Advice for recycling your old appliance
If your newly purchased appliance replaces an older appliance,
you must consider a few aspects.
The old appliances are not valueless scrap. Their disposal,
while preserving the environment, allows the recovery of
important raw materials.
Make your old appliance useless :
- disconnect the appliance from the supply;
- remove the supply cord (cut it);
- remove the eventual locks on the door to avoid the blocking of
children inside, while playing, and the endangering of their lives.
The refrigerating apliances contain insulating materials and
refrigerants which require a proper recycling.

Freezer operation
Temperature adjustment
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted
by means of the knob assembled on the
thermostat (item. 4), position „MAX” being
the lowest temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary
according to the conditions of use of the
appliance, such as: place of the appliance,
ambient temperature, frequency of door
opening, extent of filling with food of the
freezer. The position of the thermostat
knob will change according to these
factors. Normally, for an ambient
temperature of approx. 320C, the
thermostat will be adjusted on an average
position.
The signalling system is placed on the
front side of the freezer (Item 5).
It includes:
1. Thermostat adjustment knob –the
inside temperature is adjusted.
2. green LED –shows that the appliance
is supplied with electric energy.
3. red LED –damage –lights if the
temperature in the freezer is too high.
The LED will operate 15-45 minutes
after the putting into operation of the
freezer, then it must go off. If the LED
goes on during the operation, this
means that defects have occurred.
4. LED Orange–fast freeze function
activated –by setting the knob to
Superfreeze position the orange led
goes on, showing that the appliance
entered into the "fast freeze" mode.
The exit of this mode is done
automatically after 50 hours then the
appliance runs in economic mode, and
the orange led goes off.
The three LEDs give information about the
mode of operation of the freezer.
Advise for food conservation
The freezer is intended to keep the frozen
food for a long time, as well as to freeze
fresh food.
One of the main elements for a successful
food freezing is the packing.
The main conditions that the packing must
fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be
inert towards the packed food, to resist to
low temperatures, to be proof to liquids,
grease, water vapours, smells, to be able to
be washed.
These conditions are fulfilled by the
following types of packings: plastic or
aluminium film, plastic and aliminium
vessels, waxed cardboard glasses or
plastic glasses.
IMPORTANT!
- For freezing the fresh food please use
the supplied baskets of the appliance.
- Do not place into the freezer a too large
quantity of food at a time. The quality of
the food is best kept if they are deeply
frozen as quickly as possible. This is why
it is advisable not to exceed the freezing
capacity of the appliance specified in the
"Product Fiche".
- The fresh food must not come into
contact with the food already frozen.
- The frozen food you have bought can be
placed into the freezer without having to
adjust the thermostat.
- If the freezing date is not mentioned on
the packing, please take into consideration
a period of max. 3 months, as a general
guide.
- The food, even partially defrosted,
cannot be frozen again, it must be
consumed immediately or cooked and
then refrozen.
- The fizzy drinks will not be kept in the
freezer.
- In case of a power failure, do not open
the door of the appliance. The frozen food
will not be affected if the failure lasts less
than 36 hours.

EN Instruction for use

Defrosting of the appliance
We advise you to defrost the freezer at
least twice a year or when the ice layer
has an excessive thickness.
The ice build-up is a normal
phenomenon.
The quantity and the rapidity of ice
build-up depends on the ambient
conditions and on the frequency of the
door opening.
We advise you to defrost the appliance
when the quantity of frozen food is the
least.
Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat
knob to a higher position so that the food
stores more cold.
- Unplug the appliance.
- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in
several sheets of paper and put them in
refrigerator or a cool place.
Take the separator panel and put it under
the freezer in the direction of the dripping
tube. Take out the obstructing plug. The
water which results will be collected in the
special tray (separator panel). After the
melting of the ice and the run-off of the
water please wipe with a cloth or with a
sponge, then dry well. Put the obstruction
plug back in its place. (Item. 6)
For a fast thaw please leave the door
open.
Do not use sharp metal objects to

Freezing with Superfrost
• Place the knob to super frost position.
The Superfrost lamp comes on.
• Wait 24 hours.
• Place the fresh food in the freezer. In
order to achieve fast freezing, food should
be in contact with the interior walls when it
is placed in the freezer.
• The Superfrost facility automatically
switches the fast freezing procedure off
after 50 hours.
Important
When you place the knob to Superfrost
position, the compressor might not
switch on for a few minutes. This is due
to the integrated rise-delay switch
which is designed to increase the life
span of the refrigeration unit.
You should not switch on the Superfrost
function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh
food daily.

Replacing the interior light bulb
If the lamp burns out, disconnect the
appliance from the mains. Take out the
lamp trim. Make sure the lamp is screwed
correctly. Plug in the appliance again. If
the lamp still does not go on, replace it
with another one model E14-15W. Mount
back the lamp trim in its place.
The lamp(s) used in this appliance is not
suitable for household room illumination.
The intended purpose of this lamp is to
assist the user to place foodstuffs in the
refrigerator/freezer in a safe and
comfortable way.
The lamps used in this appliance have to
withstand extreme physical conditions
such as temperatures below -20°C.
