5.3 Freezer compartment

You can store frozen food for several months, make ice cubes
and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment at a tempera-
ture of -18 °C and lower.
The air temperature in the compartment, measured by ther-
mometer or other instruments, may fluctuate.
5.3.1 Freezing food
The rating plate indicates the maximum quantity of fresh food
you can freeze within 24 hours (see 1 Appliance at a glance)
under "Freezing capacity ... kg/24h".
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to broken glass!
Bottles and cans containing drinks may burst when being
frozen. This applies particularly to sparkling drinks.
u Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks!
u Switch on Quick Cool 4 hours before freezing and set the
temperature to 4 °C or less.
u Once the food is frozen, you can reset the temperature and
switch off Quick Cool.
So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do not
exceed the following quantities per pack
- Fruit, vegetables up to 1 kg
- Meat up to 2.5 kg

6 Maintenance

6.1 Defrosting

6.1.1 Defrosting refrigerator compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The defrosted
water will evaporate. Water drops or a thin layer of frost or ice
can form on the back wall; this is a completely normal part of
the machine's function.
u Clean the drain hole at regular intervals to allow the defrost
water to drain (see 6.2 Cleaning the appliance) .
6.1.2 Defrosting freezer compartment
A layer of frost and ice forms in the freezer compartment after
the appliance has been in use for a lengthy period of time. This
is quite normal. The layer of frost and ice forms more quickly
if the door is opened frequently or if the food is warm when
placed inside. However, a thick layer of ice will increase the
appliance's energy consumption. You should therefore defrost
the appliance regularly.
WARNING
Improper defrosting of the appliance!
Injuries and damage.
u Do not use mechanical equipment or other methods to
speed up the defrosting process other than those recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
u Do not use electrical heating or steam-cleaning appliances,
naked flames or defroster sprays to defrost.
u Do not use sharp objects to remove ice.
u Switch off the appliance.
w The temperature display goes out.
w If the temperature display does not go out, the child-proofing
function (see 5.1 Child proofing) is active.
u Pull out the plug.
