Safety Information

Before installing and using the appliance
read this user's instruction book carefully.
It contains safety precautions, hints,
information and ideas. If the freezer is
used in compliance with the instructions
written, it will operate properly and
provide you with greatest satisfaction.

These warnings are provided in the
interest of safety. You must read them
carefully before installing or using the
appliance.

Use the freezer only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making
ice cubes.

Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of
the freezer, since they may cause frost
burns.

Do not allow children to play or hide
inside the freezer, since they may
become trapped inside and suffocate.

Do not store glass containers with
liguids in the freezer, since they may
burst.

Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.

Before servicing or cleaning, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect
the power supply.

Do not use other electrical appliances
(such as ice cream makers) inside the
appliance.

Your appliance contains an
environmentally friendly natural gas,
isobuthane (R600a). Caution is
required however, since isobuthane is
flammable. Therefore it is essential to
ensure that the refrigerant pipelines
are not damaged.

It is most important that this instruction
book should be retained with the
appliance for future reference.

The room temperature should
correspond to the climatic
classification for which the freezer was
designed, see chapter "Technical
data".

Place the freezer horizontally on a firm
surface, resting on all four feet.

For optimum operation and in order to
avoid damage when the lid is opened,
leave a space of at least 5 cm from the
rear wall and 5 cm at the sides.

Before connecting the freezer to the
power supply, ensure that the voltage
corresponds to that indicated in
chapter "Technical data" under
"Voltage".

Danger!

Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.

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

The power supply cable may only be
replaced by a qualified service
personel.

Ensure that the power plug is not
squashed or damaged by the back of

around the appliance.

Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out by
a qualified electrician.

Helpful hints and tips

Freezing food

Before freezing, fresh food must be
packed in airtight and moisture­proof packaging to prevent it from
drying out.

Only use fresh food of the best
quality.

Always leave hot food to cool to
room termperature before placing in
the freezer.

Divide food into small portions
before freezing; this ensures that
freezing is more rapid, and that you
only need to defrost the amount
needed for immediate consumption.

Mark the freezer packaging with the
date of freezing.

Place fresh food for freezing close
to the cold sides of the freezer,
making sure that it is not in contact
with the frozen food already in the
freezer.

Frozen food can be stored
anywhere inside the freezer, but
should be kept at least 5 mm below
the upper edge.

Never fill the freezer further than the
loading line shown on the illustration.

If freezing is too slow, the quality of the
food being frozen deteriorates. The
amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)
that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated in the chapter "Technical
data" under "Freezing capacity".

Food storage

For fresh frozen food, please refer
to the storage period table
underneath.

For purchased frozen food, never
exceed the expiry date.

When you buy frozen food, make

sure that it has been stored at the
correct temperature. Do not buy
products which have wet or damaged
packaging. Place purchased products
in your freezer as quickly as possible.
We recommend using an insulated
bag to bring such products home with
you.

Important! Remember that fully or
partially defrosted food must not be re­frozen. However, dishes which have
been cooked using defrosted food may
be frozen.

In the case of a power failure or
breakdown

Do not open the lid.

Important! If the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in the
chapter "Technical data" under "Hold­over time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
