Opening and closing the lid

As the lid is equipped with a tightly closing seal, it is not easy to reopen it shortly after closing (due to the vacuum formed inside).

Wait a few minutes before reopening the appliance. The vacuum valve will help you to open the lid.

Warning! Never pull the handle with immense force.

Storage baskets

Hang the baskets on the upper edge of the freezer (X) or place them inside the freezer

(Y). Turn and fix the handles for these two positions as shown in the picture.

The baskets will slide into each other. The following pictures show how many baskets can be placed inside the various freezer models.

You can purchase additional baskets from your local Service Centre.

Low frost System

The appliance is equipped with Low frost System (you can see a valve inside the freezer in the backside) what reduces ice-build-up in the chest freezer by up to 80 percent. That means for you up to 5 years without defrosting.
