Before use

·Remove all securing tapes.

water with a little bicarbonate of soda added (5ml to 0,5 litre of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the smell maylinger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.

Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,

highly perfumed cleaning products, wax, polishes or products containing alcohol.

To start the freezer and thermostat control

1. Plug in the appliance.

Turn the thermostat control to the desired position. 1 : The lowest position of the thermostat control results in the highest temperature inside the cabinet. 6 : The highest position of the thermostat control results in the lowest temperature inside the cabinet. 0 : Off.

Practical advice on freezing

· When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if

necessary the shelf beneath that.

· Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.

· Spread out the products as much as possible to

allow air to circulate between them.

· Do not place food products which are to be

frozen directly against other frozen food. The heat from the unfrozen food may cause the frozen food to thaw on the surface.

· Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put

them as close as possible to each other. The food will then stay cold longer in the event of a power failure.

· Do not freeze too much food at the same time.

The freezing capacity of the unit is indicated in the specifications section.

Alarms and other features

Temperature alarm

A red warning lamp lights if it gets warmer than

-12°C. Find out what caused the alarm and correct the situation. The lamp goes out when it becomes colder than -13°C.

Suitable storage periods

Food purchased in frozen condition: Follow the advice on the maximum storage period indicated on the packaging. Food frozen at home: Fatty and salty food should not be kept frozen for more than three months. Cooked food and low-fat food may be kept up to about six months. Lean food and berries can be kept for approximately one year.

Temperature inside the freezer

To ensure that foodstuff will keep for a long time, be sure that the temperature inside the freezer is -18°C or below. Please note, however, that the energy consumption increases as the temperature decreases.

Thawing

It is best to use a fridge to thaw food. Place the foodstuff on a plate with a raised edge to prevent liquids from running out. To quickly thaw food, put it in room temperature or in cold water. When using a microwave oven to thaw foodstuffs, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
