ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS.
Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located
inside the lid.
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
this appliance complies with the following EC Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19. 02. 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive.
Some of the models are not available in all countries. Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO 5155 regarding the deter-
mination of freezer capacity, energy consumption and hold-overtime. Information for test institute: A plan of the positioning of test
packages may be obtained directly from the manufacturer.
SWITCHING ON FREEZER BOX
Close top of freezer box installed in accordance with specifications down then connect equipment with mains as specified above.
At this time electric components inside will be energised. Adjust knob of temperature regulator in centre with rotating clockwise. After
a weak clicking cooling compressor will start together with slight vibration and noise.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermo-
stat button towards
“”makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards
“”makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the tempera-
ture of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than
–18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost
formed. When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. As soon as the lid is closed again
the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has
been closed. This is quite normal.
Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently.) Top has
closed and opened position. Movement over open position of top (about 95°) can cause damage.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the
freezer is heated as little as possible.If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen: Turn the thermostat
button to the coldest setting
“”. The freezer will now run continuously, creating a sufficient
reserve of the temperature required. Turn the thermostat button 6-24 hours before placing new food
in the freezer, depending on how much food is to be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave
the thermostat set at
“”for about 24 hours more. Then turn the thermostat button back again.
The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to turn the thermostat button back,
the freezer will not be damaged by running at this setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.
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 tem-
perature. Do not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging. Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as pos-
sible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you. Never place bottles, warm objects, or fizzy
drinks in the freezer.
FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot dishes to room temperature as quickly as possible before placing them in the freez-
er. Wrap food carefully in freezer foil, or use the special freezer boxes or bags which are on the market. Divide food into small portions
before freezing - this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and means that you only need to defrost the amount needed for immediate
consumption. Remember that defrosted food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have been made using defrosted food
may be frozen. Mark the freezer packaging with the date of freezing. We recommend keeping a record of the contents of your freez-
er. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen deteriorates. Consequently, do not freeze larger amounts than stated in
the freezer’s data plate. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, the maximum freezing capacity stated per day is reduced by
about one-third. As far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If you know nothing about home freezing, we recommend that
you purchase a book containing advice and guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to defrost
large portions of meat or poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter
and sliced meat). Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer. A good number of ready-to-cook dishes can also
be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the instructions on product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a mod-
erate oven. Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for use of the
microwave oven concerned.
