W

  Suitable packing materials

 are conventional freezer 

bags, reusable plastic, metal and aluminium containers.

W

  Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come into contact 

with food already frozen. Always insert packaging in a dry 

condition to avoid packaging freezing together.

W

  Always provide packaging with date and contents and do 

not exceed the recommended storage time of the frozen 

food, in order to prevent reductions in quality.

W 

Always package food which you freeze yourself in suit-

able portions for your household. So that the food freezes 

quickly through to the core, the following quantities per 

package should not be exceeded:

-  Fruit and vegetables up to 1 kg,

-  meat up to 2.5 kg.

W

  After wasing and portioning, blanch 

vegetables

 (immerse 

in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then remove and cool 

in cold water). If blanching with a steamer or microwave, 

observe the relevant instructions).

W

  Do not salt or season food and blanched vegetables 

before freezing. Only lightly salt and season other foods. 

The intensity of flavour of certain seasonings changes.

W

  Do not freeze bottles and tins containing carbonated 

beverages, as otherwise they may burst.

For storage:

 The individual storage tray can support 

max. 25 kg of frozen goods.

6 Defrosting

Defrosting

The refrigerator compartment

defrosts automatically.  The defrost water is evapo-

rated by the heat from the compressor; drops of water 

on the rear wall are perfectly normal.

W

  Ensure that the defrost water can flow freely through the 

drain hole in the rear wall (arrow in fig. 

A

). 

The freezer compartment

W

  To defrost, switch off the appliance:

-  Disconnect the appliance from the mains .

W

  If possible, put the frozen goods in the freezer drawer, 

wrap in newspaper or a blanket and store in a cool place.

W

  To speed up the defrosting process place a saucepan of 

hot but not boiling water on one of the middle shelves.

  Do not use electric heaters or steam clean-ers, defrost-

ing sprays or naked flames for defrosting nor any metal 

objects for removing the ice.  Risk of injury and damage!

W

  Leave the appliance door open when defrosting.

  After defrosting, mop up the remaining water with a 

sponge or cloth and clean the appliance.
