BEFORE USE

• This appliance is intended strictly for household use, for storing food only.
• If the unpacked appliance is damaged, please contact your dealer.
• The mains electricity supply must conform to the rating plate of the appliance.

INSTALLATION

• Fully unpack the appliance. Please ensure that all packaging materials are removed and properly disposed of before installation and kept out of children’s reach.
• The appliance should be installed in a dry, well-ventilated room, and not exposed to direct sunlight, and not placed near a heat source.
• Leave at least 10cm between the appliance and the surrounding for ventilation and heat dissipation.
• The electricity supply must conform to as specifications on the rating plate and follow local regulations.
• It is recommended to wait at least two hours before plugging the appliance in after installation. This helps the refrigerant circuit to stabilise.
• Install the appliance at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate class indicated on the rating plate of the appliance:
  • Extended temperature: ‘This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 °C to 32 °C’;
  • Temperate: ‘This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 32 °C’;
  • Subtropical: ‘This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 38 °C’;
  • Tropical: ‘This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging from 16 °C to 43°C’;

START-UP

1. Insert the plug in the socket. All indicators light up and switch off. And then the temperature is displayed.
2. Allow one hour for the temperature inside the appliance to go down, and then place food inside the appliance.

TEMPERATURE SETTING

Turn the thermostat (1) to adjust the temperature between Min (warmer) and Max (colder ). The storage temperature will decrease from the minimum.

FREEZING FOOD

• Wrap or seal food in aluminium foil, air-tight containers, or food storage bags before freezing.
• Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the appliance.
• A smaller portion of food will be faster frozen. The recommended max portion weight is 2.5kg.
• Avoid placing warm food directly in contact with already frozen food. Frozen food could defrost and may not last the foreseen storage time.
• The capacity of the appliance, as shown on the rating plate, should not be exceeded.
• When filling the appliance with higher quantities of fresh food, it is recommended to turn on the Super Freeze function (if available) 24 hours in advance.
• The storage me for purchased deep-frozen products varies and depends on the type of product and its packaging. Therefore, strictly observe the producer/manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Always ensure that the power supply is switched off before conducting any maintenance or cleanof the appliance.
• If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended period, leave it open to prevent odour and unpleasant smells from building up inside.
• To ensure the safe preservation of foodstuffs, please comply with this instruction to use and clean the freezer regularly. The detail is as below part.
• Clean the inside of your freezer at least once a year. A tablespoon of baking soda to a litre/quart of water.
• Rinse thoroughly with water and wipe dry. Do not use cleaning powders or other abrasive cleaners.
• Do not wash removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, or sponges, or abrasive rasps
• Clean the door gasket every three months according to applicable instructions to ensure a proper seal.For positions, such as seams, slots, holes, and so on, the simple tools, detachable shelves, trays, drawers, and similar accessories can be cleaned by removing them from the appliance and washing them in the basin.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents, or metal scouring pads. Some of these chemicals may dissolve, and/or discolour your freezer.

DEFROSTING

The appliance should be defrosted once the thickness of ice on the walls reaches 5-6 mm.
Do not use any electrical, sharp, or mechanical objects to assist in defrosting the ice removal process, unless supplied or approved by the manufacturer or an approved service centre. To remove ice from the inner walls, use a plastic or wood scraper without sharp edges. Never use a metal scraper. Proceed as follows:

1. Make sure to unplug the appliance.
2. Dry your hands thoroughly to prevent skin damage by contact with ice (it is advised to use gloves).
3. Remove all frozen food from the appliance, and put it into a container, a cool box, and put the frozen cool blocks on top of the frozen food to help keep it very cold, and place the container or cool box in a cool, dry room.
4. Pull out the water drain plug (if available) located at the bottom of the appliance. Otherwise, you must wipe up the melted water at the bottom of the appliance compartment with a sponge or towel.
5. Scrape the ice carefully from the inside of the appliance and put it into your kitchen sink for defrosting.
6. Thoroughly clean the inside of the appliance compartment, rinse it with warm water, and remove any spilled food or liquids.
7. Wipe the appliance with an absorbent cloth or sponge, thoroughly dry, and allow it to air for about 3 to 4 minutes.
8. Replace the drain plug (if available).
9. Close the appliance door, replace the plug in the socket, and turn the appliance on.
10. Now, re the frozen food. To prevent frozen food from defrosting, carry out the defrosting procedure within a maximum of two hours to reduce a rise in temperature of the frozen food that would shorten the storage life.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Door difficult to open?

After closing the door, it may be difficult to open it again for a few minutes. This is normal and means that the door seal is working correctly. Just wait a few minutes and you will be able to open the door easily.

No opera on (appliance not running/getting cold)

• Is there a power failure?
• Is the plug in good condition and properly plugged into the socket?

Appliance not working sufficiently/ ‘Red light’ is on

• Is the lid of the appliance closed properly?
• Is there heavy ice formed on the inner walls?
• Is the appliance exposed to direct sunlight or a heat source?
• Have too many warm foods been put in the appliance?
• The climate class can be found on the range label in the back of the appliance. It specifies the ambient temperatures at which the appliance will operate correctly.

The appliance makes noise.

This noise is produced when the motor in the compressor operates, and also by the refrigerant owing to the cooling system circuit. These noises are normal.

Condensation builds up on external walls

Under certain atmospheric conditions, condensation can form on the can from on external walls of the appliance. This is normal and won’t affect the function of one of the appliances.
