malfunction of the freezer.
Service of the freezer should be carried out by an
authorised service com any, and only original s are
arts should be used. See under Guarantee
Conditions and Service.
It is dangerous to alter the freezer s ecifications, or
to change the freezer in any other way.
Make sure that the freezer is not laced on to of the
mains cable.
Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted.
Observe the recommendations for storage carefully.
See under Hel ful Hints.
This freezer includes com onents that are heated
during o eration. Consequently, adequate ventilation
must always be rovided. If ventilation is insufficient
defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See
under Installation.
The inside of the freezer contains i es through which
coolant flows. If these i es are unctured the freezer
may be damaged beyond re air, and food may be lost.
Do not use shar im lements to remove frost or ice.
Frost can be removed using the enclosed scra er. Do
not knock ice off the sides of the freezer, but remove it
by defrosting the freezer. See under Maintenance.

containing carbonic acid or s arkling drinks are
articularly rone to ex losion, which may damage
the freezer.
This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.
If the freezer is fitted with a lock to revent tam ering
by children, the key must always be ke t safely out of
the reach of children, and far away from the freezer.
Before dis osing of an old freezer, make sure that the
lock (if resent) no longer works. This is to revent
accidents and avoid the danger of children getting
locked inside.
Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the
freezer.
ake sure that the power plug is not squashed
or damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- A damaged ower lug may overheat and cause a
fire.
Do not place heavy articles or the fridge/freezer
itself on the power cord.
- There is a risk of a short circuit and fire.
Do not remove the power cord by pulling on its
lead, particularly when the fridge/freezer is
being pulled out of its niche.
- Damage to the cord may cause a short-circuit, fire
and/or electric shock.
- If the ower cord is damaged, it must be re laced
by a certified service agent or qualified service
ersonnel.
If the power plug socket is loose, do not insert
the power plug.
- There is a risk of electric shock or fire.
IN THE INTERESTS OF THE
ENVIRON ENT:
When dis osing of your old fridge, freezer or
fridge/freezer:
Check with your local Council or Environmental Health
Officer to see if there are facilities in your area for
collecting the gas from the a liance for recycling. This
will hel reduce the amount of CFC gas released into the
atmos here. Hel to kee your country tidy - when
dis osing of an old a liance or a CFC free a liance
use an authorised dis osal site.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIP ENT (2)
Control panel
1. Tem erature controller and signal lam of the control
section (green)
2. FROSTMATIC button for quick freezing and
FROSTMATIC signal lam (yellow)
3. AVERTISSEMENT ARRET (alarm acknowledgement)
(to sto the acoustic alarm signal) and alarm signal
lam (red).
4. Digital tem erature dis lay.
HOW TO USE
DIGITAL TE PERATURE DISPLAY
Each model is rovided with a digital tem erature dis lay
built in the cover gri . During normal o eration, it
indicates the tem erature of frozen goods in °C.
Nevertheless, there may be certain exce tions as follows:
- In CONGÉLATION RAPIDE (quick freezing) mode,
"ÊSPÊ" is dis layed.
- If the tem erature sensor is failed, a small rectangle is
dis layed on the u er or lower right corner of the
dis lay (see cha ter: Procedure in case of).
The tem erature indicator dis lays the
tem erature of the frozen goods and, as a result,
shows relatively slow changes e.g. in the case that goods
are added. If the cover remains o en for long time, it may
occur that the tem erature alarm tri s while the
tem erature indicator remains unchanged. This is not a
failure. Press the button AVERTISSEMENT ARRET (alarm
acknowledgement) to sto the acoustic alarm signal. The
red alarm signal lam extinguishes after a certain time.
TE PERATURE ALAR
If the tem erature in the freezer becomes too high, the
acoustic alarm sounds and the red alarm signal lam
flashes.
The acoustic alarm signal sounds and the red alarm
signal lam lights u :
- on utting the equi ment into service until the
tem erature necessary for conservation is reached; or
if the tem erature of conservation cannot be
maintained any more (malfunction;
- after loading fresh food in a quantity exceeding the
freezing ca acity (see "Freezing");
- if the cover remains o en for long time.
Press the button AVERTISSEMENT ARRET (alarm
acknowledgement) to sto the acoustic alarm
signal. The red alarm signal lam continues to flash until
the freezer reaches the ro er tem erature.
The acoustic alarm signal fails to sound and the
red alarm indicator fails to light u
- if the ower su ly to the equi ment fails;
- in the case that the electronic tem erature controller is
failed.
PRIOR TO PUTTING INTO SERVICE
Clean the inside of equi ment and all the a liances
rior to utting into service the first time (see cha ter:
"Cleaning and maintenance")
Remove the heat accumulators if rovided.
Do not lace the heat accumulators on the bottom of
freezer and do not freeze them but only once at the
time the o timum tem erature of - 18 °C necessary
for conservation is reached.
After a rox. 24 hours, lace the heat accumulators
- if rovided - in the freezing trays arranged in ranging
baskets that are sus ended at the u er art of the
freezing s ace.
If the freezing trays are used for re-freezing, the heat
accumulators can also be laced directly on the
frozen roducts in the ranging baskets that are
sus ended at the u er art of the freezing s ace.
If the heat accumulators are melted e.g. following the
cleaning of equi ment, they shall be frozen in the
manner described above.
PUTTING INTO SERVICE
Insert the lug connector into the mains rece tacle
and turn the tem erature control knob by means of a
coin. The green lam indicating that the equi ment is
energized is lit.
- If the tem erature control knob is in "OFF" osition
while the lug connector is inserted into the mains
rece tacle, the equi ment does not function and
the signal lam does not lit.
- The equi ment runs in the "CONGÉLATION
RAPIDE" (quick freezing) mode for 5 hours and the
yellow signal lam is lit.
- To sto the CONGÉLATION RAPIDE mode, ress
the button CONGÉLATION RAPIDE for 2 seconds.

7
GB
The mark "SP" on the dis lay disa ears and the
inner tem erature is dis layed; at the same time,
the yellow signal lam CONGÉLATION RAPIDE
extinguishes.
Use the button AVERTISSEMENT ARRET (alarm
acknowledgement) to sto the acoustic alarm signal.
The red alarm signal lam extinguishes automatically
after a certain time.
Following the ower su ly failure or on the first
utting into service when the inside tem erature of
freezer is still too high, the equi ment is set to
CONGÉLATION RAPIDE mode for 5 hours. The
dis lay shows "SP". If you want to sto the equi ment
rior to the ex iry of the five-hour eriod, ress the
button CONGÉLATION RAPIDE for 2 seconds.
ADJUSTING THE TE PERATURE
SETTING (3)
Use a coin to turn the tem erature control knob. This is
to render it more difficult to change the setting
inadvertently ( rotection against children's action).
Position "Off" means that the equipment is switched
off.
Position "1" means that the inside temperature is at
its highest value.
Position "4" means that the inside temperature is at
its lowest value.
Recommended setting: "2" or "3".
Use a coin and turn the tem erature control knob to
osition "2" or "3".
The factors influencing the inside tem erature are
as follows:
- ambient tem erature;
- quantity of foods to be conserved;
- frequency and duration of o ening the cover.
Therefore, by means of the thermometer or digital
dis lay, res ectively, de ending on the ty e of
equi ment, verify at regular intervals whether the
tem erature of conservation is at its o timum value
(-18 °C or less).
If necessary, readjust the tem erature setting in a
manner that the thermometer or digital dis lay reads
-18 °C or above.
Scientific results show that a tem erature of
-18 °C can be considered to be sufficient for the
conservation of foods.
ENERGY SAVING IN CASE OF HALF
A LOAD OR PARTIAL LOAD (4, 5)
Certain ty es allow energy saving if only artly loaded.
To achieve this, rearrange the roducts at the bottom
of freezer u to a height marked by a green line A on
the se arating wall.
Set the tem erature control knob within the energy
saving range marked B.
Verify whether the o timum conservation
tem erature of -18 °C or above is maintained.
Attention! If the goods are iled u to the height
exceeding the green line, set the tem erature control
knob to "2" or "4".
SWITCHING THE EQUIP ENT OFF
To ut the equi ment out of service, turn the
tem erature control knob counterclockwise to "off"
osition. The green signal lam is extinguished.
Putting the equi ment out of service for rolonged time.
To ut the equi ment out of service, turn the
tem erature control knob counterclockwise to "off"
osition. The green signal lam is extinguished.
Then, disconnect the lug connector from the mains
rece tacle.
Disconnect the ower su ly from mains or
disconnect or remove the fuse. De-ice the freezer and
clean it carefully (see "Cleaning and maintenance).
Leave the cover o en to revent any smell from being
formed.
FREEZING
Recommendation: for freezing fresh food, use the small
freezing com artment on the right side of se arating wall
(see also "Interior of equi ment /se arating wall"). This
enables the fresh food to be se arated from those already
frozen. Take always care of reventing the food already
frozen from being melted as a result of contact with fresh
food. If the freezing com artment is insufficient, art of
goods can also be laced in the large com artment of
conservation on the left side of se arating wall.
Attention!
Prior to freezing foods, the inner tem erature of
freezer shall be of -18 °C or below.
Observe the freezing ca acity indicated on the data
label. The freezing ca acity is the maximum quantity
of fresh roducts that can be frozen within 24 hours.
If the freezing is im lemented during several
subsequent days, only 2/3 or 3/4 of the quantity
indicated on the data label shall be frozen.
Any food once melted is not allowed to be frozen at a
second time without further rocessing (e.g.
re aration of cold dishes).
In order to utilize the maximum
freezing ca acity, de ress the button
"CONGÉLATION RAPIDE (quick
freezing) for 2 seconds 24 hours in
advance of the time the freezing is
lanned to begin or 4 to 6 hours in
advance if only a small quantity of
goods is to be frozen. The yellow
signal lam is lit and "SP" a ears on
the dis lay.
It is not necessary to use the button FROSTMATIC
for quantities not exceeding 3 kg.
Wra the foods hermetically rior to freezing in order to
revent them from becoming dry, loosing their flavour
or interacting with the flavour of other frozen foods.
Caution! Do not touch the frozen roducts with wet
hands; otherwise your hands may stick to the frozen
roduct as a result of freezing.

8
GB
Place the wra ed foods into the freezer. Make sure
that they are in good contact with the side walls. The
roducts not frozen shall not be in contact with those
already frozen in order to revent the latter from
melting.
In order to freeze additional roducts, reserve the
quick freezing setting. Alternatively, sto the quick
freezing mode about 24 hours following the loading
of goods (earlier in case of small quantities). To do
this, de ress the button FROSTMATIC again. The
yellow FROSTMATIC signal lam extinguishes.
If the "CONGÉLATION RAPIDE" button is not
de ressed to sto the "CONGÉLATION RAPIDE"
function, the equi ment switches automatically to the
normal mode after a 48-hour o eration (the yellow signal
lam extinguishes and the dis lay shows the inner
tem erature). Then, the equi ment continues to o erate
in the mode determined by the setting of tem erature
control knob.
Advices:
For wra ing the goods to be frozen, use
- freezing bags and foils made of olyethylene;
- s ecial boxes suitable for frozen food;
- aluminized a er of extra strength.
For closing the bags and foils, use airs of incers
made of lastic, rubber bands or adhesive ta es.
Prior to closing, urge the air from the bags and foils;
otherwise, the air romotes the drying of food and, in
addition, occu ies s ace.
Make small flat ackages in order to accelerate the
freezing.
Do not fill the s ecial boxes to the brim with cream or
liquid due to the dilatation occurring during freezing.
Remarks for the control services
Piling u lans for determining the freezing ca acity or
the time of re-heating are available on request directly
from the manufacturer.
CONSERVATION OF FROZEN
PRODUCTS
Attention! Prior to loading the freezer the first time with
food already frozen, the tem erature of -18 °C necessary
for conservation shall be obtained.
Conserve only frozen foods that are wra ed in order
to revent them from becoming dry, loosing their
flavour or interacting with the flavour of other frozen
foods.
Observe the eriod of conservation or the
conservation term of frozen roduct.
Conserve ice creams and fat foods in the lower art
of freezer (near the bottom).
REPLACE ENT OF ELECTRIC BULBS (6)
Prior to re lacement of electric bulbs, the equi ment
shall be disconnected from the mains. Unscrew the bulb
and re lace with a new one of the same ty e (max. 15 W)
available commercially or with your After Sale Service.
Danger! Risk of electric shock! Prior to re lacement of
electric bulbs, remove the lug connector of equi ment
from the mains rece tacle or disconnect or unscrew the
fuse of lodgement.
Lam s ecification: 220 to 240 V, max. 15 W, bulb
holder: E 14.
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no more than
room tem erature).
Food must be acked in airtight and moisture- roof
ackaging to revent it from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides
of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with
the frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the to
edge.
See under Hel ful hints.
CAPACITY (7)
The freezing ca acity of the freezer is stated in the data
late (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if
you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data late
is located inside the lid.
I PORTANT
The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the
full occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh
food. However, if the freezer is filled with large
amounts of food for freezing every day, the capacity
stated is reduced by about one-third.
LOCK (8)
(Not a standard accessory for all models.) The lock works
as shown in the drawings. Remember to kee the key out
of the reach of children.
PARTITION WALL
The artition wall can be taken out and used to collect
dri water during defrosting. See under Maintenance.
BASKET (9)
The baskets are designed for the storage of food which
has already been frozen. The handles can be laced in
two ositions, as shown in the drawings.
The baskets can either be laced inside the freezer or
hung on the edge of the casing.
LOW FROST SYSTE
The atented LOW FROST System reduces the ice-build-
u in the chest freezer by u to 80 ercent, which results
in u to five times longer eriods between the
requirement to defrost. To get the full benefit of the
system, lease observe the following oints:
The amount of ice-build-u in any freezer is very much
de endent of the moisture of the surrounding air. The ice
will build u quicker in a humid climate than in a dry climate.

9
GB
Therefore you should avoid installing your freezer in very
humid surroundings. The LOW FROST system minimizes
the amount of ice caused by the natural tem erature
cycle of the freezer. However, ice-build-u from other
sources is not reduced. The most im ortant other
sources are oorly wra ed food and warm air
introduced when the lid is o ened.
Therefore, it is im ortant to ensure that the lid isnt
o ened unnecessarily, and the lid is not obstructed by
acks of food when closed.
If food stored in the freezer is not wra ed ro erly,
humidity from the food will settle as ice on the freezer
walls. Food quality will also deteriorate, so ensure that
food ut in the freezer is wra ed well.
Maintenance and Cleaning. The LOW FROST system
does not need any maintenance or cleaning during
normal use. If needed the i e can be wi ed with a soft
cloth. Do not use any shar or iercing tools, as this may
damage the system.
THE ROLE OF THE PRESSURE
EQUALISATION VALVE (10)
The ressure equalisation valve installed in your freezer
automatically eliminates the ressure difference which
otherwise would make it very difficult or even im ossible
to o en the lid.
It may be ossible to hear the o eration of the valve as
the air flows in through the airing outlet in the rear wall of
the cabinet.
For a safe o eration, kee the two o enings of the valve
clear, do not cover them!
HELPFUL HINTS
STORAGE
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the
freezer, but should be ke t at least 5 mm below the
to edge. Never exceed the maximum storage time for
urchased frozen food. When you buy frozen food, make
sure that it has been stored at the correct tem erature. Do
not buy roducts which have wet or damaged ackaging.
Place urchased roducts in your freezer as quickly as
ossible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring
such roducts home with you. Never lace bottles, warm
objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot
dishes to room tem erature as quickly as ossible
before lacing them in the freezer. Wra food carefully in
freezer foil, or use the s ecial freezer boxes or bags
which are on the market. Divide food into small ortions
before freezing - this ensures that freezing is more ra id,
and means that you only need to defrost the amount
needed for immediate consum tion.
Remember that defrosted food must not be re-frozen.
However, dishes which have been made using defrosted
food may be frozen. Mark the freezer ackaging with the
date of freezing. We recommend kee ing a record of the
contents of your freezer. If freezing is too slow, the quality
of the food being frozen deteriorates. Consequently, do
not freeze larger amounts than stated in the freezers data
late. If you wish to freeze food several days in a row, the
maximum freezing ca acity stated er day is reduced by
about one-third. As far as ossible, kee the lid closed
during freezing. If you know nothing about home freezing,
we recommend that you urchase a book containing
advice and guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room
tem erature, since this increases the risk of
bacteria growth. It is best to defrost large ortions of
meat or oultry in the refrigerator, and this also a lies to
food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter
and sliced meat). Small ortions of food can be cooked
straight from the freezer. A good number of ready-to-
cook dishes can also be cooked without defrosting.
Always observe the instructions on roduct ackaging.
Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven.
Microwave ovens can be used for the ra id defrosting of
most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for use of
the microwave oven concerned.
ACCESSORIES (11)
S are baskets can be obtained from your local
Service Centre. The illustrations on this age
show how many baskets can be laced in the various
freezer models. Measure the length of your freezer and
find the a ro riate illustration. The number above each
illustration indicates its length in millimetres.
AINTENANCE
DEFROSTING (12)
The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be
avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air
comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer.
Consequently, the lid should only be o ened when
necessary, and it should never be left o en.
A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of
the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully
using the scra er rovided.
I PORTANT
Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to
remove frost.
When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer
should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your
freezer when there is little or no food inside.
Switch off the current. Remove the contents of the
freezer, wra them in news a ers, and leave them in a
cold lace.
The s eed of defrosting can be increased by lacing one
or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer
and closing the lid. O en the lid after a while, and remove
the layer of ice carefully.
The defrost water can be collected in the artition wall as
shown in the drawing.
Do not try to s eed u defrosting by using anything other
than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. After
defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer.

10
I PORTANT
Remember to replace the plug in the drip water drain.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the lug from the mains socket, and remove all
loose accessories before cleaning the freezer.
The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting and
before the electricity su ly is connected again.
Use a dam cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water,
and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent.
After cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets
before re lacing them.
I PORTANT
Never use strong cleaning agents, scouring powder
or strongly aromatic cleaning agents to clean your
freezer inside, since this will damage the inside and
leave a strong smell.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soa y water. Do NOT
use abrasive roducts.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the a liance from the electricity su ly.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly o en.

It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the
outside occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the
freezing rocess. This heat also hel s to revent the
formation of moisture on the outside of the a liance

If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the
com ressor may not start immediately when the current
is re-connected. This is quite normal.
IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR
BREAKDOWN
The hold-over eriod mentioned in the "Technical
S ecification" section of this book refers to an estimated
time the freezer tem erature will take to rise to an
unacce table level for kee ing frozen foods.
Providing the eriod of ower failure or breakdown does
not exceed the hold-over eriod there will be no risk of
damage to the frozen food, roviding you do not o en the
lid during this eriod.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is o ened this will
reduce the hold-over time.
After the breakdown eriod you are recommended to
check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to
thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has
thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you.
Ice cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and used
u .
Breads & Cakes: Can be re-frozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used
u quickly.
Cooked Dishes: ie. casseroles should be
