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.

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.  
Please note the following:  
– household thermometers and those  
used for measuring the temperature  
of bathwater are not very accurate. It  
is best to use an electronic  
thermometer.  
– Do not measure the temperature of  
the air in the appliance. The result  
will not reflect the temperature in the  
food.  
The temperature in the appliance will  
rise:  
Try to open the door as little as possible  
during the measuring period, as warm  
room air will enter the refrigerator every  
time the door is opened.  
– the more often the door is opened  
and the longer it is kept open,  
– the more food that is stored in it,  
– the warmer the food is which is being  
put into it,  
. . . in the freezer compartment  
(depending on model)  
– the higher the ambient temperature  
surrounding the appliance.  
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

not designed.  
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.  
. . . in the refrigerator section  
We recommend a temperature of 5 °C  
in the middle of the refrigerator.  
If you wish to check the temperature in  
the refrigerator,  
^ place a thermometer in a glass of  
water and then place the glass in the  
middle of the refrigerator section.  
After about 24 hours, the thermometer  
will show the approximate temperature  
in the refrigerator.

The correct temperature  
Setting the temperature  
The temperature is set using the  
temperature dial.  
^ Using a coin, turn the On/Off dial in a  
clockwise direction away from the "0"  
position.  
The higher the setting, the lower the  
temperature in the appliance.  
Forcing the dial beyond its range will  
damage it. Turn it only as far as it  
will go, then turn it back again.  
In normal use, a midway setting is  
generally sufficient. You should also  
check the temperature inside the  
appliance from time to time.  
However, if frozen food is to be stored  
in the freezer compartment then the  
maximum setting is recommended to  
ensure that the required temperature in  
the freezer compartment is maintained.  
Note that the temperature in the  
appliance is affected by the following  
factors:  
– the appliance door being opened  
frequently,  
– large quantities of food being placed  
inside the appliance,  
– a high ambient temperature.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
When shopping for food  
Fruit and vegetables  
The freshness of food when first placed Fruit and vegetables may be stored  
in the appliance is an important factor  
in determining how long it stays fresh.  
Time out of the refrigerator e.g. during  
transportation should be kept to a  
minimum. For example, do not allow  
food to stay in a hot car for too long.  
Once food has started to deteriorate,  
this process cannot be reversed. As

However, you should bear in mind that  
aromas and flavours can transfer from  
one type of food to another (e.g. carrots  
absorb the smell and flavour of onions  
very easily). Some food also gives off a  
natural gas (ethylene) which speeds up  
the rate at which other food perishes.

bacteria. The growth of bacteria, such  
as salmonella, can be avoided by  
setting the correct temperature and  
maintaining good standards of hygiene.  
– Examples of fruit and vegetables  
which react strongly to the natural  
gases given off by other types of  
fruit and vegetables are:  
Kiwis, broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels  
sprouts, mangos, honeydew melons,  
apples, apricots, cucumbers,  
tomatoes, pears, nectarines and

Example: Broccoli should not be  
stored with apples, as apples  
produce a large amount of natural  
gas to which broccoli is very  
sensitive. The result is a shorter than  
expected storage time for the  
broccoli.

Using the refrigerator efficiently  
Unpacked meats and vegetables  
Unpackaged meat and vegetables  
should be stored separately. To avoid  
any microbiological  
cross-contamination, these foods may  
only be stored together if they are  
wrapped.  
Protein rich foods  
Please note that foods rich in protein  
deteriorate faster than others.  
Shellfish, for example, deteriorates  
faster than fish, and fish deteriorates  
faster than meat.  
Meat  
Meat should be stored unwrapped.  
(Undo wrappings slightly to leave meat  
loosely covered, and leave containers  
open). This permits air to circulate  
around the meat, allowing the surface  
to dry slightly, which helps prevent the  
growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk  
of bacterial cross-contamination, do not  
let meat come into direct contact with  
other foods.

Freezing and storing food (depending on model)  
Using the freezer compartment Storing frozen food  
Use the freezer compartment to:  
– store frozen food,  
When buying frozen food to store in  
your freezer compartment, check  
– that the packaging is not damaged,  
– the use-by date,  
– make ice cubes,  
– freeze small quantities of fresh food.  
– the temperature at which the frozen  
food is being stored in the shop. The  
length of time it can be kept is  
Up to 2 kg of food can be frozen in  
24 hours.  
reduced if it has been stored at a  
temperature warmer than -18 °C.  
Freezing fresh food  
^ 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.  
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.  
^ Store it in the freezer compartment as  
soon as possible.  
Food which takes a long time to freeze  
will lose more water from its cells, which  
then shrink.  
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.  
During the defrosting process, only  
some of this water is reabsorbed by the  
cells; the rest collects around the food.  
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.

compartment.  
Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour  
cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their  
shells, onions, whole raw apples and  
pears.  
Packing  
^ Freeze food in portions.  
Suitable packing material  
- plastic freezer film  
- freezer bags  
– To retain colour, taste and vitamin C,  
vegetables should be blanched after  
they have been trimmed and  
washed.  
- freezer containers  
- aluminium foil  
To blanch: bring a large saucepan of  
water to the boil and 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.  
Unsuitable packing material  
- wrapping paper  
- grease-proof paper  
- cellophane  
- dustbin liners  
- plastic carrier bags  
– Lean meat freezes better than fatty  
meat, and can be stored for  
considerably longer.  
^ Expel as much air as possible from  
bags etc. before sealing them, to  
prevent freezer-burn on food.  
– To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or  
rolled meat from freezing together in  
solid blocks when packed, separate  
with a sheet of plastic freezer film.  
^ Close the packaging tightly with  
- rubber bands  
- plastic clips  
- string or bag ties  
- freezer tape.  
Freezer bags may also be sealed  
using home heat-sealing kits.

date of freezing on the packaging.  
Defrosting  
Frozen food can be defrosted in  
different ways:  
Before placing food in the freezer  
compartment  
– in a microwave oven,  
– in an oven using the "Fan" or  
"Defrost" setting,  
^ The Super freeze function should  
also be switched on before placing  
the food in the freezer compartment  
(see "Using Super freeze").  
– at room temperature,  
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off  
by the frozen food helps to keep  
other food cold),  
This helps food that is already in the  
freezer compartment to stay frozen.  
– in a steam oven.  
Placing food in the freezer  
compartment  
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.  
^ Place the food flat on the bottom of  
the freezer compartment so that it  
freezes through to the core as quickly  
as possible.  
^ Make sure that the packaging and  
containers are dry to prevent them  
sticking together when frozen.  
Fruit should be defrosted at room  
temperature in its packaging, or in a  
covered bowl.  
When freezing, make sure that food  
already frozen does not come into  
contact with fresh food being frozen  
as this could cause the frozen food  
to begin to defrost.  
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.  
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.

Ice cubes  
^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with  
water and place it on the bottom of  
the freezer compartment.  
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,  
for example a spoon handle, to  
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.  
Cooling drinks

Defrosting  
To defrost  
After defrosting  
^ Clean the appliance, and then dry it  
thoroughly.  
Carry out the defrosting procedure  
as quickly as possible if food has  
not been placed in another freezer.  
The longer the food is left out at  
room temperature, the faster it  
defrosts.  
Do not let water get into the  
condensate channel and drain hole.  
^ Insert the plug in the appliance, and  
switch the appliance back on.  
^ Place the frozen food into the freezer  
compartment again.  
^ Switch the appliance off at the wall  
socket and remove the plug.  
^ Open the freezer compartment door.  
^ Use a sponge or towel to soak up the  
defrosted water.  
To speed up defrosting, a bowl with hot  
water (not boiling) can be placed in the  
freezer compartment. Closing the door  
in this instance will help retain warmth  
and speed up the defrosting process.  
We do not recommend the use of  
hot air blowers such as hairdryers  
for defrosting your freezer.  
Never place electric heaters or  
candles in the appliance to defrost  
it. These can damage the plastic  
parts.  
Do not use defrosting sprays or  
de-icers, as they could contain  
substances which may damage the  
plastic parts and which may cause a  
build-up of gases and pose a  
danger to health.
