Important installation instructions

This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions (up to 43 degrees C or 110 degrees F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt. When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the appliance as usual.

Accessories
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.

Freezing fresh food

• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the bottom compartment.
• The maximum amount of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.
• The supper freezing process lasts 24 hours: during this period do not add other food to be frozen.

Storing frozen food
When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the product in the compartment let the appliance be set in super freezing mode.

IMPORTANT!
In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer than the value shown in the technical characteristics chart under (see :“Time of storage in case of the power interruption…), the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after cooked).

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 is possible 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 appropriate containers 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 2-3 days 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.
• 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 10 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.

Helpful hints and tips
To help you make the most of the supper freezing pro-cess, here are some important hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• The super freezing process that was set by software in appliance takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;
• Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
• Not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacture.

Recommended location of each type of food in different compartments of the freezer (if included in your appliance – and taking into account the actual number of drawers / shelves in the freezer):

• Foods for long-term storage
• Bottom drawer/shelf for raw meat, poultry, fish
• Middle drawer/shelf for frozen vegetables, chips
• Top drawer/shelf for ice cream, frozen fruit, frozen baked goods

Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the freezer compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer.

Cleaning
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.

CAUTION!
The appliance may not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Danger of electrical shock! Before cleaning switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could accumulate in electrical components, danger of electrical shock! Hot vapors can lead to the damage of plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.

IMPORTANT!
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice form orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid.

• Do not allow such substances to come into contact the appliance parts.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaners

• Remove the food from the freezer. Store them in a cool place, well covered.

• Switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains, or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker of fuse.

• Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water.
  After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry.

• Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. 1)

• After everything is dry place appliance back into service.

Defrosting of the freezer

• This appliance is equipped with NO FROST technology , so the frost cover is not appearing inside of the freezer.
• The appliance is maintenance free from this perspective. Any excess moisture from the freezer is removed automatically.

Information on No-Frost technology

No-frost freezers differ from other static fridges in their operating principle. In normal freezers, the humidity entering the fridge in the door openings and the humidity of the food causes freezing in the freezer compartment. To defrost the snow and ice in the freezer compartment, you should turn off the fridge, take the food that needs to be kept in a constant temperature off the fridge, and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment periodically. The situation is completely different in no-frost freezers. Dry and cold air is blowed to the freezer homogeneously from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously even between the shelves cools all your food equally and uniformly, thus prevents humidity and freezing. If the condenser is at back of appliance.

Replacing LED Lighting
Depending on the model, one LED strip in the freezer is used to illuminate the interior of your appliance. To replace any of the LEDs, please contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CAUTION!
Before troubleshooting, disconnect the power supply. Only a qualified electrician of competent person must do the troubleshooting that is not in this manual.

IMPORTANT!
There are some sounds during normal use (compressor, refrigerant circulation). These sounds are not a reason for complaint!

„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.

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 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.

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.

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

1. 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.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
