SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ARNINGS AND GUIDELINES

warnings are provided to improve safety, and should read carefully before installing or using your freezer.

IMPORTANT

It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings.

This freezer is only intended for the freezing and storage of food.

This freezer should only be operated by adults. Children must not be allowed to tamper with the control buttons or play with the freezer.

Changes in the electrical mains system in connection with the installation of this freezer should always be carried out by an authorised electrician or competent person.

Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the freezer yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained people may result in personal injury or serious malfunction of the freezer.

Service of the freezer should be carried out by an authorised service company, and only original spare parts should be used. See under “Guarantee Conditions and Service”.

It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or to change the freezer in any other way.

Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the mains cable.

Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted.

Observe the recommendations for storage carefully. See under “Helpful Hints”.

This freezer includes components that are heated during operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation must always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See under “Installation”.

The inside of the freezer contains pipes through which coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the freezer may be damaged beyond repair, and food may be lost. Do not use sharp implements to remove frost or ice. Frost can be removed using the enclosed scraper. Do not knock ice off the sides of the freezer, but remove it by defrosting the freezer. See under “Maintenance”.

Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are particularly prone to explosion, which may damage the freezer.

This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.

If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering by children, the key must always be kept safely out of the reach of children, and far away from the freezer.

Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent accidents and avoid the danger of children getting locked inside.

Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the freezer.

IN THE INTERESTS OF THE

ENVIRONMENT:

When disposing of your old fridge, freezer or fridge/freezer:

Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Officer to see if there are facilities in your area for collecting the gas from the appliance for recycling. This will help reduce the amount of CFC gas released into the atmosphere.

Help to keep your country tidy - when disposing of an old appliance or a CFC free appliance use an authorised disposal site.

INSTALLATION

POSITION

Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface.

The room should be dry and adequately ventilated.

If the room temperature exceeds 32°C, or falls below freezing point, the freezer will not function as it should.

Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat, radiators, chimneys, etc., and do not place the freezer in direct sunlight.

If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on.

Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown.

SWITCHING ON

Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside. See under “Maintenance”.

Set the thermostat button in middle position. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located inside the lid.

WARNING:

This appliance must be earthed.

HOW TO USE

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Adjust the temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the groove. Turning the thermostat button towards „MAX” makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards „MIN” makes the temperature warmer. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C.

OPENING/CLOSING THE LID

The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed.

When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands.

As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately.

This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. This is quite normal.

Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently.

CONTROL PANEL

The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is connected.

The yellow light is illuminated when the “Super” button is depressed. See under “Freezing”.

The red light is illuminated when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting (alarm).

The red alarm light can be due to:

Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

Opening the lid too long. The red alarm light will go out after a while.

A defect in the system. See under “If something does not work”.

FREEZING

It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.

If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:

Press the square “Super” button (yellow light comes on). The freezer will now run continuously, creating a

sufficient reserve of the temperature required.

Press the “Super” button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much

food is to be frozen.

Place the food in the freezer and leave the “Super” button on for about 24 hours more.

Then press the “Super” button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. If you forget to press the “Super” button again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at the “Super” setting for some time - but energy will be wasted.
