Before turning on:
•
Remove base from packaging.
Remove wedges and tapes from the
internal components.
•
Clean your product inside with a soft
cloth or sponge, lukewarm water and
mild soap.
•
Do not use sharp objects, alcohol,
flammable products or abrasive
cleaners. They can damage the
painting of your freezer and/or
refrigerant circuit.
•
Do not place nor use electrical
apparatuses within the product.
Important:
•
Never connect your freezer to
double or triple extension cords
together with another appliance
in the same wall outlet.
Do not use an extension cord.
That may overload power supply,
impairing the operation
of your freezer, and
resulting in fire
accidents.
Use an exclusive
wall outlet only.
•
If you live in an area where there
are voltage oscillations greater
than 10% of the rated voltage, do
not plug your freezer directly into
the wall socket.
•
In case of voltage oscillation,
install an automatic voltage
stabilizer with power output of at
least 1000W between the freezer
and the wall outlet.
•
Be sure that the voltage stabilizer
can withstand the oscillations in
your area.
Where do I Start?
Excessive Weight Injury Harzard
Use two or more people to move

Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death,
fire or electrical shock.
Ground wire (grounding):
•
Grounding is necessary in any voltage
(127 or 220V), and for any electric
electronic appliance. The grounding
wire shall not be connected to the
neutral conductor of the power
system, nor to cable tubing, gas or
water pipes, taps or faucets.
When grounding, follow the
grounding standards in force and call
an authorized electrician.
The incorrect installation of the
ground wire might result in accidents
such as fire, electrical shock or other
personal injuries.
•

Location:
The freezer shall neither be installed next
to heat sources (stoves, heaters etc.) nor
in a place that receives
direct sun rays.
The installation in an
inadequate place impairs
the operation of your
freezer and increases
power consumption.
How to build in:
Consider the following minimum
distances to assure adequate air
circulation:
•
10 cm on the sides.
•
10 cm at the rear.
•
15 cm on the top.
15 cm
10 cm
10 cm
Power supply of your residence:
The electric wires of your residence shall
be of copper and have minimum sections
of 2.5mm
2
.
By doing so you will ensure the good
performance of the product.
You will also prevent your freezer
components from touching walls, other
products or furniture avoiding
unpleasant noise.
Leveling feet:
Place the freezer in its final position.
Turn the leveling feet
located in the front of
the product so that they
touch the floor, locking
and leveling the
product.
4
Important:
•
To facilitate the closing of doors,
turn the leveling feet a little
further, slightly tilting the product
backwards.
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials such
as gasoline away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in
death, explosion, or fire.
Fire Hazard
Never place lit candles or similar
products (oil lamp) on top of the
freezer.
Failure to follow this instruction
can result in life or fire risk.
Door reversal:
Your freezer leaves factory opening to
the left. In case you wish the doors to
open to the right, call a service agent or
your dealer to avoid the risk of
accidents. Door reversal is not covered
by the warranty. This service will be
charged.
Heating on the sides:
•
Heating of some external areas of
the freezer is normal.
That happens to avoid the
formation of moisture. However,
under critical conditions of room
temperature and humidity,
moisture may be observed.
Dry the product with a soft cloth.
•
If your appliance does not have a
plug with a ground pin, connect
the ground wire of the freezer (the
green wire attached to the back of
the appliance) to a proper ground.
•
If the power supply cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by
one of the same type or by
a special set provided by the
manufacturer or its authorized
technical service.

STORING FOOD AND
BEVERAGES
•
Food shall be stored in adequate
packages like plastic
bags or containers
with hermetic lids.
This procedure
avoids the removal
of natural humidity
from the food,
preserving quality.

Cold days with temperatures below 20°C
Days with temperatures between 20°C and 35°C
Hot days with temperatures above 35°C
•
When storing food in the freezer,
prepare small portions to allow faster
freezing and the entire use of each
portion.
•
Do not place hot foods inside the
freezer. Allow them
to cool to room
temperature.

FAST FREEZING
Fast freezing is an effective way to
preserve the natural characteristics of
food. When fast freezing, the ice
crystallization phase - that takes place
between 0°C and -5°C - is faster which
minimizes the loss of water in the food
and preserves its natural constitution.
