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.

Notes on daily use

Do not put hot food in the machine.
Do not place food directly against the rear panel.
Frozen food must not be refrozen after defrosting.
Store packaged frozen food according to the instructions of the frozen food manufacturer.
Do not place carbonated fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment as the pressure they generate can cause them to explode and damage the appliance.
Open the door as rarely as possible.
Do not leave the door open too long.
Do not set the thermostat too low.
To reduce energy consumption, leave all accessories, such as drawers, shelves or racks in the appliance.

Notes on installation

Unpack the machine and check for damage. Do not connect the machine if it is damaged. Report any damage immediately to the manufacturer. Save the original packaging for possible return shipment.
Wait at least four hours before connecting the unit to allow the coolant to distribute itself in the cooling circuit.
Ensure that there is sufficient air circulation around the unit. Otherwise, the unit may overheat.
If possible, the spacers on the unit should rest against the wall. This prevents burns caused by touching the hot compressor or condenser.
The unit must not be installed near radiators or cookers.
ake sure that the mains plug is always accessible after the unit has been installed.

OPERATION

Temperature adjustment

The temperature is set by the thermostat in the top right-hand corner.
Setting 0 means that the freezer is off.
The higher the number set, the lower the temperature. For normal use, we recommend that you set the thermostat to level 3-4.

Defrost the freezer

There is a drip tray at the bottom of the freezer compartment. Ice deposits on the evaporator are automatically defrosted. The defrost water collects in the drip tray.
The drip tray can be removed to pour out the water.
Remove all food in the freezer compartment before defrosting. Store the food and in a cool place. Then remove all accessories.
To defrost, set the thermostat to position 0 or press the white button (see picture) or turn off the power. Then open the freezer door and use a cloth to remove water and moisture.

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 with adhesive 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°.
