Installation and connection Selecting the location Positioning the appliance • Place the appliance in dry and well aired room. The appliance operates best at temperature ranges indicated in the chart below. Relevant class of the appliance is indicated on the rating plate.
Operating the appliance A B C D A Temperature settings knob – Switching the appliance on/off – Activating the super freeze function B Signal light on: Super freeze function is activated C Signal light on: The appliance is powered (there is voltage in the appliance) D Signal light flashing: High temperature alarm Switching on the appliance Rotate the thermostat knob A clockwise towards the thicker end of the sign.
The signal light C will remain on. C Selecting the temperature in the appliance • Recommended setting for the thermostat knob A is half way between the thinner and the thicker end of the sign. • A change in the environment temperature will affect the temperature in the appliance. The thermostat knob setting should be adjusted accordingly. Positions towards the thicker part of the sign mean a lower temperature in the appliance (cooler).
Freezing and storing frozen food Freezing process Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated on the label with basic information on the appliance. If this quantity is exceeded, freezing quality will deteriorate, as will the quality of the already frozen food. • Activate the super freeze function 24 hours before freezing fresh food: - rotate the A button to the position (signal light B will light up).
Storing pre-frozen food • When storing or using frozen food, observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Temperature and best before date are indicated on the packaging. • Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of -18°C or lower. • Do not buy a food package covered with frost, as this is a sign that the food has been slightly thawed several times. Such food is of lesser quality. • When transporting frozen food, prevent it from defrosting / thawing.
Defrosting the appliance Defrosting traditional freezer • The freezer should be defrosted 2 – 3 times a year, or more often if appliance door is opened more frequently. Moving the cold accumulators (only with some models) directly onto the frozen food in the upper freezer compartment may reduce the number of times the freezer needs to be defrosted. • 24 hours before defrosting, activate the freezer power boost to additionally cool the food (see chapter “Freezing process”).
• The condenser unit mounted on the (exterior) back wall should always be kept clean, free of dust or similar deposits. Occasionally clean the dust using a soft non-metal brush or a vacuum cleaner. • After cleaning, switch on the appliance and put the food back in.
Information on appliance noise WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHANGES THAT TO NOT AFFECT THE APPLIANCE FUNCTIONALITY. 13 456618 Cooling in the refrigerators-freezers is enabled by a cooling system with a compressor (with some appliances also a fan), which emits a certain level of noise during operation. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and appliance age. • After appliance startup, the compressor may be somewhat louder (fluid noise, noise caused by refrigerant flowing through the system).
