Handling the appliance
Installation
Insert the plug into the socket. Press the on/off switch of the freezing
compartment. The green on/off indicator will light continuously and the current
temperature value will flash.
The flashing of the red alarm indicator and the acoustic alarm will warn you that
the internal temperature is not yet sufficient for the conservation of food. To
switch off the acoustic alarm and the temperature display flashing, press button
"G". Do not put any food in the freezer until the internal temperature reaches 18 C or the red alarm indicator goes out.
Adjusting the temperature
Temperature controls
Temperature can be regulated with the use of the "+" (higher) and "-" (lower)
buttons.
These buttons are interlinked with the temperature display.
Press either "+" or "-" to switch the temperature display from CURRENT
temperature (continuous lighting ) to DESIRED temperature (flashing).
If neither button is pressed again, the temperature display will shortly (within
approx. 5 seconds) return to CURRENT temperature.
DESIRED temperature:
It is the temperature to be achieved in the freezing compartment.
CURRENT temperature:
It is the actual temperature of the freezing compartment as shown on the
temperature display. The CURRENT temperature is shown by a continuous light.
8
Temperature display
The temperature display is able to show various information:
Under normal operating conditions it displays the actual temperature
(CURRENT temperature) of the freezer.
At the time of setting the temperature, the freshly set temperature (DESIRED
temperature) will flash.
QUICK FREEZE on/off switch
The quick freeze function ("FROSTMATIC") is used to achieve the quick freezing of
fresh food and to prevent the already frozen goods from undesirable warming up.
You can turn on the quick freeze function by pressing the quick freeze on/off
switch. The yellow indicator will light up.
You can manually turn off the quick freeze function any time by pressing the
quick freeze on/off switch again. The yellow indicator will go out. If not switched
off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically switched off 48
hours later. The yellow indicator will go out.
Temperature problem
Once the temperature of the freezing compartment rises above -12 C the red
alarm indicator will light up and an acoustic alarm will be heard.
Possible causes of such temperature rise:
door opened too frequently or left open too long
large volume of hot food stored in the freezing compartment
product defect
You can stop the acoustic alarm by pressing the "Acoustic alarm off switch". Once
the temperature of the freezing compartment reduces to a displayable value, the
red alarm indicator and the acoustic alarm will automatically stop.
Note:
The acoustic alarm will stop:
when the quick freeze function is switched on (by pressing the "Quick freeze
on/off switch")
Freezing
Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them always in the freezing
compartment.
The quick freeze function ("FROSTMATIC") is used to achieve the quick freezing of
fresh food and to prevent the already frozen goods from undesirable warming up.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze on/off switch (J) for 23 seconds; in the case of small and great food volumes you should do it approx.
4 and 24 hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh food.
The yellow indicator (H) will light up and the compressor will operate
continuously until the product reaches the freezing temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24 hours) you can manually

switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (J) for 2-3 seconds. If
not switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be automatically
switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (H) will also go out.
Storing
It is practical to replace frozen products into the storing compartments after
freezing has finished so that to make room in the freezing compartment for
another freezing.
In large quantities of food are to be stored, remove the baskets except the
lowermost one from appliance and place food on the shelves.
Intermediate freezing does not deteriorate foods already stored.
Some useful information and advice
After opening and closing the door of the freezer, vacuum will rise inside the
appliance because of the low temperature. So wait 2-3 minutes after closing
the door while inner pressure equalises.
Take care of operating the freezer at a position of thermostatic control so that
the inside temperature can never go beyond -18 °C, since temperature higher
than this can deteriorate frozen foods.
It is practical to make sure of faultless operation of the appliance daily so as
to notice possible failure in time and prevent deterioration of frozen foods.
After a power failure the product will restart and the quick freeze function will
be switched on.
Freezing and storage of frozen foods
As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the foods frozen this way
will preserve their original form, nutritional value and taste even after
thawing.
Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the product.
For the perfect operation of the product, make sure that the frozen foods will
not touch the ventilator cover or the ventilator mounted on the backside of
the product.
For the best results it is recommended to distribute the frozen foods evenly in
the boxes.
If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing process will take less time
and subsequent thawing will be possible in small portions also.
In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-creams immediately after
they have been taken out from the freezer.
It is recommended to state the freezing date on the package in order to check
the storage duration.
10
The time of transportation from the seller to the consumer must be as short
as possible.
Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance
to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about
the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off
heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not
cover the sections where the ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up
unnecessary frost.
Avoid products put in the freezer compartment touching foods already frozen.
Do not leave the door open longer than necessary and avoid unnecessary
openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
The condenser must be kept clean.
The appliance and environment
This appliance does not contain gasses which could damage the ozone layer, in
either its refrigerant circuit or insulation materials. The appliance shall not be
discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the
cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your
local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.
The materials used on this appliance marked with the sympol are recyclable.

Maintenance
Automatic defrosting
This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice in the freezer. Accordingly,
there is no need for manual defrosting. The product will automatically perform
any defrosting once it becomes necessary.
No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by
electric heating during the defrosting procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position.
The defrost water will drip in the tray placed at the compressor and will
evaporate. In the course of the defrosting procedure (approx. 30 minutes) the
evaporator becomes warm but it has no influence on the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid any moisture loss as a
result of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the operability of the product
may be compromised.
For such purpose it is recommended to put all foods in the drawers in the freezer
compartment.
Regular cleaning
Never use soap or abrasives for cleaning.
Once is it disconnected from the mains, wash the product with lukewarm water
and then wipe it dry.
Use clean water to clean the door sealing gasket.
After the cleaning operations, reconnect the product to the mains.
Once or twice a year it is recommended to remove the dust and dirt from the
condenser mounted on the back panel.
Long-term absence
If you do not use the product for longer periods, make sure to perform the
following:
Switch off the product by pressing the on/off switch until the on/off indicator
goes out.
Disconnect the product from the mains.
Remove all foods from the product.
Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as described above.
Leave the doors ajar to avoid the build-up of unpleasant odors.
