SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should be read carefully before installing or using your freezer. IMPORTANT It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings.
INSTALLATION POSITION Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface. The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. If the room temperature exceeds 32°C, or falls below freezing point, the freezer will not function as it should. Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat, radiators, chimneys, etc., and do not place the freezer in direct sunlight.
INSTALLATION large quantities of fresh food have been placed inside. the chest lid has been open for too long. The red temperature warning light (4) and acoustic temperature warning give no warning: if the power supply is interrupted; if the thermostat is defective. Important: Check regularly on the red temperature warning light and on a thermometer placed inside whether the storage temperature is being maintained.
HOW TO USE PACKAGING AND POSITIONING Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room temperature). Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out. Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer. Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge. See under Helpful hints.
HELPFUL HINTS STORAGE Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the top edge. Never exceed the maximum storage time for purchased frozen food. When you buy frozen food, make sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you.
MAINTENANCE DEFROSTING HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer. Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be left open. A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the scraper provided.
