Check that the cabinet is undamaged.
Please report any transport damage
immediately to your dealer.
Wash the cabinet and inner lining with a
mild unscented detergent and wipe it dry.
Do not use abrasive scouring powder, steel
wool or similar.
Connection to the electricity supply: See
head (7) and (8).

(stop) to 7 (coldest). Find the position of the

temperature. Start at position 4.
Operating panel. See fig. (1) page 21.
Deep-freezing: Push the button (5). The
yellow indicator will then glow. It stops
glowing when the button is pushed anew.
When the quantity of foodstuffs to be frozen
is larger than 3 kg the button for deep-
freezing should be pushed about 24 hours
before the desired freezing.
The button is pushed anew when the
foodstuffs are frozen.
It is important that the deep-freezing takes
place as quickly as possible. Therefore, the
temperature of the foodstuffs should be no
higher than room temperature.
Otherwise follow the advice given in hand-
books on deep-freezing and the choice of
packing material.
Place the foodstuffs so that they obtain
maximum contact with the freezing shelf.
Open the door only when necessary. The
lamp of the alarm knob, fig. (1). page 21,
indicates whether the acoustic alarm is on. If
the lamp is lit the acoustic alarm will sound if
the temperature is too high.
Please note that the water ices, if consumed
immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment may result in a freezer-burn,
and they should be allowed to warm slightly
before consumption.
Defrosting
The foodstuffs cause frost to be formed. A
thin layer of frost does not affect the perfor-
mance of the freezer.
Loose frost may be removed carefully with a
plastic or wooden scraper. Never use a knife
or other sharp tools. When the layer of frost
on the shelves is 5-10 mm the freezer should
be defrosted.
Note: The layer of frost on the front edge of
the top freezing shelf may grow slightly
thicker.
Do like this:
Switch off the freezer.
Take out the foodstuffs and wrap them in
newspaper, a blanket or similar and store
them as cold as possible.
Place a bowl with hot but not boiling water in
the freezer.
Fold out the draining spout, mount the
enclosed extension and place a bowl under
it, fig. (3) page 21.
Wipe the cabinet when the frost has disap-
peared.
