Before Using

• Before connecting the appliance to the mains supply, leave it

to rest in its place for about 2 hours. In this way you reduce

a possibility of troubles occurring in cooling system due to

transport handling.

• Remove the two plastic spacers which are situated under

the lid and protecting the seal against damages

during transport.

• Clean the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water into

which you have added a few drops of vinegar or baking soda

(1 tablespoon per 1 liter of water).

Instructions for Use

These instructions for use are intended for the user of the

appliance.They describe the appliance and its correct and safe

use. They relate to various types of freezers therefore you will

find among them also those functions which do not apply to

your appliance.

We Care for the Environment

• Our products use environmentally friendly packaging, which

can be either recycled or disposed of in an environmentally

friendly manner. To this end, individual packaging materials

are clearly marked.

• These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or

chlorine free bleached paper.

• When your appliance finally wears out, please try not to

burden the environment with it; call your nearest authorised

service agent. (See Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)

Energy Saving

• Do not open the lid more frequently than it is necessary as

too frequent openings of the lid cause temperature rises in

the freezer, excessive formation of frost and consequently

higher energy consumption.

• Take care not to leave the lid open too long, particularly if

the ambient air is hot and humid.

• It is recommendet to remove the frost layer when it is 3 to 5

mm thick.

• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods,

make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.

• If the termostat knob is set towards max (6), do not forget

turn it towards min (1) if intensive cooling is no more

necessary.

• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is

poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To

restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free

of dust or any impurities.

• Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning

and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption

is substantially higher.

Important

• If you have purchased a new appliance to replace an old one

which is equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from

inside (lock, bolt), take care that the lock is made unfit. In

this way you will reduce a risk of children getting in danger of

being suffocated in the cell.

• Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the mains supply.

• During the operation do not touch the cooled surfaces of the

appliance, especially not if your hands are wet, because the

skin might stick to these very cold surfaces.

• Do not freeze up bottled drinks, especially not fizzy ones

such as mineral water, sparkling wine, beer, cola etc.,

because the liquid expands when freezing and the glass

bottle may explode.

• Avoid to eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because

you can get frost burns.

• Carefully check the foods for color and smell and if you are

in doubt about their quality, throw them away because they

may be dangerous for eating.

• You must disconnect the appliance from the mains in the

following cases:

− before the repair (only a qualified technician should repair

it),

− before cleaning,

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

To ensure a good ventilation it's best to leave at least 5cm of free space on both sides and the back of the freezer.

De door of my freezer will not close properly, why is that? Verified

The two most common causes are that the freezer is not level and that the door seal is damaged or has food remains on it. Make sure the freezer is level and check the door seal. Replace the seal if neccesary.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
