1 Important Safety Instructions These warnings are provided in the interests of your safety. Ensure that you understand them all before installing or using this appliance. Your safety is of paramount importance. If you are unsure about any of the meanings or these warnings contact the Customer Care Department. Prior to Installation • Check the freezer for transport damage. Under no circumstances should a damaged appliance be installed! In the event of damage, please contact your retailer.
Environmental Information Packaging Old Appliances All transit packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be reused. Wood is untreated. The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are pure hydrocarbon compounds and can be recycled. The carton parts are made from recycled paper. Please dispose of the packaging with due care for the environment.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated, dry room. Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore – not be exposed to direct sunlight; – not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat; – only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is inside, on the left. The appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted.
Ice packs There are two ice packs in the drawer in the freezer compartment. Refer to the section “Prior to Initial Start–Up” concerning freezing of the ice packs. 3 The ice packs can only fulfil this task optimally if they are placed in the uppermost drawer, at the front, above the frozen food. You can use the ice packs for cooling cold bags. In the event of a power failure or malfunction, the ice packs will lengthen the amount of time it takes for the frozen food to become too warm by several hours.
Initial use Important! Only use the appliance when correctly installed! 1 Pilot light (green) 2 Warning Display (red) 3 Fast freeze light (yellow) The temperature regulator is also the ON/OFF switch. A coin in needed to turn the temperature regulator. This makes it is more difficult to change the temperature setting accidentally (child protection). The temperature regulator setting shown means: refrigeration off.
Controls Pilot light 0 Switch off the warning tone by pressing the fast freeze button. The yellow fast freeze light illuminates. The red warning light remains illuminated until the required temperature has been reached again. 0 After the storage temperature has been reached, press the fast freeze button again to switch off the fast freeze function. The yellow light goes out. The green pilot light is illuminated when the appliance is switched on and mains power is present.
Caution! Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your hands could freeze to the food. 0 Place the packed food in the drawers. Unfrozen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozen food could begin to defrost. Tips: • The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods: – freezer bags and polyethylene wraps; – special cans for frozen goods; – extra–thick aluminium foil. • The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap: plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.
Storage Goods Symbols/Freezing Calendar • The symbols on the drawers show different types of frozen goods. • The numbers indicate storage times in months for the appropriate types of frozen goods. Whether the upper or lower value of the indicated storage time is valid depends on the quality of the foods and pre-treating before freezing. The lower value applies to foods with high fat content.
Hints and Tips Normal Operating Sounds • You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator. • When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor. • A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when the thermostat cuts in and out.
