Safety

The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards
and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint
you with the following safety guidelines:

Use for Intended Purpose

The freezer is intended for household use. It is suitable for freezing and storage of
frozen food. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through
improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.

Alterations or changes to the freezer are not permitted for reasons of safety.

If you use the freezer in a commercial application or for purposes other than the
freezing or frozen storage of foods, please observe al! valid legal regulations for
your application.

Prior to initial start-up

check the refrigerator/freezer for transport damage. Do not under any
circumstances connect a damaged appliance! Please contact your supplier in the
event of damage.

Refrigerant

The refrigerant isobutane (R600a) is contained within the refrigerant circuit of the
appliance, a natural gas with a high level of environmental compatibility, which is
nevertheless flammable.

During transportation and installation of the appliance, be certain that none of
the components of the refrigerant circuit become damaged.

If the refrigerant circuit should become damaged:

- avoid open flames and sources of ignition;
– thoroughly ventilate the room in which the appliance is situated.

Safety for Children

Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Danger
of suffocation! Keep packaging materials away from children!

For appliances with lockable lids: Children playing could get locked in. Danger of
suffocation! Keep the key out of the reach of children and do not leave it near the
appliance.

Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from
mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This
eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance
(danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering
situations.

Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances.
Please provide for the necessary supervision and do not allow children to play with
the appliance!

Daily Operation

Containers with flammable gases or fluids can develop leaks through contact with

25

the cold. Danger of explosion! Do not store containers with flammable substances,
such as aerosol cans, refill cartridges for cigarette lighters etc. in the
refrigerator/freezer.

Bottles and cans may not be placed in the freezer compartment. They can burst
when the contents freeze - or even explode if the contents contain carbonic acid!
Never place sodas, juices, beer, wine, champagne etc. into the freezer
compartment. Exception: Spirits with high alcohol content may be stored in the
freezer compartment.

Do not place ice cream or ice cubes directly from the freezer compartment into
the mouth. Very cold ice can freeze to the lips or tongue and cause injury.

Never touch frozen goods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods.
Do not operate any electrical appliances in the refrigerator/freezer (e.g. electric ice

cream makers, mixers etc.).
Before cleaning the appliance always pull the mains plug out or switch

off/disengage the household fuse.
When unplugging always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the

cable.

In case of malfunction

If a malfunction should occur at the appliance, refer first to the section “What to
do if...” in these operating instruction. If the instructions in this section are not
sufficient, do not undertake any further work on your own.

Refrigerators/freezers may only be repaired by trained personnel. Repairs carried
out by untrained personnel can lead to substantial danger. Please contact your
dealer or our customer service department for repairs.

For the electrician: Before carrying out any work on the freezer always pull out the
mains plug or switch off/disengage the household fuse.

Disposal

Appliance Packaging Information

All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned
at an incinerating plant without danger!
About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as
follows:
>PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the
interior.
>PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g. the pads, which are all free of
chlorofluorocarbon.
The carton parts are made from recycled paper and should be disposed
of at a waste-paper recycling collection location.

26

Disposal of old Appliances

For environmental reasons, refrigeration appliances must be disposed of
properly. This applies to your old appliance, and - at the end of its service life

- for your new appliance as well.
Warning! Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove

plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch
closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into
the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life­endangering situations.

Disposal:

The appliance may not be disposed of with domestic waste or bulky refuse.
The refrigerating circuit may not be damaged.
Information concerning collection schedules or locations can be obtained
from the local disposal authorities or town hall.

Installation

Installation Location

The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. The basement is an
optimal place for chest freezers.

Warning! The appliance may not be exposed to spray or splash water.
Danger of electrical shock!
Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature. The appliance should therefore
– not be exposed to direct sunlight;
– not be installed next to radiators, cookers or other sources of heat;

- only be installed at a location whose ambient temperature corresponds
to the climate classification, for which the appliance is designed.
The climate classification is stipulated on the serial plate which can be
found on the inner side of the lid. The following table shows which
ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:
Climate classification for an ambient temperature of

Climatic classification Ambient temperature

From….to

SN +10 to +32 °C

N +16 to +32 °C

ST +18 to +38 °C

T +18 to +43 °C

27

The refrigerator or freezer needs air.

The side walls become warm whilst the appliance is on. The heat is generated by
the special refrigerating system (shell condenser) and prevents condensate and
thus rust from forming on the side walls. In order for the heat to be able to be
dissipated, air must be able to circulate around all the side walls.

Attention! To function correctly the appliance requires good ventilation. Make
sure that the side walls and the base of the appliance are not covered or
obstructed.

Appliance Alignment

The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for
uneven floors with appropriate supports.

Electrical Connection

Warning – this appliance must be earthed

Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate agree
with the voltage of your electricity supply.

220/240 volts (i. e. 220/240V AC).
If your appliance has been equipped with a mains lead with a moulded on type

plug, you must comply with the following regulations:
The plug moulded on to the cord incorporates a fuse. For replacement, use a 13

amp BS 1362 fuse. Only ASTA approved or certified fuses should be used. The fuse
cover/carrier must be replaced in the event of changing the fuse. The plug must
not be used if the fuse cover/carrier ist lost. A replacement cover/carrier must be
obtained from an electrical goods retailer. If the socket outlets in your home are
not suitable for the plug fitted to the appliance, then the plug must be cut off and
an appropriate one fitted. When fitting the plug please note the following points:

Important

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings indentifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows:

1. The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the earth

terminal in your plug, which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured green, or green and yellow.

2. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the live terminal which

is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

28

3. The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the neutral terminal

which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. When wiring the plug,
ensure that all strand of wire are securely retained in each terminal.

Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp on the plug.
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock)

hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely.
Voltage 220/240V AC
Fuse rating 13 amps

In the interests of the environment:

The symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product
may not be treated as household waste. Instead it shall be handed over to the
applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic
equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help
prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human
health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of
this product. For more detailed information about recycling of this product,
please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or
the shop where you purchased the product.

The no-frost (frost free) system

The no frost (frost free) system enables both the freezing of fresh foodstuff as
well as storage of readily frozen foodstuff by cold air. An evaporator cools the
air in the interior space of the appliances, which is circulated and uniformly
distributed by a fan. This uniformly circulating air flow creates a dry climate, low
temperaturefluctuations and low temperature differences in the entire
appliance interior. The moisture in the air condenses as frost on the evaporator.
The evaporator thaws/defrosts automatically, as soon as this is necessary. The
melted water is drained off outside to the compressor and evaporates throught
the heat generated by the latter. Thus, the interior of the appliances and the
stored cooled or frozen foodstuffs always remain fresh and ice-free. Manual
thawing/defrosting is not necessary.

Press the button to stop the acoustic alarm signal. The red alarm lamp
continues to flash until the freezer reaches the proper temperature.

The acoustic alarm signal fails to sound on putting the equipment into
service until the temperature necessary for safe food storage is maintained.

after loading fresh food in a quantity exceeding the freezing capacity (see
"Freezing")

if the lid remains open for long time. If there is a malfunction and the
internol temperature cannot be maintained.and the red alarm indicator fails
to light up:

- if the power supply to the equipment fails

- in the case that the electronic

- temperature controller has failed.

Prior to putting into service

Clean the inside of equipment and all the appliances prior to putting into service the
first time (see chapter: "Maintenance")

31

Adjusting the temperature setting

Use a coin to turn the temperature control knob. This is to render it more difficult
to change the setting inadvertently (protection against children`being able to
tamper with the equipment).

Position "Off" means that the equipment is switched off.
Position "1" means that the inside temperature is at it's highest .
Position "4" means that the inside temperature is at it's lowest .
Recommended setting: "2" or "3".

Use a coin and turn the temperature control knob to position "2" or "3".
The factors influencing the inside temperature are as follows:

- ambient temperature

- quantity of food to be conserved

- frequency and duration of opening the cover

Switching the freezer off

To put the freezer out of service, turn the temperature control knob
counterclockwise to"off" position. The green signal lamp is extinguished.
Putting the freezer out of service for prolonged time.

To put the freezer out of service, turn the temperature control knob
counterclockwise to"off" position. The green signal lamp is extinguished. Then,
disconnect the plug connector from the mains receptacle.

Disconnect the plug from mains or disconnect or remove the fuse.
Clean thoroughly (see section Maintenance and Cleaning").
Leave the lid open to prevent any smell from being formed.

Conservation of frozen products

Attention!

Prior to loading the freezer the first time with food already frozen, the
emperature of -18 °C necessary for safe storage should be obtained.

- Store only frozen foods that are wrapped in order to prevent them

becoming dry, loosing their flavour or interacting with the flavour of
other frozen foods.

- Observe the period storage recommended on pre-packed frozen food.

- Store ice creams and high fat content foods in the lower part of freezer

(near the bottom)

32

1 Fill the ice cube maker until

the cubes will be full in the
horizontal position or by the
load line mark in the vertical
position. After this close the
ice cube maker with cap.

2. Place it in the freezer and

leave to solidify holder in the
lid of the.

3. To loosen the frozen cubes,

either bend the ice cube tray or hold it under running water for a few seconds.
Important! Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer

compartment using pointed or sharp edged objects. Use a soft plastic scraper.

Replacement of electric bulbs

Warning! Risk of electric shock! Prior to replacement of electric bulbs,

remove the plug from the mains socket or disconnect or unscrew the fuse or
lodgement.

1 Turn the temperature control

knob counterclockwise to"off"
position.

2. Remove mains plug

3. For replacement of the bulb

press the cover hook and
remove as shown in the
illustration

4. Replace defective light bulb.

5. Place the cover again.

Lamp specification: 220 to 240 V, max 15W bulb holder: E14

Packaging and positioning

Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room
temperature)

Food must be packed in airtight and moisture -proof
packaging to prevent it from drying out.

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

Never fill the freezer to more than loading line (arrow with dashed line)
shown on the illustration.

See under "Helpful hints".

For the removal of the lampshade you have to
push the hook by a screwdriver first, and than you can
turn it out

Capacity

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). Do
not exceed the amount stated - if you do, the freezing capacity time will be
extended. The data plate is located on the back of the cabinet.

Important! The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the full
occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh food. However, if the freezer is
filled with large amounts of food for freezing every day, the capacity stated
is reduced by about one-third.

Basket

The basket is designed for fast
freezing and protection for part
of the lid (Air inlet). The handles
can be placed in one position as
shown in the drawings.

Important: Do not leave a space
between the right side of the
basket and Cold module.

The baskets are designed for the
storage of food which has
already been frozen. The
handles can be placed in two
positions, as shown in the
drawings.

The baskets can either be placed
inside the freezer or hung on the edge of the casing.

The role of the pressure
equalisation valve

The pressure equalisation valve
installed in your freezer
automatically eliminates the
pressure difference which
otherwise would make it very difficult or even impossible to open the lid.

It may be possible to hear the operation of the valve as the air flows in
through the airing outlet in the rear wall of the cabinet.

For a safe operation, keep the two openings of the valve clear, do not cover
them!

Do not keep distance
between basket and
cold modul

34

Helpful hints

Normal operating sounds

You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is
pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator.

When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round and you
will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.

A thermostat controls the compressor and you will hear a faint click when
the thermostat cuts in and out.

If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start

immediately when the current is re-connected. This is quite normal.

Storage

Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept
below the load line. Never exceed the maximum storage time for purchased
frozen food. When you buy a 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.
Never place bottles, warm objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer.

Important! Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to
circulate around each them.

Freezing

Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot dishes to room temperature
as quickly as possible before placing them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully
in freezer foil, or use the special freezer boxes or bags which are on the
market. Divide food into small portions before freezing- this ensure that the
freezing is more rapid, and means that you only need to defrost the amount
needed for immediate consumption.

Remember that defrosted food must not be re-frozen. However, cooked dishes
which have been made using defrosted food may be frozen. Mark the freezer
packaging with the date of freezing. We recommend keeping a record of the
contents of your freezer. If freezing is too slow, the quality of the food being frozen
deteriorates. Consequently, do not freeze larger amounts than is stated on the
freezer's data plate. If you wish to freeze several days in a row the maximum
freezing capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third. As far as possible,
keep the lid closed during freezing. If you inexperienced with home freezing, we
recommend that you purchase a book containing advice and guidlines.

35

Maintenance

Cleaning

Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECRICITY supply.

Use a damp cloth to clean
your freezer. Use hot water,
and a mild, non-aromatic
cleaning agent.

Remove the vented floor, as
shown on the illustration,
and then clean, after the
cleaning replace the vented
floor again.

After cleaning the freezer,
clean the basket, ice cube
maker, before replacing
them.

Important! Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring powder or strongly
aromatic cleaning agents to clean your freezer inside, since this will damage
the inside and leave a strong smell.

External cleaning

Wash the outer cabinet with warm water to which a little mild washing-up
liquid has been added. Do NOT use abrasive products.

For the removal of vented floor (with grid)
you have to pull out the grid and then you can turn it out.

36

If something does not work

Check the following before making a request for service:

If you are still unable to solve the problem, contact your local Service Force
Centre Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Incorrect procedure
may cause personal injury or lead to additional defects.

If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start
immediately when the current is re-connected. This is quite normal.

If it is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the outside occasionally,
owing to the heat generated by the freezing process. This heat also helps to
keep the appliance free

In case os a power failure or breakdown

Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the
temperature rise there will be no risk of damage to the frozen food, providing
you do not open the lid during this period

If the freezer is only half full or the lidid opened this will reduce the
temperature rise time.

The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Like all fluids, refrigerants
require warmth in order to be evaporated. Like all fluids, refrigerants require
warmth in order to be evaporated. This is why the evaporator is located inside
the freezer or directly behind the interior walls and as a result is not visible.

Compressor

The compressor looks like a small bin. It is powered by a built-in electric
motor. It is the task of the compressor to withdraw vaporous refrigerant
from the evaporator, to compress it and feed it to the condenser.

Condenser

The refrigerant which has been compressed by the compressor, is liquefied
in the condenser. Thus warmth is released, which is given off into the
surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The condenser is therefore
attached to the outside of the appliance or directly behind the exterior
sides and is thus not visible.
