• 43°C. If the ambient temperature is above
• 430C, inside the appliance the temperature can increase.
• Set up the appliance far from any source of heat and fire. Placing it in a warm room, direct exposure to sunbeams or near a heat source (heaters, cookers, ovens), will increase the energy consumption and shorten the product life.
• Please observe the following minimum distances:
• 100 cm from the cookers working with coal or oil;
• 150 cm from the electric and gas cookers. ? Ensure the free circulation of the air around the appliance, by observing the distances shown in Item 2.
• Assemble on the condenser (in the rear side) the supplied spacers. (Item 3).
• Place the appliance in a perfectly even, dry and well-ventilated place.

Assemble the supplied accessories

Electric connection
Your appliance is intended to operate at a single-phase voltage of 220-240V/50 Hz. Before plugging in the appliance, please make sure that the parameters of the mains in your house (voltage, currect type, frequency) comply to the operation parameters of the appliance.

• The information concerning the supply voltage and the absorbed power is given on the marking label placed in the back side of the freezer.
• The electric installation must comply with the law requirements.
• The earthing of the appliance is compulsory. The manufacturer has no responsibility for any damage to persons, animals or goods which may arise from the failure to observe the specified conditions.
• The appliance is endowed with a supply cord and a plug (European type, marked 10/16A) with double earthing contact for safety. If the socket is not the same type as the plug, please ask a specialized electrician to change it.
• Do not use extension pieces or multiple adapters.

Switching off
The switching off must be possible by taking the plug out of the socket or by means of a main two-pole switch placed before the socket.

Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item. 4), position „MAX” being the lowest temperature. The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, and extent of filling with food of the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 320C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.

The signaling system is placed on the front side of the freezer (Item 5).

It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside temperature is adjusted.
2. green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
3. red LED – damage – lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.
4. LED Orange– fast freeze function activated
   • by setting the knob to Superfreeze position the orange led goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the “fast freeze” mode. The exit of this mode is done automatically after 50 hours then the appliance runs in economic mode, and the orange led goes off.

A device for food conservation
The freezer is intended to keep frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food. One of the main elements for successful food freezing is the packing. The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert towards the packed food, to resist to low temperatures, to be proof to liquids, grease, water vapors, and smells, to be able to be washed. These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packing: plastic or aluminum film, plastic and aluminum vessels, waxed cardboard glasses or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!

• For freezing the fresh food please use the supplied baskets of the appliance.
• Do not place into the freezer a too large quantity of food at a time. The quality of the food is best kept if they are deeply frozen as quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance specified in the “Product Fiche”.
• The fresh food must not come into contact with the food already frozen.
• The frozen food you have bought can be placed into the freezer without having to adjust the thermostat.
• If the freezing date is not mentioned on the packing, please take into consideration a period of max. 3 months, as a general guide.
• The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be frozen again, it must be consumed immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
• In case of a power failure, do not open the door of the appliance. The frozen food will not be affected if the failure lasts less than 36 hours.

For a fast thaw please leave the door open. Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice. Do not use hairdryers or other electric heating appliances for defrosting.

Inside cleaning

• Before starting the cleaning, unplug the an appliance from the mains.

Replacing the interior light bulb
If the lamp burns out, disconnect the appliance from the mains. Take out the lamp trim. Make sure the lamp is screwed correctly. Plug in the appliance again. If the lamp still does not go on, replace it with another one model E14- 15W. Mount back the lamp trim in its place. The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not suitable for household room illumination. The intended purpose of this lamp is to assist the user to place foodstuffs in the refrigerator/freezer in a safe and comfortable way.

The lamps used in this appliance have to withstand extreme physical conditions such as temperatures below -20°C. Noises during operation In order to keep the temperature at the value you have adjusted, the compressor of the appliance starts periodically. The noises which can be heard in such a situation is normal. They are reduced as soon as the appliance reaches the operation temperature. The humming noise is made by the compressor. It can become a little stronger
when the compressor starts. The bubbling and gurgling noises coming from the refrigerant circulating in the pipes of the appliance are normal operating noises.

Warning!
Never try to repair the appliance or its electric components. Any repair made by an unauthorized person is dangerous for the user and can result in warranty cancellation.
