PART 3. ARRANGING FOOD IN THE APPLIANCE
• The use of freezer is, storing of deep-frozen or frozen food for long periods of time and
making ice cubes.
• Do not put fresh and warm food to the freezer door shelves to be frozen. Only use for
storage of frozen food.
• 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.
• 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.
• While freezing food; Maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24
hours is indicated on the appliance label.
• For optimum appliance performance to reach maximum freezing capacity , after loading
the fresh food into freezer press SF button. When the SF mode nishes, freezer will
continue to operate according to last set value.
Attention; In order to save energy, When freezing small amounts of food, reset the set value
to desired value to desired position. (Recommendation)
GBR - 11 -

PART 4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
• Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.
• Do not wash your freezer by pouring water on it.
• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical
components.
• The freezer should be cleaned periodically using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water Do not
clean them in the dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse
with clean water and dry carefully. When you have nished cleaning,
reconnect the plugto the mains supply with dry hands.
• Clean the condenser with a broom at least twice a year. This will
help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity.
!The power supply must be disconnected.
GBR - 12 -

Defrosting
Freezer defrosting process
• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending upon the length of
time for which the door is left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to
ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form at places where it will a󰀨ect the close tting
of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous
running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with
a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or
other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the
cabinet oor. It is not necessary to switch o󰀨 the appliance for the removal of this frost.
• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply,
empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to
keep them cold. Defrosting will be most e󰀨ective if carried out when the freezer is nearly
empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent undue increase in the
temperature of the contents.
• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate
the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will
shorten the storage life. If the contents are well wrapped and placed in a cool area they
should keep for several hours.
• Dry the inside of the compartment with a
sponge or a clean cloth.
• To accelerate the defrosting process,
place one or more bowls of warm water in
the freezer compartment.
• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the food has
thawed out it should be eaten within 24 hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.
• After defrosting has nished clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm
water with a little bicarbonate of soda and then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts
in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance to the mains supply and
leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting « 5 » position before introducing the food back into the
freezer.
TRANSPORTATION AND CHANGING OF
INSTALLATION POSITION
PART 5.
Transportation and changing of Installation position
• The original packages and foamed polystyrene (PS) can be retained if required.
• During transportation, the appliance should be secured with a wide string or a strong
rope. The instructions written on the corrugated box must be followed while transporting.
• Before transporting or changing the installation position,
all the moving objects (ie, ice tray, scraper, drawers …)
should be taken out or xed with bands in order to prevent
them from getting damaged.
!Carry your freezer in the upright position.
GBR - 13 -

Tips for saving energy
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not
near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering drinks
and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.
4. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
5. Keep the covers of the di󰀨erent temperature compartments (crisper, chiller ...etc) closed
6. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
• The appliance is well levelled
• Nothing is touching the rear.
• The stu󰀨s on the appliance are vibrating.
