ALARM FOR FREEZER

When powered, and the inside tem-

perature has reached the higher degree

≥-10°C, then the indicator starts to work.

When temperature ≥ -10°C, The indica-

tor light begins to ash, and at the same

time, the alarm sounds 3 times per 10

Important! - Normally we advise

you select setting of Mid, if you

want the temperature warmer or

colder please turn the knob to

lower or higher setting accor-

dingly. When you turn the knob to

lower which can lead to the more

energy-saving. Otherwise, itwould

result the high energy-consuming.

Important! - High ambient tem-

peratures (e.g. on hot summer

days) and a cold setting on the

temperature regulator (position

Colder) can cause the compres-

sor to run continuously or even

non-stop!

Reason: when the ambient temperature

is high, the compressor must run con-

tinuously to maintain the low tempera-

ture in the appliance.

DAILY USE

Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable

for freezing fresh food and storing

frozen and deep-frozen food for a

long time.

• Place the fresh food to be frozen in

the bottom compartment.

• The maximum amount of food that

can be frozen in 24 hours is specied

on the rating plate, a label located on

the inside of the appliance.

• The freezing process lasts 24 hours:

during this period do not add other

food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food

When rst starting-up or after a period

out of use. Before putting foodstuffs in

the compartment let the appliance run at

least 2 hours on the higher settings.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freez-

ing process, here are some important

hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on

the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours.

No further food to be frozen should be

added during this period;

• only freeze top quality, fresh and

thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to en-

able it to be rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it possible sub-

sequently to thaw only the quantity

required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil

or polythene and make sure that the

packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,

thus avoiding a rise in temperature of

the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the stor-

age life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer com-

partment, can cause the skin to be

freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing

date on each individual pack to en-

able you to keep tabs on the storage

time.

Important! In the event of ac-

cidental defrosting, for example

the power has been off for longer

than the value shown in the

technical characteristics chart

under “rising time”, the defrosted

food must be consumed quickly

or cooked immediately and then

re-frozen.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to use,

can be thawed in the freezer compart-

ment or at room temperature, depending

on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still

frozen, directly from the freezer. In this

case, cooking will take longer.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one

or more trays for the production of ice-

cubes.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning

For hygiene reasons the appliance

interior, including interior accessories,

should be cleaned regularly.

Caution! The appliance must not

be connected to the mains during

cleaning. Danger of electrical

shock! Before cleaning switch

the appliance off and remove the

plug from the mains, or switch off

or turn out the circuit breaker or

fuse. Never clean the appliance

with a steam cleaner. Moisture

could accumulate in electrical

components, danger of electrical

shock! Hot vapours can damage

plastic parts. The appliance must

be dry before it is placed back

into service.

Important! Ethereal oils and or-

ganic solvents can attack plastic

parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice

from orange peel, butyric acid,

cleaners that contain acetic acid

• Do not allow such substances to

come into contact the appliance parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

• Remove foodstuffs from the freezer.

Store them in a cool place, well

covered.

• Switch the appliance off and remove

the plug from the mains, or switch off

or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse.

• Clean the appliance and the interior

accessories with a cloth and luke-

warm water. After cleaning wipe with

fresh water and rub dry.

• Accumulation of dust at the condens-

er increases energy consumption.

For this reason carefully clean the

condenser at the back of the appli-

ance once a year with a soft brush or

a vacuum cleaner.

• After everything is dry place appli-

ance back into service.

Defrosting of the freezer

The freezer compartment, however,

will become progressively covered with

frost. This should be removed. Never

use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost

from the evaporator as you could dam-

age it. However, when the ice becomes

very thick on the inner liner, complete

defrosting should be carried out as fol-

lows:

• pull out the plug from the socket;

• remove all stored food, wrap it in

several layers of newspaper and put it

in a cool place;

• keep the door open, and place a

basin underneath the appliance to

collect the defrost water;

• when defrosting is completed, dry the

interior thoroughly.

• Replace the plug in the power socket

to run the appliance again.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially

frozen foodstuffs were adequately

stored by the retailer;

• ensure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely neces-

sary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the food manufacturer.

or the appliance is running

in Super Freeze mode.

Turn the temperature re-

gulator to a warmer setting

temporarily or press the

“Super freeze” button to

stop Super freeze mode.

The food is not

frozen enough.

Temperature is not properly

adjusted.

Please look in the initial

Control Panel section.

plate of the appliance:

Location

The appliance should be installed well

away from sources of heat such as

radiators, boilers, direct sunlight etc.

Ensure that air can circulate freely

around the back of the cabinet. To en-

sure best performance, if the appliance

is positioned below an overhanging wall

unit, the minimum distance between the

top of the cabinet and the wall unit must

be as least 100 mm. Ideally, however,

the appliance should not be positioned

below overhanging wall units. Accurate

levelling is ensured by one or more ad-

justable feet at the base of the cabinet.

Warning! It must be possible to

disconnect the appliance from

the mains power supply; the plug

must therefore be easily acces-

sible after installation

Electrical connection

Before plugging in, ensure that the

voltage and frequency shown on the

rating plate correspond to your domestic

power supply. The appliance must be

earthed. The power supply cable plug is

provided with a contact for this purpose.
