TECHNICAL DATA

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! This appliance is not designed for use by unsupervised children.

GENERAL

This type of refrigerator/freezer is often used in places such as hotels, offices, student accommodations, and private homes. It is primarily suitable for freezing and conserving food. Compactness, low weight, low power consumption and ease of use are just some of its advantages.
This manual contains important safety information that is to be followed by all users.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY WARNINGS

• When removing the freezer’s plug from an outlet, do not pull it out by the power cable. Grip the plug firmly and pull this.
• Be careful not to damage the power cable. Do not use the freezer if the power cable is damaged or the plug is worn.
• A worn or damaged power cable must be replaced by an authorized workshop.
• Connect the freezer to an earthed power outlet that has a minimum 10 A rating (fuse protection). The power outlet must not be shared with other electrical appliances.
• The plug must be fully inserted in the outlet. There is otherwise a risk of fire. Ensure that the power outlet is correctly earthed.
• The freezer is designed for use at AC220 – 240 V, 50 Hz. Voltage fluctuations of more than 10% from 220 – 240 V will give rise to faults or damage.
• As with all other electrical appliances, do not pull out the freezer’s plug if there is a leak of a flammable gas. A spark could cause a fire here. Turn off the gas tap/valve and open doors and windows.
• To ensure safety, it is not recommended that other electrical appliances are placed on top of the freezer.

USER SAFETY WARNINGS

• Dismantling and/or repair of the freezer by an authorized person is not forbidden. Damaging the refrigerant pipes is forbidden. The freezer may be repaired and maintained by authorized technicians only.
• To avoid danger, a damaged power cable must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized workshop or a similar.
• To guarantee good ventilation, leave sufficient free space around all sides of the freezer.
• The gaps between the freezer’s door (lid) and its body are narrow. Be careful not to catch your fingers in these. Always close the freezer door carefully so that nothing topples over.
• Take care when removing chilled food or containers from a chest freezer. Metal containers in particular can cause frost injuries.
• Do not let children get into or climb onto the freezer.
• Do not spray or let water run onto/into the freezer. Avoid locating the freezer in places where it may get splashed with water. This can impair the freezer’s electrical insulation.
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the freezer. They can fall and cause damage when the freezer door is opened.
• When there is a power outage, or when you are cleaning the freezer, always pull the plug out of the outlet. Before connecting it to the power supply, let the freezer stand idle for five minutes. The compressor may otherwise be damaged by frequent starts

OBJECT PLACEMENT WARNINGS

• Do not place combustible, explosive, volatile or strongly corrosive objects in the freezer. This can result in damage to the appliance and/or fire.
• Do not place combustible objects near the freezer. There is otherwise a risk of fire.
• This freezer is designed for domestic use and is suitable only for storing foodstuffs. In accordance with national standards, domestic freezers must not be used for other purposes (e.g. storing blood, pharmaceuticals or biological products).
• Do not place sealed bottles or other liquid-holding containers (e.g. bottles of beer) in the freezer. They can burst and cause damage.

DISPOSAL WARNINGS

The freezer’s refrigerant (R600a) and its foam material (cyclopentane) are combustible.
Discarded freezers should be kept away from sources of ignition. They must not be burned. To avoid all risk of environmental damage, take discarded freezers to an authorized, professional recycling facility.
To avoid the risk of children playing and getting trapped in discarded freezers, remove doors and shelves/baskets.

CORRECT FREEZER USE

COMPONENTS

• he low temperature of the freezer can keep food fresh for a long time, and the freezer is mainly intended for storing frozen foods and making ice.
• The freezer is suitable for the storage of meat, fish, shrimp, pastries and other foods that will not be eaten soon. Do not store fluids in bottles or closed containers, such as bottled beer, beverages, etc.
• Please note that food must be consumed within the recommended freezer storage time.
• The coldest setting can quickly freeze food in a short time. If a large amount of food is frozen at one time, it is recommended that the user adjusts the thermostat knob to the coldest setting 12 hours in advance. This increases the rate of freezing in the freezer compartment so that food can be frozen quickly, effectively preserving its nutritional content.
  • Reminder : When the thermostat knob is adjusted to the coldest setting the power consumption may increase.
  • Once the food has frozen, please turn the thermostat knob back to the normal setting.

Notice:

After long-term use, there may be a certain degree of wear to the hinges, which will make a noise when the door is opened or closed and reduce the service life of the hinges. It is recommended that you maintain the hinges by greasing them regularly, as this can effectively eliminate noise and extend the service life of the hinges.

Temperature Control

• Plug in the chest freezer and the ”power” lamp will light up (green light).
• Rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to reduce the temperature inside the chest freezer.
• “Cooling” refers to the cooling zone. “Freezing” refers to the freezing zone.
• See the diagram for the recommended settings.
• (The illustration above is only for reference. The actual configuration will depend on the individual product or statement by the distributor.)

PRODUCT FEATURES

• Reliable operation: The freezer has an efficient compressor from a well-known manufacturer. This ensures excellent performance and high dependability.
• The door includes high-quality foam.
• The door has integrated seals that are easy to remove for cleaning.
• The freezer’s refrigerant (R600a) and the blowing agent (cyclopentane) used for the insulating foam are environment-friendly choices.

LOCATION

• Before using the freezer, remove all packaging materials (this includes impact protection, foam rubber and tape from inside the freezer). Remove the protective film from the door and the sides of the freezer.
• Place the freezer indoors in a well-ventilated place. The surface must be flat, robust and durable. It is recommended that the freezer is placed on a moisture-resistant surface.
• Protect the freezer from heat sources and direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in wet or damp environments. Rust can otherwise arise and impair insulation.
• There must be at least 70 cm clear space above the freezer and at least 20 cm clear space around the sides and the rear of the freezer. This is to facilitate opening, closing and heat dissipation.
• Use a warm damp cloth to wipe the interior and exterior of the freezer (add a little detergent to warm water and give a final wipe over with water only).

STARTING

Let the freezer run for two to three hours before placing fresh or frozen foodstuffs in it. In the summer, increase this time to 4 hours. This is because the ambient temperature is higher then.

FREEZER MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

• Before you start cleaning the freezer, pull the plug out of the power outlet.
• Clean with lukewarm water and then dry with a soft cloth.
• The door seals get dirty easily. A coating may build up. Clean frequently.
• Do not rinse with water. This may impair the electrical insulation. Use a dry cloth to clean the thermostat knob and electrical components.

DEFROSTING

Defrost the freezer manually. Disconnect the freezer from the power supply. Before defrosting, open the freezer door and remove foodstuffs and containers. Open the outflow/drain holes. Place a suitable container below the outflow hole. The ice in the freezer will gradually melt. Use a dry, soft cloth to dry up the meltwater. When the ice has softened, an ice scraper can be used to remove the ice more quickly. Before removing freezer accessories, and throughout defrosting, place and keep foodstuffs in a cool place. Other than those recommended by the manufacturer, do not use any mechanical devices or other products to accelerate defrosting. Do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

SWITCHING OFF

If there is a power outage, foodstuffs remain frozen for a few hours, even in the summer. In the event of a power outage, open the freezer door as seldom as possible and do not place any unfrozen goods in the freezer.

Prior to cleaning, and if the freezer is not to be used for a long time, pull the plug out of the power outlet. At such times, keep the door slightly open. This prevents bad odors from building up. Do not place the freezer on any of its sides or upside down. The maximum angle during transport is 45°. The freezer must not be exposed to vibrations. Secure the door and hinges when moving the freezer.

We recommend running the freezer continuously once it has been started. While conditions remain normal, do not move the freezer. Moving could shorten the freezer’s service life.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The following simple problems can be dealt with by the user. Please contact our customer service department if the freezer presents any problems that you cannot solve yourself.

Heat:

• Especially in the summer, the freezer may give off heat when it is running. This is heat radiated by the compressor and is entirely normal.
• Condensation : When air humidity is high, condensation may form on the freezer’s exterior and the door’s seals. This is entirely normal. The condensation can be removed with a dry towel.
• Gurgling : Circulation in the refrigerant lines can produce gurgling noises. This does not affect functionality.
• Humming : There may be a humming noise when the compressor is running (especially during starting and stopping).
• Clicking : There is a click when the solenoid valve (electric switch valve) operates. This is entirely normal and does not affect freezer functionality
