Warnings and general advice

• Do not plug in the appliance if you noticed a failure.
• The repairs must be done only by qualified personnel.
• In the following situations please unplug the appliance from the mains:
  – when you defrost completely the appliance;
  – when you clean the appliance.

To unplug the appliance, pull by the plug, not by the cable!

• Ensure the minimum space between the appliance and the wall against which it is placed.

• Do not climb on the appliance.

• Do not allow the children to play or hide inside the appliance.

• Never use electric appliances inside the freezer, for defrosting.

• Do not use the appliance near heating appliances, cookers, or other sources of heat and fire.

• Do not leave the freezer door open more than it is necessary to put in or take out the food.

• Do not leave the food in the appliance if it is not working.

• Do not keep inside products containing flammable or explosive gases.

• Do not keep fizzy drinks (juice, mineral water, champagne, etc.) in the freezer: the bottle can explode! Do not freeze drinks in plastic bottles.

• Do not eat ice cubes or ice cream immediately after having taken them out of the freezer because they may cause „freezer burns”.

• Never touch cold metal parts or frozen food with wet hands because your hands can quickly freeze on very cold surfaces.

• For the protection of the appliance during warehousing and transport, it is provided with spacers between the door and the cabinet (on the front and rear side). These spacers will be removed before putting the appliance into operation.

• Excess deposits of ice on the frame and the baskets should be removed regularly with the plastic scraper provided. Do not use any metal parts to remove the ice. The presence of this ice build-up makes it impossible to close the door correctly.

  – unplug the appliance;
  – empty the freezer;
  – defrost it and clean it;
  – leave the door open to avoid the formation of unpleasant smells.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• If your appliance has a lock, keep it locked and store the key in a safe place, out of the reach of children. If you are discarding an appliance with a lock, make sure that, is made ineffective. This is very important so as to avoid children being trapped inside, which may cause their loss of life.

**Setting up

**

This appliance was designed to operate at an ambient temperature between +10 0 C and 0 +43 C (SN-T class). If the ambient temperature is above +43 0 C, 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, the 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 the condenser (on the rear side) of 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 230V/50 Hz. Before plugging in the appliance, please make sure that the parameters of the mains in your house (voltage, current type, frequency) comply with the operation parameters of the appliance.

• The information concerning the supply voltage and the absorbed power is given on the marking label placed on the backside 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 mains 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 the place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, and extent of filling with food in the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors.
Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 32 0 C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.
The signaling system is placed on the backside 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.
   The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the freezer.

Advice for food conservation
The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food.
One of the main elements for successful food freezing is packing.
The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert to the packed food, to resist 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 packings: 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 30 hours.
Freezing with Superfrost

• Place the knob in the super frost position. The Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In order to achieve fast freezing, food should be in contact with the interior walls when it is placed in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically switches the fast freezing procedure off after 50 hours.

Important
When you place the knob in the Superfrost position, the compressor might not switch on for a few minutes. This is due to the integrated rise-delay switch which is designed to increase the life span of the refrigeration unit.
You should not switch on the Superfrost function:
– when placing frozen food in the freezer;
– when freezing up to approx. 2 kg of fresh food daily.
Defrosting of the appliance

• We advise you to defrost the freezer at least twice a year or when the ice layer has an excessive thickness.
• The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
• The quantity and the rapidity of ice buildup depend on the ambient conditions and on the frequency of the door opening.
• We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
• Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat knob to a higher position so that the food stores are colder.
  – Unplug the appliance.
  – Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper, and put them in the refrigerator or a cool place.

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 appliance from the mains.

• It is advisable to clean the appliance when you defrost it.
• Wash the inside with lukewarm water where you add some neutral detergent. Do not use soap, detergent, gasoline, or acetone which can leave a strong odor.
• Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft cloth.

During this operation, avoid the excess water, in order to prevent its entrance into the thermal insulation of the appliance, which would cause unpleasant odors.
Do not forget to clean also the door gasket especially the bellow ribs, by means of a clean cloth.
Outside cleaning

• Clean the outside of the freezer by means of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe with a soft cloth and dry.
• The cleaning of the outside part of the refrigerating circuit (motor compressor, condenser, connection tubes) will be done with a soft brush or with a vacuum cleaner. During this operation, please take care not to distort the tubes or detach the cables. Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!
• After having finished the cleaning, replace the accessories at their places and plug in the appliance.
