English 8 Storage time The storage time for purchased deep-frozen products varies and depends on the type of product and its packaging. Therefore, strictly observe the producer's instructions on the packaging. For fresh food that you like to deep freeze, consult the storage table at the back of this user manual. After being defrosted, food must be consumed immediately but latest within the next 24 hours. 9 Cleaning and maintenance For the upkeep of the external appearance of your appliance, now and again clean with furniture polish or other enamel protecting product (never, on any account, use it in the inside. Clean the seal (B) with warm water now and again without using any cleaning product. If your appliance has a condenser (R) in the rear inside, from time to time remove dirt and dust. Dust and dirt impede the release of heat from the inner compartment and considerably increases consumption of energy. For best results, use a light brush or duster to remove dust from the condenser on the rear wall. If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended period (e.g. when on holidays), leave it open to prevent odours building up inside. For appliances with locks: when the chest lid is open, always set the lock in "closed" position and keep the key well away from small children to prevent accidents. Care is required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-running of the freezer (interruption of power supply or failure of the refrigerating system). A rise in temperature of the frozen food could shorten the storage life. When ice and frost layers form on the inner walls up to a certain thickness, they act as an insulation element and prevent the coldness being released from the inner walls. They must be removed from time to time. To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or wood scraper without sharp edges. Cover the frozen food with a cloth which aids to collect the scraped ice and enables a simple removal. 10 Defrosting Under normal conditions (3 to 4 openings per day) the freezer must be defrosted once or twice a year (more often in other cases).
