Purchasing and storing deepfrozen food When purchasing deep-frozen food, comply with the following: - Check that the packaging is not damaged. - Check the sell-by date. - The temperature of the supermarket freezer should be 0 °F (-18 °C) or lower. If not, the storage life of the food is reduced. - Purchase deep-frozen food last. Wrap in newspaper or place in a cold bag and take home. - At home immediately place deepfrozen food in the freezer compartment. Use the deepfrozen food before the sell-by date runs out. - Do not refreeze thawed food. Exception: If you use the food to make a ready meal (boiling or frying), you can refreeze this ready meal. Thawing frozen food m CAUTION m Do NOT refreeze food which is beginning to thaw or which has already thawed. Food cannot be refrozen until it has been prepared (boiled or fried). No longer store the frozen produce for the max. storage period. Depending on the type of food and intended use, frozen produce can be thawed as follows: - at room temperature, - in the refrigerator, - in an electric oven with/without hot-air fan, - in the microwave. Ice and water dispenser Remove where necessary: - cooled water, - crushed ice, - ice cubes. m WARNING m To avoid risk of injury, never reach into the ice cube dispenser opening! NOTICE Do not place bottles or food in the cube container in order to cool them quickly. The ice maker may block and be damaged. Using the ice and water dispenser The ice and water dispenser only works when the appliance is connected to the water mains. When the appliance has been switched on, it takes approx. 24 hours until the first batch of ice cubes are ready. When the appliance has been connected, there are still air bubbles in the lines. Run off drinking water and pour away until water can be dispensed without bubbles. Pour away the first 5 glasses. When using the ice maker for the first time, do not use the first 30-40 ice cubes for reasons of hygiene. Operating the ice maker When the freezer compartment has reached its freezing temperature, water flows into the ice maker and freezes into ice cubes. When the ice cubes are ready, they are automatically discharged into the ice cube container. Occasionally the sides of the ice cubes stick together. When they are conveyed to the outlet opening, they usually break away from each other. When the ice cube container is full, ice making switches off automatically. The ice maker can make approx. 170 ice cubes within 24 hours. When ice cubes are being made, the buzzing water valve, the water flowing into the ice cube tray and the falling ice cubes can be heard. Observing drinking water quality All materials used in the drinks dispenser are odourless and tasteless. If the water has an aftertaste, this may be caused by: - Mineral and chlorine content of the drinking water. - Material of the domestic water line or connection line. - Freshness of the drinking water. If water has not been dispensed for a long time, the water may have a "stale" taste. In this case dispense approx. 15 glasses of water and pour away Taste and odour of the water may be improved by installing the enclosed water filter in the water supply. m CAUTION m The enclosed water filter will filter only particles out of the supply water, not bacteria or microbes. Dispensing ice/water ˆ Select the ice and water dispenser button (water, crushed ice or ice cubes). 20
