enables the freezer to remain  
permanently ice-free, however, the food  
stored in the freezer will not defrost.

Cleaning and care  
Appliance door, side panels  
The door seal should be cleaned  
regularly with clean water and then  
wiped dry with a soft cloth.  
Remove any soiling on the  
appliance door and side panels im-  
mediately.  
Metal grille at the back of the  
appliance  
If this is not done, it might become  
impossible to remove and could  
cause the surface to alter or  
discolour.  
The metal grille at the back of the  
appliance (heat exchanger) should be  
dusted at least once a year. A build-up  
of dust will increase the energy  
consumption of the appliance.  
All surfaces are susceptible to  
scratching. Contact with unsuitable  
cleaning agents can alter or  
discolour the surfaces.  
When cleaning the grille, make sure  
that the pipework and other  
components do not get broken or  
damaged in any way.

^ Insert the plug in the socket and  
switch on at the mains. Then switch  
the appliance back on.  
^ After cleaning, wipe with a damp  
cloth and dry with a soft cloth.  
^ Switch on the Super freeze function  
so that the appliance can cool down  
quickly.  
Ventilation gaps  
^ The ventilation gaps should be  
cleaned regularly with a brush or  
vacuum cleaner. A build-up of dust  
will increase the energy consumption  
of the appliance.  
^ Once the temperature in the freezer  
has reached the required  
temperature, place the food back in  
the freezer drawers and put them  
back in the freezer.  
Door seal  
^ Switch off the Super freeze function  
as soon as the temperature in the  
freezer is a constant -18 °C or colder.  
Do not use any oils or grease on the  
door seal as these will cause the  
seal to deteriorate and become  
porous over time.

Aligning the appliance door  
The appliance door can be aligned to  
the housing using the outer long slots in  
the lower hinge plate.  
In the following illustration the door  
is not shown in the closed position to  
make it easier to see what you have  
to do.  
^ Remove centre screw a from the  
hinge plate.  
^ Slightly loosen both outer screws b.  
^ Align the door by sliding the hinge  
plate to the left or right.  
^ Then tighten screws b again. Screw  
a does not need to be tightened  
again.

Building in the appliance  
The air inlet and outlet must not be  
covered or blocked in any way.  
They should be dusted on a regular  
basis.  
When built into a kitchen run (max.  
depth 580 mm) the appliance can be  
installed directly next to a kitchen  
furniture housing unit. The appliance  
door will protrude in front of furniture  
fronts at the sides by 34 mm and by  
55 mm in the middle of the door. This  
enables the doors to be opened and  
shut without being obstructed.  
When installed next to a wall d a  
distance of approx. 55 mm must be  
maintained on the hinge side between  
the wall d and the appliance b, so  
that the doors and the handles have  
sufficient space for opening.

The appliance can be installed in a  
kitchen run. To match the height of the  
rest of the kitchen, the appliance can  
be fitted with a suitable top box a.  
A ventilation gap of at least 50 mm  
depth must be allowed for behind the  
appliance across the entire width of the  
top box for air to circulate.  
The cross section of the air outlet under  
the room ceiling must be at least  
300 cm2 to ensure that air can circulate  
without hindrance. Otherwise the  
appliance has to work harder, resulting  
in an increase in electricity  
consumption.
