SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following:
- Read all instructions carefully. Keep this manual for future reference.
- Make sure all packaging materials and promotional stickers have been removed before using the appliance for the first time. Make sure children cannot play with the packaging materials.
- This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments;
- farmhouses;
- by clients in hotels, motels, and other residential-type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments.
- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
- This appliance can be used by children aged 16 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

- Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Despite the fact that R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is highly flammable. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance’s cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your freezer from open flames or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

- Remove air.
- Seal the wrapping.
- Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.
Suitable packaging
Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminum foil, and freezer
containers.
Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer
These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).
- When you freeze fresh foods with a ‘use by/best before/best by/’ date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date.
- Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.
- Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
- Remove all foods.
- Disconnect from the electrical outlet.
- Clean the freezer thoroughly, including defrost pan.
- Leave the door open to avoid possible formations of condensate, mold or odors.

DEF ROSTING THE FREEZER
A layer of frost in the freezer will impair refrigeration of the frozen food
and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of frost regularly. Do not
scrape off frost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage
the refrigerant tubes.
- Remove the frozen food and place it temporarily in a cool location.
- Disconnect the appliance from the main socket. Open the drainage opening, fix the water drain pipe and place a bucket under it to catch the melted water.
