Installing and operating your freezer
Before starting to use your freezer, you should pay attention to the
following points:
• The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.
• The plug must be accessible after installation.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the rst
time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your
freezer starts to cool.
• Before connecting your freezer, ensure that the information on
the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches that of the
mains electricity supply. If in doubt, consult a qualied electrician.
• Insert the plug into a socket with an efcient ground connection. If
the socket has no ground contact or the plug does not match, we
recommend that you consult a qualied electrician for assistance.
• The appliance must be connected with a properly installed fused
socket. Power supply (AC) and voltage at the operating point
must match with the details on the name plate of the appliance
(name plate is located on the inside left of the appliance).
• We do not accept responsibility for any damages that occur due
to ungrounded usage.
• Place your freezer where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Your freezer should never be used outdoors or exposed to rain.
• Your appliance should be at least 50 cm away from stoves, gas

EN
8BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
ovens and heater cores, and at least 5 cm away from electrical
ovens.
• When your freezer is placed next to a deep freezer, there should
be at least 2 cm between them to prevent humidity forming on
the outer surface.
• Do not place heavy items on the appliance.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the interior, before
use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
• The installation procedure into the kitchen unit is given in the
Installation Manual. This product is intended to be used in proper
kitchen units only.
• Use the adjustable front legs to make sure your appliance is
level and stable. You can adjust the legs by turning them in either
direction. This should be done before placing food in the freezer.
• Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a
solution of warm water and a teaspoon of sodium
bicarbonate, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Place all parts in the freezer after cleaning.
• Install the plastic distance guide (the part with black vanes at
the rear) by turning it 90° (as shown in the gure) to prevent the
condenser from touching the wall.
• The freezer should be placed against a wall with a free space not
exceeding 75 mm.
Electrical connection (For UK type plug)
For your safety please read the following information
Warning: This appliance must be earthed.
This appliance operates from 220-240 volts and should be protected
by a 13 amp fuse in the plug.
The appliance is supplied with a standard 13 amp 3-pin mains plug
tted with a 13-amp fuse. Should the fuse require replacement, it must
be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362.
If the mains plug which is tted is unsuitable for the socket outlet
in your home or is removed for any other reason, please follow the
instructions below on how to wire a 13 amp 3 pin plug..
How to wire a 13 amp plug.
Important
The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth

EN
9
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
As the colours may not correspond
with the markings identifying the
terminals in your plug proceed as
follows.
The green and yellow wire must
be connected to the terminal in the
plug which is marked with the letter
E or with the earth symbol or
coloured green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L.
You must make sure the lead is rmly secured under the cord clamp.
Before using your freezer
• When using your freezer for the rst time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This allows efcient operation and prevents
damage to the compressor.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the rst
time. This is normal and the smell will fade away when your
freezer starts to cool.
Information on No-Frost technology
No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating
principle.
In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to opening
the door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in
the freezer compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer
compartment, you are periodically required to turn off the freezer,
place the food that needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled
container and remove the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost freezers. Dry and cold
air is blown into the fridge and freezer compartments homogeneously
and evenly from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed
homogeneously and evenly between the shelves cools all of your
food equally and uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to
its huge capacity and stylish appearance.

• Do not place food you want to freeze next to frozen food.
• You should freeze your food (meat, minced meat, sh etc) in portions that
allow consuming in a time.
• Do not put fresh and warm food with frozen food side by side as it can thaw
the frozen food.
• While freezing fresh food (i.e. meat, sh and mincemeat) divide them in parts
in order to use in one time.
• For storing the frozen food; the instructions shown on frozen food packages
should always be followed carefully and if no information is provided, food
should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchased date.
• Maximum load; if you want to load large quantities and use the maximum net
capacity, you can remove the drawers (Except the bottom one). You can store
bulky items directly on the shelves.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable
temperatures and that the packing is intact.
• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers to maintain the
quality of the food and should be returned to the freezing surfaces of the unit
in the shortest possible time.
• If a package of frozen food shows the sign of humidity and abnormal swelling
it is probable that it has been previously stored at an unsuitable temperature
and that the contents have deteriorated.
• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, thermostat
setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food and the length of time
required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow
the instructions printed on the package and never exceed the maximum
storage life indicated.
• If you would use maximum freezing capacity of your freezer
• Take the frozen food in the upper basket to other baskets and activate “Fast
Freezing” mode. “Fast Freezing” mode will be deactivated automatically after
24 hours. Place the food you want to freeze to the upper basket of the freezer
without exceeding the freezing capacity of your freezer. (Your freezer has
the capacity to freeze 15 kg at 25°C and 14 kg at 32°C) Then reactivate the
“Fast Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after
they are frozen (minimum 24 hours after “Fast Freezing” mode is activated
for the 2nd time).
• If you would freeze about 3 kg food in your freezer:
• You can place your food without touching other frozen food and activate “Fast
Freezing” mode. You can put your food next to other frozen food after they
are frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze the frozen goods after being melted. This may cause health
issues like food poisoning.

food while storing them. If there is no explanation, food must be consumed
in a short time.
• If the package of frozen food is humid and smells bad, it may be stored under
inappropriate conditions and spoiled. Do not buy this kind of food!
• Storing time for frozen food may differ according to the ambient temperature,
frequency of door openings, thermostat adjustments, type of food and the
time between the buying of the food and placing of the food in the freezer.
Always follow instructions on the package and do not exceed storing period.
