Setting the appliance up
Laying and connecting the power cable
Connect the appliance via the power cable with
a properly connected and earthed 230 V mains
power socket. Do not use extension cables or multiplug sockets. It must at all times be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply
by simply removing the plug from the mains power
socket. Route the power cable so that it does not
make contact with the compressor of the appliance.
This becomes hot during operation and could damage the insulation of the cable. Also ensure that
the cable does not come under the adjustable feet 6
or is in any way clamped and, because of this, could
be damaged.
Protect against moisture and heat
Place the appliance in a dry and well ventilated
room. The appliance is not suitable for operation
outdoors. Protect the appliance from direct sunlight
and do not place it near sources of heat such as
stoves or radiators, etc.
Note
While setting the appliance up, and also later should
you want to relocate it, do not slope it by more than
45 °.
Ventilation
In order not to impede the heat exchange, and to
ensure high cooling efficiency with low power consumption, a free space of 50 mm should remain
above the appliance. Should this not be possible,
then at least a space of 25 mm on each side of the
appliance.
Installation of the appliance
Ensure that the freezer is positioned horizontally on
a stable surface. It works properly only in this position.
Check that it is horizontal with a spirit level. To make
any corrections, you can screw the the adjustable
feet 6 in or out. All adjustable feet 6 must have solid
contact to the undersurface so that the appliance
stands firmly.
Attention!
To avoid the risk of fire, do not place electrical heaters
on the freezer. Also, do not place kettles or water
boilers on it, as overflowing boiling liquids could
damage the electrical insulation of the appliance.

Start-up
Before commissioning, remove all paper and plastic
packaging from the appliance. Check to ensure that
the appliance is not damaged and the door closes
properly. Clean the inside of the appliance (see
chapter "Cleaning and Care").
Switching on
Attention!
Wait at least 4 hours for the first start-up, so that the
coolant has re-amassed. If you do not, it would lead
to irreparable damage to the appliance!
Note
With the "super freeze function" you can in a short
time set the maximum cooling performance. In this
case it does not matter at what level the temperature
regulator 5 is set.
Place the switch “Super Freeze” 4 at the ON position if you want to cool the appliance down before
freezing fresh foods (see chapter "Freezing fresh
foods").
Always distribute the food to be frozen evenly in the
freezer compartments 8.
Later, do not forget to place the switch 4 back into
the OFF position.
1. Connect the appliance via the power cable with
a properly connected and earthed 230 V mains
power socket.
2. Bring the temperature controller 5 into the desired position. The further you turn the regulator
clockwise, the lower the temperature will be inside the appliance.
• MIN = relatively low cooling
• = normal setting
• MAX = lowest temperature, maximum cooling
• The appliance will take about four hours to reach the desired interior temperature. Please wait
this long until you start to fill the appliance with
frozen foods.
Note
The cooling temperature is influenced by, ...
• ... how high the ambient room temperature is,
• ... how much food is stored in the appliance,
• ... how you have set the appliance up.
Please take note of all of these factors when setting
the cooling temperature. Do not be afraid to experiment a little to find out which cooling temperature best
suits your needs.
Control lamps
• The operating control lamp (green) 3 glows
constantly when the appliance is connected to
the mains power supply. When you disconnect
the appliance from the power mains or there is a
power failure, then the lamp extinguishes.
• The temperature control lamp (red) 2 indicates
a temperature in the freezer compartment that is
too high. These may be the reasons for it:
- the appliance was just connected to the mains
power supply,
- a larger quantity of food is being stored in the
appliance than is admissible as given on the
typeplate,
- the appliance door has been left open for too
long,
- the temperature controller has just been turned
clockwise and the appliance has not yet
reached the desired temperature.
• The "Super Freeze" control lamp (yellow) 1 glows
when the "Super Freeze" switch is brought into
the ON position - the compressor then operates
continuously.

Storage times
This freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of
frozen foods. You can also freeze fresh foods in it and
then store them there. The following list is intended as
general information about how long you can store
frozen foods in the appliance. In every case you
should however pay heed to the storage instructions
printed on the packaging of already frozen foods.
• Meat and poultry - up to 12 months
• Prepared Meats - up to 2 months
• Fresh fish - up to 6 months
• Fruits and vegetables - up to 12 months
• Bread and Cake - up to 6 months
Note
Write down the date of freezing on the package
when you freeze fresh food yourself.
Attention!
Under no circumstances should you store liquids in
bottles or cans in the appliance, because, when it
freezes its volume also increases, which would lead
to the bursting of the container! Risk of Injury!
Freezing fresh foods
1. If you want to freeze fresh food yourself, activate
the "Super Freeze" feature around 24 hours beforehand, by moving the switch "Super Freeze" 4
into the ON position. The setting of the temperature controller 5 is for the moment unimportant,
as the "Super Freeze" function, regardless of the
setting of the temperature controller 5, always
provides the maximum cooling performance.
2. Firmly pack the fresh foods into aluminum foil,
plastic wrap or airtight and watertight plastic
bags. You can also use plastic containers with
lids or freezer boxes which are suitable for the
freezing of fresh foods.
Note
Pack the foods in the smallest possible portions.
Thus, the food freezes faster.
You can freeze a maximum of 10.5 kg at one time.
3. Distribute the food to be frozen evenly in the
freezer compartments 8.
Note
Ensure that the food being frozen does not come
into contact with the already frozen foods.
Otherwise they could defrost.
4. Deactivate the "Super Freeze" function after you
have put the food in the appliance: Place the
switch "Super Freeze" 4 at the OFF position
and turn the temperature controller to a central
position between "•" and "• MAX".
Note
Never freeze more than 10.5 kg at one time.
The foods will be completely frozen in 24 hours.
Frozen Foods
Please take note of the following when you buy
already frozen products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged.
Damaged packaging may have a negative impact
on the quality of frozen food. If the packaging
shows signs of swelling or moist spots, the foods
could have been frozen under adverse conditions
and/or is already thawed.
• When shopping, select your frozen foods as the
very last and transport them only in isolated cool
bags.
• Place your frozen foods into the appliance immediately after you arrive home.
• Should the foods already be thawed, do not
freeze them again, instead, consume them within
24 hours.
- 6 -
• Always comply with the information given on
the packaging about storage.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice cube mould to two thirds with water.
Place the ice cube mould level on the bottom of one
of the freezer compartments 8.
Operating noises
You may possibly hear a faint gurgle when the appliance pumps the coolant in the cooling system
through the coils and pipes on the back of the appliance.
When the compressor is working, you can hear a
slight rustling or pulsation.
The temperature controller controls the compressor
and you may hear a slight click when it is switched
on or off. All of this is completely normal and does
not indicate a malfunction of the appliance!
Saving energy
• The cooler the ambient air, the less energy the
appliance has to consume to deliver the desired
cooling capacity. Accordingly, never locate the
unit next to sources of heat such as radiators,
stoves or dishwashers. Provide for sufficient ventilation.
• Do not leave the door open for longer than necessary. If you do, warm air will flow into the interior, which will lead to increased ice formation
and cause an increase in energy consumption.
• Take care to ensure that no objects, or incompletely closed drawers, in the freezer compartments 8 or the storage compartments 7 impede the proper closing of the door.
Power failure
• If the power supply should suddenly fail, immediately disconnect the power cable from the mains
power socket. After 5 minutes you can re-connect
it, regardless of whether the power supply is
working again or not.
• Should a power cut be planned, and therefore
have a lead time, we recommend turning the
temperature regulator 5 to the position "max"
2 - 3 hours beforehand and to switch the "SuperFreeze" function on.
• During the power cut avoid any unnecessary
opening of the appliance door and place no
foods in for storage.
• If the power cut lasts for a long time, when the
power is switched back on check to see if melt
water has collected on the bottoms of the freezer
compartments 8 or on the bottoms of the storage
compartments 7. In this case, you must wipe the
water up with a soft, dry cloth so that the foods
do not freeze to these surfaces.
• Check the condition of the foods. Should they
be slighly or even fully thawed, they should be
removed from the appliance and consumed
promptly.
