Warning!
Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life- endangering situations.
Disposal
The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
The refrigerating circuit may not be damaged. Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained from the disposal authorities or town hall.
INSTALLATION
POSITION (1)
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface.
The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the device. Therefore:
Climatic classification | Ambient temperature limits |
SN | from +10°C to +32°C |
N | from +16°C to +32°C |
ST | from +18°C to +38°C |
T | from +18°C to +43°C |
If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.
SWITCHING ON FREEZER BOX (2)
Close top of freezer box installed in accordance with specifications down then connect equipment with mains as specified above. At this time electric components inside will be energised.
Adjust the temperature regulator knob in the centre with rotating clockwise. After a weak clicking cooling compressor will start together with slight vibration and noise.
HOW TO USE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL (3)
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no. 1 makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be
found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands.
As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately.
This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is quite normal.
Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently).
Top has closed and opened position. Movement over open position of top (about 95°) can cause damage.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.
If more than
Press the square “Super” button (yellow light comes on). The freezer will now run continuosly, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Press the “Super” button
Place the food in the freezer and leave the “Super” button on for about 24 hours more.
Then press the “Super” button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the “Super” button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the “Super” setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge.
See under “Helpful hints”.
CAPACITY (4)
The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated on the rating plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The rating plate is located on the back side of the appliance.
