not trapped or damaged.
– WARNING: do not attach power strips or multiple power supplies to the
rear of the device.
– To avoid contamination of food, observe the following instructions:
– Leaving the freezer door open for long periods of time can cause the inside
temperature to rise.
– Clean the surfaces that come into contact with food and with the accessible
draining systems regularly.
– Leaving the freezer door open for long periods of time can cause the inside
temperature to rise.
– The two-star compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing
or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
– Compartments with one, two and three stars are not suitable for freezing
fresh food.
– If the freezer will not be used or will be empty for long periods of time,
turn it off, allow it to defrost, clean it, dry it and leave the door open to
prevent mould growth inside the freezer.
FREON-FREE
– This freezer uses freon-free refrigerant (R600a) and foaming insulation
material (cyclopentane), which are environmentally friendly, do not cause
damage to the ozone layer and have a very low impact on global warming.
However, R600a is flammable and should not leak during normal use. In the
event of refrigerant leakage due to damage to the refrigerant circuit, be sure
to keep the appliance away from open flames and open the windows to ventilate
as soon as possible.
– WARNING: flammable material.

BEFORE USE
– This freezer features a packaging designed to protect it during transport.
Remove the freezer from its box and remove all packaging material. You can
keep the original box and other packaging in a safe place to prevent damage to
the freezer if you need to transport 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.
Pre-checking
Before starting to use the freezer, check that:
– The interior is dry and there is enough space for air to circulate freely at
the rear.
– Clean the inside of the freezer according to the recommendations in the
‘Cleaning and maintenance’ section.
– Connect the plug into a power socket; the red light on the freezer will turn
on. The green light will turnon and the compressor will start running.
– You will hear a noise indicating that the compressor has started to run.
Liquid and gases within the refrigeration system can also give rise to noises,
whether the compressor is running or not, indicating normal operation.
– If you are going to store already frozen food, open the freezer door and
check that the freezer has reached the correct temperature. You can then
introduce already frozen food.
– Do not store food in the appliance immediately after switching it on. Wait
for it to reach the correct storage temperature. It is recommended that you
check the temperature with a suitable thermometer.
Note:
– If a power failure occurs, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the power failure lasts less than 20 hours. If the power failure
lasts more than 20 hours, check the food and consume it immediately or cook
and refreeze it.
– If you find that the freezer door is difficult to open immediately after
closing it, this is normal. This is due to the pressure difference, which will
equalise and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.
INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORT
Installation instructions. Fig. 2
– If possible, avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or direct
sunlight, as this will cause the compressor to work harder than usual. If
installed next to a heat or cooling source, maintain the following minimum
distances:
– Distance to cookers: 100 mm (4″)
– Distance to radiators: 300 mm (12″)
– Distance to refrigerators: 100 mm (4″)
– Make sure that there is enough space around the appliance to ensure free air
circulation.
The ideal distance is a space of at least 100 mm around the freezer, and you
should make sure to leave gaps as shown in figure 2.
– The appliance must be placed on a smooth surface.
– Do not place the freezer in a damp place to prevent the metal parts from
rusting. Do not spray water into the freezer, this will weaken the insulation
and cause an energy leakage.
– Refer to the ’Before use’ section to prepare your device.
– If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages, etc., condensation
may form on the outside surfaces in cold weather. This is normal and not a
fault. Remove condensation with a dry cloth.
Transport instructions
– The device can only be transported in an upright position. The supplied
packaging must remain intact during transport.
– If the product is transported in a horizontal position, it should be placed
on its left side only (taking the front of the door as a reference) and should
not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to adapt after the
product has been returned to a vertical position.
– The device must be protected against rain, humidity and other atmospheric
phenomena.
Important
– When cleaning/carrying the device, be careful not to touch the metal wires
of the capacitor at the back of the device, as this may cause injury to
fingers and hands or damage to the product.
– This appliance is not designed to be installed on top of another appliance.
Do not attempt to sit or stand on your device as it is not designed for this
purpose. You could injure yourself or damage the appliance.
– Make sure that the power cord is not trapped under the appliance during and
after transporting or moving the appliance, to prevent the power cord from
being cut or damaged.
– When positioning the appliance, be careful not to damage the floor, pipes,
wall coverings, etc. Do not move the appliance by pulling on the door or
handle.
Light bulb substitution
The freezer uses a LED light that is characterised by low energy consumption
and a long service life. In case of any malfunction or anomaly, please contact
the after-sales staff. LED bulbs may only be replaced by after-sales
personnel.
OPERATION
– The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a thermostat setting
selector (Fig. 3).
– The levels on the selector do not match the exact temperature, but indicate
the following:
– 1 (refrigeration mode): temperature of 5°C.
– 2-4 (freezer mode): temperature between -12°C and -18°C.
– 4-7 (freezer mode): temperature between -18°C and -24°C.
– 7 (fast freeze option): temperature below -24°C.
– Adjust the temperature according to the situation of use.
Warning
The actual temperature of the compartment has an error margin of ±3°C compared
to the set temperature, which is a normal phenomenon and does not affect the
normal use of the product.
Fast freezing (below -24°C)
If you select the fast freezing option, you must keep the freezer in
continuous operation, the food will cool down quickly.
Warning
Select another level when you have finished using the fast freeze option. Do
not keep this option selected longer than necessary.
Refrigerator mode
– When you change the refrigerator mode to another, you must remove the food
to prevent it from spoiling when frozen.
– If you switch from freezer mode to refrigeration mode, you must follow the
steps below:
- Set the thermostat selector switch to refrigeration mode.
- Remove all frozen food from the freezer compartment and let it empty for an hour.
- Introduce the desired food.
Frozen food storage
Commercially pre-frozen food should be stored according to the supplier
instructions.
To preserve the quality of frozen food, you should remember the following:
- Place packages in the freezer as soon as possible after purchase.
- Do not exceed the best-before or use-by dates on the packaging.
Freezing of fresh food
– Place fresh food to be frozen close to the side walls to ensure fast
freezing and away from already frozen food, if possible.
– Never exceed the maximum capacity. Do not freeze large pieces at once.
– The quality of food is best preserved when it is frozen to the core as
quickly as possible.
– Do not mix frozen food with fresh food.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
– Disconnect the freezer from the mains before cleaning it.
– Never use any sharp abrasive instruments, soap, household cleaners,
detergents and wax polish for cleaning.
– Use lukewarm water to clean the freezer compartment and wipe it dry with a
cloth.
– Once the inside of the freezer is at room temperature, you can use a damp
cloth with a solution of one teaspoon of baking soda with one litre of water
to wipe the inside and dry it.
– You should regularly remove the accumulated ice with a plastic scraper. A
large accumulation of ice will have a negative effect on the performance of
the freezer.
– If the freezer is not to be used for a long period of time, turn it off,
remove all food, clean it and leave the door slightly open.
– Check the door gaskets regularly to ensure that they are clean and free of
food particles.
Warning
Never use water to wash the compressor, wipe it with a dry cloth after
cleaning it to prevent rusting.
Defrost
– Defrost the freezer twice a year or when a frost layer of about 7 mm (1/4″)
has formed.
– To ensure that frozen food is at the lowest possible temperature, 6 hours
before defrosting, set the thermostat selector to level 7 (quick freeze
option). Wrap all food in several layers of newspaper and store in a cool
place.
– Remove the water line and place it in a water container.
– Remove the basket from the freezer. Leave the door open.
– When defrosting is complete, remove any water that has accumulated in the
bottom of the freezer, as described in the section ’Water removal’, and dry
the inside of the freezer thoroughly. Set the thermostat to the fast freeze
setting for 3 hours.
Water removal. Fig. 4.
– There is a drainage outlet at the bottom of the exterior of the freezer.
When defrosting the freezer, remove the rubber cover, then the defrosting
water will be released and
discharged through the drain pipe.
– Pull out the water line, about 20-25 mm, until you can see the water hole.
– Turn the water line until the arrow points downwards.
– Make sure that the appliance does not release any more water before putting
the water line back in place and make sure that the arrow is pointing upwards.
Note
– Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects, such as knives or forks, to
remove frost.
– It is normal for water droplets or frost to appear on the freezer latch and
door seals in humid weather, which will not affect its normal use. In this
case, wipe it with a dry cloth.
Recommendations
– Close the door carefully and make sure it is completely closed after use,
otherwise the freezer will consume more energy and more ice will form.
– Check the contents of the freezer at regular intervals to ensure the
integrity of the food.
– Prepare the fresh food you want to freeze in small portions to ensure fast
freezing.
– Wrap all food in aluminium foil or plastic freezer bags and make sure to
remove the air.
– Place small items in the basket.
– Do not put hot food in the freezer. Let it cool down first.
– Do not put bottles with liquid or closed cans with carbonated beverages in
the freezer, as they may explode.
– Do not store poisonous or dangerous substances in the freezer. Your freezer
is designed to store only edible products.
