Adjusting the temperature in the freezer
The temperature is adjusted on the slide control:
Place it in a central position to set an optimal
temperature for normal use. The more you turn
the knob clockwise, the lower the temperature in
the freezer will be. The more you turn the knob
counterclockwise, the higher the temperature in the
freezer will be.
In case of high humidity in the freezer, caused
by opening the door of the freezer frequently, for
example, the slide control can freeze. Do not try to
move it by force! Use warm water to unfreeze the
control gradually until you can move it again.
Interior Lighting
Do not take off the cover of the interior lighting. The
appliance is equipped with high quality, durable
LED-lighting. If the light is inoperative, call our
after-sales service.
Freezer Door
The freezer door should always stay closed so that
the food does not defrost. Thereby, the formation of
ice and frost accretion is reduced. Therefore, make
sure that the door is only open for withdrawal of
food or rather for filling the freezer.
Freezing/Storing of Food
Freezer:
• The freezer is designed for the freezing of food,
for the long-term storage of frozen food as well
as for the appliance ion of ice cubes.
• Fresh food should be frozen to the core as quick-
ly as possible, so that the nutritional value, the
vitamins, etc. do not get lost. For this reason, put
the food in one or two rows in the freezer.
• Do not bring them into contact with already
frozen food.
• Do not exceed the freezing capacity per day!
The respective value for the maximum freezing
capacity can be taken from the appliance specifi-
cation sheet at the end of the manual.
• For fast freezing, set the temperature regulator to
MIN-Position. After approx. 24 hours, set it back
to the mid position in the freezer.
• The freezing time shortens if the food to be
frozen is divided into small portions.
• Store the frozen food in the appliance only pack-
aged. You can use uncoloured plastic sheets/
bags or aluminium foil as packaging material.
Remove the air from the packaging before
freezing and check for airtightness. Provide every
packaging with a label with the content, date of
freezing and date of expiry on it.

• Do not freeze carbonated liquids, warm foods or
liquids in a glass container or bottle.
• Defrost frozen appliances in the refrigerator.
Foods keep their taste when they are defrosted
slowly, and the emitted cooling energy from
these appliances can be used to maintain the
intended temperature in the refrigerator.
• If the appliance is turned off for a longer period
of time, e.g., because of a mains failure, leave
the door closed. Thereby, a more significant loss
of cooling energy can be avoided. The maxi-
mum storage time during malfunction can be
taken from the appliance specification sheet at
the end of the manual. Because of the higher
interior temperature, the storage time for food is
shortened.
Data for expiry dates of frozen food are indicated in
the chart per month.
Do not store the frozen food longer than the given
time in the freezer. Pay attention to the expiry date
of the frozen food indicated by producer.
Refrigerator:
• Store the food only packaged or covered in the
refrigerator, in order to sustain the flavour and
the freshness. Especially foods with a strong
smell or prone to absorbing smell (cheese,
fish, butter, among others) have to be stored
separately.
• There are different zones of low temperature in
the refrigerator. The warmest zone is at the top
of the door in the refrigerator. The coldest zone is
on the back wall at the bottom of the refrigerator.
• For this reason, arrange the food in the following
way:
ū On the shelves in the freezer (top to bottom):
Baked goods, ready-made meals, dairy pro-
duce, meat, fish and sausages.
ū In the VeggiBox: Vegetables, salad and fruits.
ū In the door (from top to bottom): Butter,
cheese, eggs, tubes, small bottles, big bottles,
milk and juice bags.
• At first, set an average cooling temperature. If
the cooling is too strong, set a higher tempera-
ture and if the cooling is too weak, set a lower
temperature.
If frost is built upon the back wall, then the
cause of this could be that the door was opened
too long, warm dishes were in the appliance or
the temperature was set too low.
• Warm foods have to be cooled down to room
