General safety precautions

This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken when moving it.

Keep these instructions. They should remain with the appliance when moving away or changing owner.

This appliance is designed for storing and freezing food, domestic use according to these instructions only.

Only specialised companies that are qualified to do so by the manufacturer must carry out service and repairs including repairing and changing the power cord. Accessory parts supplied by them should be used

only for repairing. Alterations or changes are not permitted for reasons of safety.

The appliance is out of circuit only in that case if the plug is removed from the socket. Before cleaning and maintenance always switch off and unplug the appliance (do not get it by the cable). If the socket is difficult to reach, switch off the appliance by cutting off the current.

Power cord must not be lengthened.

Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.

- A damaged power plug may overheat and cause a fire.

Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer itself on the power cord.

- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.

Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is being pulled out of its niche.

- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire and/or electric shock.

- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a certified service agent or qualified service personnel.

If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert the power plug.

- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.

When cleaning, defrosting, taking out frozen food or ice tray do not use sharp, pointed or hard devices, as they can cause damage to the appliance.

Ice and ice-cream can cause hurt if they are eaten immediately after removal from the frozen food compartment.

After defrosting frozen food it must not be refrozen, it must be consumed up as soon as possible.

Store pre-packed frozen food in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions.

You must not make defrosting faster with any electric heating appliance or chemicals.

Warning: if you place frozen foods on top of the product, the interaction of cold and vapor may produce water condensate in the space below the top.

If such water condensate drips on the electric components placed in that space, a short-circuit may occur and damage the product. Therefore it is forbidden to place frozen foods on top of the product.

Do not store flammable gas and liquid in the appliance because they may explode.

Do not put carbonated drinks, bottled drinks and bottled fruits into the freezer.

Precautions for child safety

Do not allow children to play with the packaging of the appliance. Plastic foil can cause suffocation.

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults. Children should not be allowed to tamper with the controls or play with the product.

When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside.

Safety precautions for installation

Place the appliance against the wall to avoid touching or catching warm parts (compressor, condenser) to prevent possible burn.

When moving the appliance take care to remove the plug in the socket.

When placing the appliance take care not to stand it on the power cord.

Adequate air circulation should be around the appliance as lack of this will lead to overheating. To achieve sufficient ventilation follow the instructions relevant to installation.

Safety precautions for isobutane

Warning

The refrigerant of the appliance is isobutane (R600a) that is inflammable and explosive to a greater extent.

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

The packing consists of reusable materials only.

Switches and indicators

( A ) On/off indicator (green) ( B ) On/off switch ( C ) Thermostat button (for higher temperatures) ( D ) Temperature display ( E ) Thermostat button (for lower temperatures) ( F ) Alarm indicator (red) ( G ) ACOUSTIC alarm OFF switch (see "Control and

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.

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 2-3 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.
