Circulation

:

Your

must

have

adequate

alr

circulation.

If

your

freezer

is

placed

in

a

recessed

area

in

the

wall,

allow

at

least

a

clearance

of

1.5

inches

or

more

above

and

at

both

sides

of

the

the

wall.

There

must

be

proper

air

circulation

around

your

freezer

to

keep

it

operating

efficiently.

For

maximum

circulation,

the

should

be

elevated

1

INSTALLATION

CONNECTING

THE

APPLIANCE

Connect

the

power

supply

cord

or

plug

to

the

outlet.

Don’t

double

up

with

other

appliances

on

the

same

outlet.

In

the

event

of

an

electrical

short

circuit,

earthing

reduces

the

risk

of

electric

shock

by

providing

an

escape

wire

for

the

electric

current.

If

this

appliance

is

equipped

with

a

cord

having

an

earthing

wire

with

an

earthing

plug,

you

must

plug

into

an

outlet

that

is

properly

installed

and

grounded.

If

this

appliance

has

no

grounding

(earthing)

plug

with

a

cord

having

a

grounding

(earthing)

wire,

appliance

must

be

earthed

another

way.

:

Do

not

use

an

extension

cord

ir

possible,

connect

the

freezer

to

its

own

individual

appliance

circuit

so

that

the

other

appliances

or

a

heavy

load

of

household

lights

will

not

cause

an

overload,

that

might

interrupt

the

electrical

current.

Also

a

loose

connector

might

result

from

doubling

up

with

another

appliance

in

the

outlet.

!

Improper

use

of

the

earthing

plug

can

result

in

an

electric

shock.

Consult

a

qualified

electrician

or

service

person

if

the

grounding

instructions

are

not

completely

understood

or

if

you

have

doubts

on

whether

the

appliance

is

properly

grounded.

POWER

FAILURE

In

case

of

a

power

failure,

the

good

thermal

insulation

of

your

freezer

will

ensure

the

preservation

of

the

food

for

at

least

12

hours

free

of

any

alteration

as

long

as

the

freezer

door

is

not

opened.

If

the

power

is

off

for

a

longer

period

of

time,

the

food

must

be

used

as

soon

as

possible.

If

raw,

cook

it

right

away

and

refreeze

it.

STORAGE

TIME

This

appliance

carries

the

freezer

symbol

BES]

indicating

that

it

is

suitable

both

for

long

term

storage

(4-STAR;

up

to

3

months)

of

pre-frozen

foods

and

for

home

freezing

of

fresh

food.

Freezing

capacity

of

this

appliance

is

9kg/24h(20Ib/24h).

Generally

speaking,

long-term

storage

is

possible

for

up

to

3

months,

but

this

will

vary

with

the

nature

of

the

packaged

food,

so

always

follow

the

manufacturer’s

recommended

storage

time

gi-

ven

on

the

packet.

An

indication

of

the

thermostat

setting

is

necessary

to

obtain

the

prescribed

temperature

in

the

frozen

food

cabinet.

In

practice,

some

variations

will

occur

in

the

amount

of

food

which

can

be

stored

because

of

the

different

shape

and

densities

of

the

foods.

It

is

necessary

to

store

commercially

frozen

food

in

accordance

with

the

instructions

given

on

the

packets

that

you

buy.

A

rise

of

temperature

of

the

frozen

food

packs

during

defrosting

may

short-

en

the

storage

life

and

the

estimate

given

above

and

the

frozen

food

manufacturer’s

estimate

may

not

then

apply.

!

Do

not

store

uncovered

containers

of

liquid

or

hot

food.

Cool

the

latter

beforehand

down

to

room

temperature:

you

will

avoid

the

formation

of

condensation

and

save

energy.

DEFROSTING

From

time

to

time

the

frost

should

be

removed

from

the

walls

and

shelves

inside

the

appliance.

Do

not

use

sharp

objects

for

this

purpose

since

they

could

perma-

nently

damage

the

appliance.

Use

the

plastic

scraper

provided.

To

defrost

the

appliance

completely

(this

should

be

done

at

least

once

or

twice

a

year),

disconnect

the

plug

and

leave

the

door

open

until

the

frost

has

completely

thawed.

To

speed

up

the

defrosting

operation,

one

or

more

trays

of

warm

water

may

be

placed

inside

the

appliance.

During

the

whole

operation

it

is

advisable

to

wrap

any

frozen

food

in

several

pages

of

newspaper

and

put

them

ina

cool

place.

As

the

inevitable

rise

of

temperature

shortens

their

life,

these

should

be

consumed

as

soon

as

possible.
