SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

General Hints

This device may be only used by children 8 years old or older and persons with limited physical, sensory and mental capabilities and / or lack of experience and knowledge, provided that they have been instructed in use of the device by a responsible person who understands the associated risks.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are aged from 8 years and above and supervised.
Keep all packaging well away from children. There is risk of suffocation.
If you are discarding the appliance pull the plug out of the socket, cut the connection cable (as close to the appliance as you can) and remove the door to prevent playing children to suffer electric shock or to close themselves into it.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Do not use other electrical appliances (such as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances, unless they are approved for this purpose by the manufacture.
Do not touch the light bulb if it has been on for a long period of time because it could be very hot.
It is dangerous to alter the specifications or modify this product in any way. Any damage to the cord may cause a short circuit, fire and/or electric shock.
The appliance is not designed for commercial use. It is intended for use in domestic households and in similar working and residential environments, such as staff kitchen areas, farm houses, hotels, motels and bed and breakfast type environments.
If the supply cord or the plug are damaged, they must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person.
This appliance contains the coolant isobutane (R600a),a natural gas which is environmentally friendly. Although it is flammable, it does not damage the ozone layer and does not increase the greenhouse effect. The use of this coolant has,however,led to a slight increase in the noise level of the appliance. In addition to the noise of the compressor,you might be able to hear the coolant flowing around the system. This is unavoidable,and does not have any adverse effect on the performance of the appliance. Care must be taken during the transportation and setting up of the appliance that no parts of the cooling system are damaged. Leaking coolant can damage the eyes.
Power cord must not be lengthened.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the appliance. A squashed or damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.
Make sure that you can come to the mains plug of the appliance.
Do not pull the mains cable.
This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.
Do not remove nor touch items from the freezer compartment if you hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to direct sunlight.
Do not put hot on the plastic parts in the appliance.
Do not place food products directly against the rear wall.
Do not place carbonated of fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as it creates pressure on the container, which may cause it to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance.

Hints on Cleaning

Before maintenance, switch off the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Do not clean the appliance with metal objects.
Do not use sharp objects to remove frost from the appliance. Use a plastic scraper.
Regularly examine the drain in the freezer for defrosted water. If necessary, clean the drain. If the drain is blocked, water will collect in the bottom of the appliance.

Hints on Installation

Unpack the appliance and check if there are damages on it. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged. Report possible damages immediately to the place you bought it. In that case retain packing.
It is advisable to wait at least four hours before connecting the appliance to allow the oil to flow back in the compressor.
Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance, lacking this leads to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to installation.
The appliance must not be located close to radiators or cookers.
Make sure that the mains plug is accessible after the installation of the appliance.
Any electrical work required to do the servicing of the appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

Special Notes

Children between the ages of 3 and 8 are allowed to fi ll refrigerators with food and remove food.
When positioning the unit, make sure that the power cord is not pinched or damaged.
Make sure that there are no multiple sockets or power supplies on the back of the unit.
To avoid contamination of food, please follow the instructions below:
A prolonged opening of the door can lead to a signifi cant rise in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food. Clean the water drain regularly.
Store raw meat and fi sh in suitable containers in the freezer so that meat and fish do not come into contact with or drip on other foods.
Notes on the freezer compartments
Two-star freezer compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen foods, storing or making ice cream and making ice cubes.
One-, two- and three-star freezer compartments are not suitable for freezing fresh food.
If the freezer remains empty for an extended period, turn it off, defrost it, clean it, dry it and leave the door open to prevent mould from forming in the appliance.

WARNING

When using, servicing and disposing of the unit, pay attention to the left symbol on the rear of the unit or on the compressor. This symbol warns of possible fi res. There are flammable substances in the refrigerant lines and in the compressor. Keep the appliance away from sources of fire during use, maintenance and disposal.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before use, remove all packing materials, including bottom cushions, foam pads and tapes inside of the freezer; tear off the protective film on the doors and the freezer body.
Keep away from heat and avoid direct sunlight. Do not place the freezer in moist or watery places to prevent rust or reduction of insulating effect.
Do not spray or wash the freezer; do not put the freezer in moist places easy to be splashed with water so as not to affect the electrical insulation properties of the freezer.
The freezer is placed in a well-ventilated indoor place; the ground shall be flat, and sturdy (rotate left or right to adjust the wheel for levelling if unstable).
The top space of the freezer shall be greater than 70 cm, and The freezer should be placed against a wall with a free distance more than 20 cm to facilitate heat dissipation.

Note: Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and accessories with lukewarm water and a little detergent to remove the typical smell of the new product. Dry the interior and all parts carefully afterwards.

You can set the temperature with the control knob on the thermostat. The further you move the knob towards level “3”, the lower the temperature. This setting is usually sufficient. The temperature is highest at level 1 and lowest at level 4. The actual temperature depends on the amount of food and how often the door is opened. To save electricity, we recommend that you do not overfill the appliance and that you open the door as seldom as possible.

CLEANING AND CARE

Defrosting the freezer

Over time, the freezer becomes increasingly covered with ice. The ice should be removed regularly. Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off ice, as this could damage the unit. If the ice layer becomes very thick, proceed as follows:

Disconnect the plug from the socket.
Remove all food, wrap it in several layers of newsprint and store it in a cool place.
Leave the door open and place a drip pan under the unit to collect the condensation.
Dry the interior thoroughly after defrosting.

In case of a power failure

In the event of a power outage, the chilled food will last for several hours. In this case, open the freezer as rarely as possible and do not add any other food.

If you do not use the freezer for a longer period of time

Unplug the power cord and clean the unit. Leave the door open to avoid unpleasant odours.

If you need to move the freezer

Before moving the unit, remove all food in it. Secure all moving internal parts withadhesive tape and screw the levelling feet completely into the device. Close the door and tape it in place.

Note : The unit must not be transported upside down or horizontally. Avoid shocks and do not tilt the unit more than 45°.
