Basket Storage
Frozen food should be stored in the two lower baskets
and the top compartment used for storage or fast freezing of fresh food.
Operation and use
Installation
Insert the plug into the socket. In order to switch on the
product, turn the thermostat (B) to a temperature lower
than << -16 °C >>. The green indicator will light up and the
red indicator will blink. The lighting up of the on/off indicator (A) means that the product is switched on. The
blinking of the red indicator means an improper temperature in the freezing compartment. In addition, an intermittent sound can be heard, which can be stopped by pressing button (D) once. You can switch off the freezer by
turning the thermostat (B) in position << >>.
Adjusting the temperature
The internal temperature of the freezer is regulated electronically through five temperature positions and a switchoff << >> setting.
Position << -16 °C>> indicates the highest (least cold)
temperature, while position << -24 °C>> is for the lowest
(coldest) temperature. Rotate the thermostat in the
desired position.
In general, it is best to set the thermostat to << -18°C >>
but, for the purpose of temperature setting, you should
also consider
the temperature of the room where the product is
installed,
the frequency of door openings,
the volume of food to be stored in the product,
the location of the product.
Therefore, you should consider all factors and you may
have to do some testing to find the best temperature. If
you want a lower temperature, turn the thermostat into a
position of higher number or, vice versa, if you need a
higher temperature, you should set a position of lower
number. Please allow 24 hours for the freezer temperature to stabilize between two adjustments.
Alarm (red) indicator
The temperature alarm indicator (E) will light up when the
internal temperature of the freezer increases to a level
(above -12°C) where the long-term conservation of the
foods in not ensured. Please note that, when switching on
the freezer for the first time, the alarm indicator will blink
until the internal temperature has reached a level required
for the safe conservation of frozen food.
Temperature problem:
Under normal operating conditions, the internal temperature of the freezer will ensure the long-term conservation
of the stored food. When such temperature rises above a
certain level (-12°C), it will trigger an acoustic and light
alarm. The light alarm is a blink red light (E), while the
acoustic alarm is an intermittent sound. You can stop the
acoustic alarm by pressing switch (D) once.
Freezing
Prepare the various foods properly and then freeze them
always in the freezing compartment.
For using the quick freeze function, press the quick freeze
on/off switch (D) for 2-3 seconds; in the case of small
and great food volumes you should do it approx. 4 and 24
hours, respectively, before you want to freeze the fresh
food. The yellow indicator (C) will light up. The compressor will operate continuously until the product reaches the
freezing temperature.
Once the food is completely frozen (it may take up to 24
hours) you can manually switch off the quick freeze function by pressing the switch (D) for 2-3 seconds. If not
switched off manually, the quick freeze function will be
automatically switched off 48 hours later. The yellow indicator (C) will also go out.

Freezing and storage of frozen
foods
As freezing with "No-Frost" technology is quicker, the
foods frozen this way will preserve their original form,
nutritional value and taste even after thawing.
Place the foods to be frozen in the lower part of the
appliance.
For the perfect operation of the appliance, make
sure that the frozen foods will not touch the ventilator
cover or the ventilator mounted in the rear of the
product.
For the best results it is recommended to distribute the
frozen foods evenly in the boxes.
If you make small portions of the foods, the freezing
process will take less time and subsequent thawing will
be possible in small portions also.
In order to avoid freezing burns, do not touch ice-creams
immediately after they have been taken out from the
freezer.
It is recommended to state the freezing date on the package so that later you can check the storage duration.
The time of transportation from the seller to the consumer must be as short as possible.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after removal from
the freezer can cause a low temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are
damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
frost/freezer burns.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will
not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the lid. Should the food begin to
thaw it must be consumed quickly and must not be refrozen. (See Hints and Tips)
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be
thawed in a fridge or at room temperature, depending on
the time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible, or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not
been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then
refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.
)
To Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place in
the freezing compartment and leave to freeze.
2. To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under
running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the
freezer compartment by using pointed or sharp
edged objects.
Hints & Tips
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat,
such as a boiler or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room
and make sure that the air openings of the appliance
are not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing
all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing
them in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge before being transferred to the
freezer.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter
the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on
unnecessarily.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door
from closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen
foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature within
your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food without
checking its condition. The following guidelines should
assist you:
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used
up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated
and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing there
are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a fresh
dish.

enance & Cleaning
enance & Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried
out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from
the electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVER use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will damage
the surface and leave a strong
odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the compressor at the back of the appliance with a
brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will
affect the performance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consumption.
Long-term abscence
If you do not use the product for longer periods, make
sure to perform the following:
Set the thermostat to position << >>.
Disconnect the product from the mains.
Remove all foods from the product.
Perform defrosting and cleaning operations as described
above.
Leave the doors ajar to avoid the build-up of unpleasant
odors.
Automatic defrosting
This product is designed to avoid the formation of ice in
the freezer. Accordingly, there is no need for manual
defrosting. The product will automatically perform any
defrosting once it becomes necessary.
No-Frost technology
In order to facilitate the removal of the ice layer, the evaporator is assisted by electric heating during the defrosting
procedure. The ventilator is in OFF position. The defrost
water will drip in the tray placed on the compressor and
will evaporate. In the course of the defrosting procedure
(approx. 30 minutes) the evaporator becomes warm but it
has no influence on the internal temperature.
The foods should be kept well-packed in order to avoid
any moisture loss as a result of air circulation.
Do not obstruct the vent holes because otherwise the
operation of the product may be compromised.
For such purpose it is recommended to put all foods in the
baskets in the freezer compartment.
