Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar
� The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods.

� The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content. � By attaching the included index-tabs to the drawers, they can be marked according to which type of foods the individual compartments contain.

Defrosting
During use and when the door is opened, moisture is deposited as frost inside the appliance, particularly on the evaporator. This frost must be removed from time to time using the soft plastic scraper supplied. Under no circumstances use hard or pointed objects for this purpose. The freezer compartment should always be defrosted when the layer of frost has reached a thickness of approx. 4 millimetres; however at least once a year. A good time for defrosting is when the appliance is empty or contains only little food. Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food. 0 Remove frozen food, wrap it in several layers of newspaper and store it, covered, in a cool place. 0 Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or pull the fuse or switch off the circuit breaker. 0 Remove all drawers except the bottom one. The bottom drawer serves as a practical container to collect the water from the thawing ice. Tip: To speed up the defrosting process, place a pan with hot water in the appliance and close the door. Remove pieces of ice that have fallen before they completely defrost. 0 After defrosting, thoroughly clean the freezer compartment and interior fittings ( see "Maintenance and Cleaning).

1Warning!
� Do not use electrical heating appliances or any other mechanical or artificial devices to speed up the defrosting process, with the exception of those recommended in these operating instructions. � Do not use defrosting sprays, they can be hazardous to your health and/or contain substances that damage plastics.
