Positioning

Install this appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:

Location

The appliance should be installed well away from sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc. Ensure that air can circulate freely around the back of the cabinet. To ensure best performance, if the appliance is positioned below an overhanging wall unit, the minimum distance between the top of the cabinet and the wall unit must be from 70mm to 75mm. Ideally, however, the appliance should not be positioned below overhanging wall units. Accurate leveling is ensured by more adjustable feet at the base of the cabinet.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for freezing

• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food
