Note:
– The graphics in this manual are schematic representations and may not exactly match the product.
– To make the most out of the freezer in terms of energy, place all the shelves and drawers in their original position, that is, as shown in figure 1.

BEFORE USE

– This freezer includes a packaging designed to protect it during transport. Take the freezer out of its box. You can keep the original box and other elements in a safe place,  this will help you prevent product damage when transporting it in the future. In case the original packaging is disposed of, make sure all packaging materials are recycled  accordingly.
– Make sure all parts and components are included and in good conditions. If there is any piece missing or not in good condition, immediately contact the Technical Support  Service of Cecotec.

INSTALLATION

Preparing for use
– The location you choose for the freezer must be properly ventilated and away from heat sources. Do not place the freezer near heat sources, like a cooker, and avoid direct  sunlight to ensure the cooling effect and save on energy consumption. It is not recommended to place the freezer in a wet place, as it may rust and cause electrical leakage.  The result of dividing the total space of the room in which the freezer is installed by the amount of refrigerant load in the freezer must not be less than 8 g/m 3.
– During operation, the freezer releases heat into the environment. Therefore, you should leave at least 30 mm of free space at the top, more than 100 mm on both sides and  more than 50 mm at the rear of the freezer.

Fig. 2
Note
Figure 2 only illustrates the space required for the freezer.

Stable surface
Place the freezer on a solid, flat surface to keep it stable, otherwise vibrations and noises will occur.
Ensure a ventilation free of obstacles around the freezer.

Waiting time
Once the freezer is installed and clean, do not turn it on immediately, wait at least 1 hour before connecting it to the power supply.

On
– Connect the plug into a power socket to switch on the freezer. After one hour, open the freezer compartment door, if the temperature inside the freezer compartment has  clearly dropped, the cooling system is operating normally.
– Once the freezer is operating and the temperature inside has considerably decreased, you can introduce food.
– If the freezer is installed in a wet place, you must check the earthed cord and the leakage breaker are working normally. If vibration noises occur due to contact of the freezer with the wall or if the wall turns black due to air convection around the compressor, remove the freezer from the wall.
– The installation of the freezer may cause interference in mobile phones, landline phones, radio receivers or televisions near the refrigerator, so in this case, keep the freezer  as far away from these objects as possible.

INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE

Use cautions
– The freezer may not operate consistently (there may be some defrosting of the contents or the temperature may become too hot) if placed in locations with a temperature  out of the temperature range for which they are designed for a long period of time.
– The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the freezer, room temperature and the door opening frequency, etc., and you should take these  factors into account if you decide to use any temperature control devices.
– Do not store effervescent or carbonated drinks inside the device when the freezer mode is active.

Food storage
– Refrigerator mode: it is suitable to store food that does not need to be frozen, cooked food, soft drinks, eggs, milk, juice, etc.
– The freezer compartment is suitable to store ice cream, frozen foods and food that needs to be kept for a long time.
– Drawers: pull the drawer to access food.

Care for food storage
– Clean and dry food completely before storing it in the device. Before introducing food in the device, it is advisable to seal it to prevent water evaporation and thus keep fruit and vegetables fresh on the one hand, and to prevent odours on the other.
– Leave enough space between the food; if they are too close together, they will block the flow of cold air, which will affect the cooling effect. Do not store too much or too  heavy food to prevent the shelves from bending. When storing food, leave a distance from the interior wall; do not place water-rich food too close to the rear wall of the  appliance when the refrigerator mode is activated, to prevent them from freezing on the inside wall.
– Food storage by category: place daily food items at the front of the shelf so that you can reduce the door opening time and avoid food spoilage due to shelf life.
– Energy saving tips: let hot food cool to room temperature before introducing it in the device.
– Please note that some foods are sensitive to cold and are therefore not suitable for storage in the appliance.

Use of the freezer mode
– This mode is advisable for storing food that you wish to keep for a long period of time, always respecting the storage time indicated on the food packaging.
– Large fish and meat should be cut into small pieces and placed in freezer bags before placing them in the freezer compartment drawers.
– Let hot food cool down to room temperature before introducing it in the freezer compartment.
– Do not place a glass container with liquid or sealed canned liquid in the freezer to prevent them from exploding due to volume expansion after freezing the liquid.
– Food should be packed or covered with suitable materials that are firm, tasteless, impermeable to air and water, non-toxic and non-polluting, to avoid cross-contamination and odour transfer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time:
– Turn off the freezer and unplug it from the power supply.
– Remove all the food.
– Clean and dry the interior completely. To prevent mould or unpleasant odours from forming, leave the door slightly open: lock it open or remove it if necessary.
– Store the appliance in a ventilated and dry place, away from heat sources; place the appliance carefully and do not place heavy objects on it.
– The device must be kept out of the reach of children to prevent them from playing with it.
Before cleaning, disconnect the power plug; do not connect or disconnect the power plug with your hands wet, as there is a risk of electric shock and injury. Do not spill  water directly on the freezer to avoid rust, electrical leakage and accidents. Do not reach into the bottom of the freezer, as you may get scratched by the sharp metal corners.

Interior and exterior cleaning
– Food residues in the freezer can cause undesired odours, so you should clean the freezer regularly. The refrigerator compartment should be cleaned once a month.
– Remove all drawers and clean them with a soft cloth or sponge dampened with warm water or neutral detergent.
– Clean the dust that accumulates on the rear panel and side panels of the freezer regularly.
– After using detergent, make sure you rinse it with clean water, and then dry it with a cloth.
– Do not use bristle brushes, steel wire brushes, detergent, soap powder, alkaline detergent, benzine, petrol, acid, hot water or other corrosive elements to clean the freezer surface, door gasket, plastic decorative parts, etc., to avoid damage.
– Carefully dry the door gasket and clean the slot with a wooden stick wrapped with cotton. After cleaning, fix the four corners of the door gasket and then gradually push it  into the slot in the door.

Power failure or cooling system fault
If you receive an early power failure warning:
– Activate the fast freeze function, so that food is completely frozen. Set the temperature back to the original setting when the power supply returns to normal.

Note:
It is advisable to run the freezer uninterruptedly once you start using it.

Defrost
This freezer includes an automatic defrost function, so there is no need to defrost it manually.

Light bulb substitution
The freezer has a LED light with low consumption and a long shelf life. In case of malfunction, contact the official Technical Support Service of Cecotec. The light bulb can  only be substituted by the manufacturer.

Note:
If the power cord and/or plug are damaged or dusty, electric shock and fire may occur. If there is any malfunction, disconnect the cord and contact the Technical Support Service of Cecotec.
