-
The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
-
The plug must be accessible after installation.
-
Your freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the odour will fade when your freezer starts to cool.
-
Before connecting your freezer, ensure that the information on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches that of the mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
-
Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we recommend you consult a qualified electrician for assistance.
-
The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point must match with the details on the name plate of the appliance (the name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
-
We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due to ungrounded usage.
-
Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
-
Your freezer must never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
-
Your appliance must be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical ovens.
-
If your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there must be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on the outer surface.
-
Do not cover the body or top of freezer with lace. This will affect the performance of your freezer.
-
Clearance of at least 150 mm is required at the top of your appliance. Do not place anything on top of your appliance.
-
Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
-
Clean the appliance thoroughly before use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
-
Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the freezer after cleaning.
-
Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them in either direction. This must be done before placing food in the appliance.
-
Install the two plastic distance guides (the parts on the black vanes -condenser- at the rear) by turning it 90° (as shown in the figure) to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.
-
The distance between the appliance and back wall must be a maximum of 75 mm.
Before using your freezer
- When using your freezer for the first time, or after transportation, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
- Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating
principle. In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to
opening the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the
freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment,
you are periodically required to turn off the freezer, place the food that
needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove the ice
gathered in the freezer compartment. The situation is completely different in
no-frost freezers. Dry and cold air is blown into the freezer compartment
homogeneously and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air
dispersed homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food
equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing. Therefore your
no-frost freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its huge capacity and
stylish appearance.

freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may
continue using the appliance as usual.
Accessories
Making Ice Cubes (In some models)
- Pull the lever towards you and remove the ice maker tray
- Fill with water to the level of line
- Hold the left end of the lever and set the ice-tray on the icebox
- When ice cubes are formed, twist the lever to drop ice cubes into the ice box.
Do not fill the icebox with water in order to make ice. It can break.
Ice tray (In some models)
- Fill the ice tray with water and place in freezer compartment.
- After the water completely turned into ice, you can twist the tray as shown below to get the ice cube.
PLACING THE FOOD
- The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food, for storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes..
- Do not put fresh and warm food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
- While freezing fresh foods (i.e. meat, fish and mincemeat) divide them in portions you will use in a single serving.
- For storing frozen foods, the instructions shown on frozen food packages should always be followed carefully. If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
- Maximum load: if you want to store large quantities of food and use the maximum net capacity of the freezer, you can remove all the sliding drawers but you should keep the upper shelf flaps. Thanks to this, it ispossible to store bulky items directly on the shelves.
- When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
- Frozen food should be transported in appropriatecontainers to maintain the quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit in the shortest possible time.
- If a package of frozen food shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated..
- The storage life of frozen foods depends on the room temperature, thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer:
- While freezing fresh foods, the maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label. (your refrigerator has the capacity to freeze 25 kg at 25°C ambient)
- For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity, activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.
- After placing fresh food into the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufficient for freezing. “Super Freeze” mode will be deactivated automatically in 2-3days to save energy.
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
- Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate “Fast Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
- Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such as food poisoning.
- Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
- When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing is intact.
A+ models
If there is a power cut or malfunction, do not open the door. This will help
maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that foods are conserved
for about 15 hours at 25°C. Do not re-freeze food that is defrosting or that
has already been defrosted. These foods must be cooked and eaten.

| Failure” Warning| There is/are some part(s) out of order or there is a
failure in the cooling process. The product is plugged for the first time or a
long-time power interruption for 1 hour| Check the door is open or not and
check if the product working 1 hour. If the door is not open and the product
had worked 1 hour, call service for assistance as soon as possible.
If you are experiencing a problem with your freezer, please check the following before contacting the after-sales service.
Your freezer is not operating
Check if:
-
There is power
-
The plug is correctly placed in the socket
-
The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown
-
The socket is faulty. Examine this by plugging your freezer into a working socket.
What to do if your appliance performs poorly;
Check that; -
You have not overloaded the appliance,
-
The freezer temperature set to -16,
-
The doors are closed perfectly,
-
There is no dust on the condenser,
-
There is enough place at the rear and side walls.
Your freezer is operating noisily
Normal noises
Cracking (ice cracking) noise occurs:
- During automatic defrosting
- When the appliance is cooled or warmed (due to expansion of appliance material).
Short cracking noise occurs: When the thermostat switches the compressor
on/off.
Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. The
compressor may cause more noise for a short time when it is first activated.
Bubbling noise and splash occurs: Due to the flow of the refrigerant in
the tubes of the system.
Water flowing noise occurs: Due to water flowing to the evaporation
container. This noise is normal during defrosting.
Air blowing noise occurs: In No-Frost freezers during normal operation of
the system due to the circulation of air.
The edges of the freezer in contact with the door joint are warm
Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor, this is normal.
The door does not open or close properly
Check if:
- There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing
- The door joints are broken or torn
- Your freezer is on a level surface.
Important Notes:
- In the case of a power failure, or if the appliance is unplugged and plugged in again, the gas in the cooling system of your freezer will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your freezer will start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
- If the appliance will not be used for a long period of time (such as during holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the freezer, leaving the door open to prevent the formation of mildew and odour.
- If the problem persists after you have followed all the instructions above, please consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.
- This appliance is designed for domestic use and for the stated purposes only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. If the consumer uses the appliance in a way that does not comply with these instructions, we emphasise that the manufacturer and the dealer will not be responsible for any repair or failure within the guarantee period.
TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
- Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
- Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered,the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
- Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
- The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, if your gasket is detachable, replace the gasket. If not detachable, you have to replace the door.
