Instruction for use
Directions for use
In the following, you will find all the important
information for the use of your appliance.
The instructions for use apply to several models, which
is why details of the information may differ according to
the type of the appliance.
1 Installation (Choice of position for installation)
Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct
sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a
cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate
vicinity of a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly
inappropriate (increased compressor performance
would be necessary and, as a result, power
consumption would be considerably higher).
If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided,
a suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the
appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or
the following minimum distances must be observed:
from gas or electric cooker
from radiator or oven
from a wall, piece of furniture or
another appliance
3 cm
5 cm
2 cm
Never obstruct the ventilation grille
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation
grille (F) located below on one side. These appliances
can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of
furniture but not with the side protected with the
ventilation grille.
Freezers without ventilation grille
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the
appliance and the wall to ensure that outward flow of
warm air is able to escape.
Omit any mechanical influence on the cooling system,
especially on the following accessible parts in the
compressor chamber
Rear wall condenser or skin condenser (R)
Compressor (P)
Capillary tube (Q)
Drying filter (N)
(L)
:
(motor)
Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out
by professional and authorised personnel only.
IMPORTANT!
Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes.
In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash
your eyes instantly under plenty of running water and
call/consult an eye specialist immediately.
2 Rating plate
The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the
housing (D) at the rear of the appliance.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so
that it is at any time readily available, without having to
move the appliance
Model/Type …………….…………………………
Net capacity ………………….……………litres
Operating voltage ………………….……...…...V-50Hz
Maximum absorbed power(W)..……………….Watt
Safety (A) ……………….....………………......Amp
Power consumption………………………….....kWh/24h
Freezing capacity…………………………….....kg/24h
3 Connection to power supply
The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a
levelled base. Only this way can an impeded circuit of
the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for
at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the
refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating
problems occur.
The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy
to remove.
Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a
mixture of
lukewarm water and vinegar
.
Do not use washing liquids, sharp or granular
cleaning implements, or any cleaning products
containing soda.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the
inner area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry.
Danger warning
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily
inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically
sealed and the
density
has been subject to repeated
tests.
An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.
Your appliance must be connected to a power socked
with grounded connection, which is conform to the
respective standards and has been installed by an
authorised specialist.
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the
power socket, make absolutely sure that
the voltage (V) on the appliance’s data-plate
corresponds with that of your mains.
If the voltage differs, notify the after-sales-service or
your dealer immediately, and do not on any account
connect the appliance to the mains.
4 temperature selection
(Thermostat) (FIG.4)
To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the
control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the
setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver.
To switch on:
Turn the control to the right
adjust temperature to the level you require, between:
Min.
-
-
(slight cooling) and
max
. (lowest temperature)

English
Instruction for use
Temperature settings must be according to:
-
ambient temperature of the appliance
-
quantity of stored foodstuff
-
frequency of opening
We recommend a medium setting.
You will soon learn which is the most suitable setting for
your requirements.
5 Indicator-lights
(FIG.4)
If your appliance is equipped with indicator-lights, the
following guide explains what is meant by each light up:
green =
-
CONTROL
The appliance is under current
operating
and
The
green
control light
must always be on
when the
appliance is connected to the mains and switched on. It
is very important to pay attention to this, because in the
event of a power failure, the red and yellow lights stop
operating and do no longer provide a warning.
- red =
-
ALARM
Interior temperature too high
If the red indicator-light goes on, there may be several
reasons for this, namely:
First start-up of appliance
Restart after defrosting
Filling freezer with fresh food
In these cases it is normal that the red indicator-light
goes on. It goes off automatically when the interior
temperature reaches approximately –15°C.
Switch on the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (if equipped
with)
(FIG.4)
(switch off again not more than 24 hours
.
later or when the red light has gone off).
Reopen the appliance, if possible, only after the red
light has gone off.
If the red control light nevertheless stays on after 12 to
24 hours, there may be serious problems.
7 Start-up
1. Fully unpack the appliance.
2. Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor
chamber (if supplied).
3. Remove documents and any accessories from the
inside of the appliance.
4. Clean the interior with a mixture of lukewarm water
and vinegar, and dry thoroughly with a cloth.
5. Close the appliance.
6. Insert the plug in the socket
7. Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature
control
(FIG.4)
to the right (For the time being, turn
the controller fully to the right to Max position).
(green and red lights go on).
8. If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH, turn
it on
yellow light goes on too).
(
9. Do not open the appliance any more for about 4
hours respectively as long as the red light is on, to
allow the temperature in the inner compartment to
drop to the necessary level.
10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of
deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods).
(Consult the following chapter “Maximum stacking
height”).
11. Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH again after
24 hours at the latest.
12. If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to
the following chapter “
Freezing/storage of fresh
food”.
Important!
Do not store any bottles containing liquids. Liquid
expands when frozen and the bottle can explode. Never
keep containers with explosive substances (gas
lighters, petrol, ether and the like) in the freezer
compartment of the appliance.
When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the
manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.
Deep frozen ice-cream and ice lollies must be eaten
only a few minutes after being taken from the appliance
to avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin
detachment). For the same reason, avoid touching
the inner walls with wet hands. We advise you to use
defrosted or slightly frozen products within short time.
As a rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.
Consult the Troubleshooting guide “ what is when...”
chapter at the end of this operating manual.
yellow =
-
SUPER FREEZE SWITCH is on and the
thermostat function is disabled.
The compressor continues cooling until the SUPER
FREEZE switch is turned off again.
6 Warning Buzzer (Acoustic alarm)
If your appliance is supplied with a buzzer, it will sound
when the red indicator-light goes on. The buzzer is
silenced automatically when you turn on the SUPER
FREEZER SWITCH.
8 Freezing / storage of fresh food
Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and
storage in the appliance.
For the most common of these products, we provide a
table with instructions on acceptable storage times and
the most suitable packing material (see
“storage table”
at the back of this user manual).
Label
the fresh products clearly as they are not easy to
identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags.
We advise you to use commercially available labels for
frozen foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your
household to prevent defrosting of quantities that are
too large for consumption in one day in your household.
