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:
-do not put the device to a place exposed to
sunshine ore besides a radiator or oven,
-put it to a place where the temperature of the
environment corresponds to the climatic
classification for which the device was designed.
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 knob of temperature regulator in centre with
rotating clockwise. After a weak clicking cooling
compressor will start together with slight vibration and
noise.
After operation of several hours red lamp goes out, it
indicates that correct temperature has been created in
the freezing room and equipment is ready for storage of
deep frozen goods. (See section of temperature
regulator and indicator).
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 –18°C.
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 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Press the square “Super” button (yellow light comes
on). The freezer will now run continuously, creating a
sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Press the “Super” button 6-24 hours before placing
fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much
food is be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the “Super”
button on for about 24 hours more.
The 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 moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying out.
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 in the data
plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if
you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate
is located on the back gide of the appliance.
