Switching the Appliance Off
To switch off the appliance pull out the plug from the power supply or switch off or disengage the household fuse. If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: "Cleaning and Care"). Then leave the lid open to avoid odours.
Maximum capacity / Stacking limit
To be able to store larger quantities or bulky products for freezing you can remove all the storage baskets. The appliance will still function safely if used in this way. Do not stack the products higherthan the lower edge of the plastic frame.
Freezing
Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section on the left of the dividing partition as long as it does not come into contact with previously frozen food. Attention! Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or colder. Please observe indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. If you freeze goods on several days, one after the other, freeze amounts equal to 2/3 to 3/4 of the capacity indicated on the rating plate. Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.
