Mechanical controls
In addition to a thermostat knob, the control
panel contains two control lamps and a button (g. 4). Control panel design and lamp
position may vary.
The green lamp is lit when power is correctly supplied.
The yellow lamp is lit when the Super
Freeze button has been pressed (see Super
Freeze).
Starting up
Connect the appliance to the socket outlet.
The green lamp lights up to indicate that
power is supplied. The red lamp on the control panel will also light up to indicate that
the temperature inside the freezer is not yet
sufciently low.
Temperature setting
The temperature is set by turning the
thermostat knob from MIN to MAX. It is
recommended that a coin be used to turn
the knob. The more the thermostat knob is
turned towards MAX, the lower the temperature. To test whether the setting is correct,
measure the temperature of the uppermost
item in the centre of the freezer.
It must be no warmer than –18 °C.

g. 4
Super Freeze
If more than 3 kg of fresh items are to be
frozen, proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button (the
yellow lamp lights up). The freezer then
operates at maximum capacity (the compressor runs continuously).
2. Activate Super Freeze 24 hours before
placing fresh items in the freezer.
3. After placing fresh items in the freezer,
leave Super Freeze on for a further 24
hours.
4. Then press the Super Freeze button
again (the yellow lamp goes off).

GB
Use
Freezer
The appliance is a four-star freezer approved for freezing and storing frozen items
of food.
Freezing
To keep food at its best, items must be
frozen to –18 °C as quickly as possible.
The freezing capacity of the freezer is
stated on the nameplate in kg/24 hours (see
page 12).
Activating the Super Freeze function reduces freezer temperature to –25 °C. If items
weighing 3 kg or more are to be frozen, the
Super Freeze button should be activated
about 24 hours in advance.
To freeze smaller quantities, it is sufcient
to activate Super Freeze just a couple of
hours in advance, or even at the same time
as items are placed in the freezer.
There is no need to use Super Freeze when
pre-frozen items are placed in the freezer or
when small, single items are involved.
Only freeze high-quality fresh products.
Meat, poultry, sh, vegetables, fruit, dairy
products and ready-made meals are suitable for freezing. Items with a high water
content, e.g. lettuce, radishes, grapes, apples, pears and cucumbers, are not suitable
for freezing.
Pack items to be frozen in airtight containers, freezer bags or similar. Freeze items in
suitable portions. Do not freeze vegetables
or meat in portions larger than 2.5 kg. Keep
packages dry to prevent them from freezing
together. To ensure rapid freezing, make
sure, as far as possible, that items placed
in the freezer are not touching each other.
Ensure that there is as little air in the pack-
ages as possible to prevent the surfaces of
the items from drying out.
Items to be frozen should be placed in the
freezing compartment or evenly distributed
along the inner walls of the freezer.
Always remember to write the date, content
and quantity on the packages before placing them in the freezer. It is a good idea
to group items within the freezer. Keep
vegetables in one place, meat in another,
and so on.
There must be at least 5 mm clearance
between the lid and items stored in the
freezer.
Items stored in the baskets are highly visible and easily accessible (g. 5).
g. 5
Thawing
Frozen vegetables and fruit require no
thawing before use and can be immersed in
boiling water directly from the freezer.
To thaw meat, it is advisable to take it out
of the freezer the day before it is to be used
and place it in a refrigerator to defrost. This
ensures the best hygiene and maintains
meat quality as much as possible.
Note:
Glass bottles or cans containing carbonated (zzy) drinks must never be placed
in the freezer as they may explode.

Defrosting
GB
The items stored and the humidity of the air
gradually cause frost and ice to form in the
freezer. A thin layer of frost or ice does not
affect freezer performance, but the thicker
the layer, the higher the energy consumption. Small amounts of loose frost can be
removed using a plastic scraper.
Never use electrical apparatus or sharp implements as these may damage the inside
of the appliance.
When the layer of frost and ice exceeds
4-5 mm the freezer should be completely
defrosted. It is recommended that defrosting be performed when there are no or only
a few items stored in the freezer.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press the Super Freeze button 4-5
hours before defrosting. This lowers the
temperature of the items stored to approx. –25 °C, thus prolonging the length
of time they remain frozen after having
been removed from the freezer (see step
3 below).
2. Disconnect the power supply.
3. Remove the items of food. Place them
in a refrigerator or wrap them up to keep
them as cold as possible.
4. Keep the freezer lid open.
5. Position the partition under the defrost
water drain.
6. Place a bowl of hot (but not boiling) water
in the freezer, close the lid and wait approx. 30 minutes before removing loose
frost with the plastic scraper.
7. To prevent water from damaging the oor
during defrosting, it is advisable to check
the defrost water tray from time to time
and to cover the oor around the defrost
water drain to protect against ice and
splashes. When all the frost and ice have
melted, clean the inside of the cabinet
using water with a mild, perfume-free detergent. Dry the freezer with a soft cloth.
8. Reconnect the power supply. If many
items are to be returned to the freezer,
activate the Super Freeze button.
9. Return items to the freezer approx. 5
minutes after having switched it on.
Remember to reinsert the stopper in the
defrost water drain.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning
Before cleaning, disconnect the power supply and remove all loose ttings.
The cabinet is best cleaned using warm
water (max. 65 °C) with a little mild,
perfume-free detergent. Never use cleaning
agents that scour. Use a soft cloth. Rinse
with clean water and dry thoroughly. It is
important to prevent water from entering the
control panel.
The sealing strip around the lid must be
cleaned regularly to prevent discolouration
and prolong service life. Use clean water.
After cleaning the sealing strip, check that it
continues to provide a tight seal.
The ventilation grille must be kept free
of dust and dirt. Clean it with a vacuum
cleaner.
If the appliance is not to be used for any
length of time, switch it off, disconnect the
power supply, empty it, clean the cabinet
and leave the lid open to allow air circulation and prevent smells.
Replacing the bulb
1. Disconnect the power supply by pulling
the plug out of the socket.
2 . Remove the lamp cover by pressing its
upper edge downwards to release it from
the two clips (g. 7).
3. Replace the bulb(s).
4. Ret the cover and reconnect the power
supply.
