SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES
These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should
be read carefully before installing or using your freezer.
IMPORTANT
It is vital that these instructions are kept with the
freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to
another user, or if you move and leave the freezer
behind, you must ensure that the instructions
accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use
the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings.
This freezer is only intended for the freezing and
storage of food.
This freezer should only be operated by adults.
Children must not be allowed to tamper with the
control buttons or play with the freezer.
Changes in the electrical mains system in connection
with the installation of this freezer should always be
carried out by an authorised electrician or competent
person.
Do not under any circumstances attempt to repair the
freezer yourself. Repairs carried out by untrained
people may result in personal injury or serious
malfunction of the freezer.
Service of the freezer should be carried out by an
authorised service company, and only original spare
parts should be used. See under Guarantee
Conditions and Service.
It is dangerous to alter the freezer specifications, or
to change the freezer in any other way.
Make sure that the freezer is not placed on top of the
mains cable.
Do not re-freeze food once it has been defrosted.
Observe the recommendations for storage carefully.
See under Helpful Hints.
This freezer includes components that are heated
during operation. Consequently, adequate ventilation
must always be provided. If ventilation is insufficient
defects may occur, resulting in the loss of food. See
under Installation.
The inside of the freezer contains pipes through which
coolant flows. If these pipes are punctured the freezer
may be damaged beyond repair, and food may be lost.
Do not use sharp implements to remove frost or ice.
Frost can be removed using the enclosed scraper. Do
not knock ice off the sides of the freezer, but remove it
by defrosting the freezer. See under Maintenance.
Do not place drinks in the freezer. Bottles and cans
containing carbonic acid or sparkling drinks are
particularly prone to explosion, which may damage
the freezer.
This freezer is heavy. Take care when moving it.
If the freezer is fitted with a lock to prevent tampering
by children, the key must always be kept safely out of
the reach of children, and far away from the freezer.
Before disposing of an old freezer, make sure that the
lock (if present) no longer works. This is to prevent
accidents and avoid the danger of children getting
locked inside.
Ice lollies can cause frostbite if eaten direct from the
freezer.
Make sure that the power plug is not squashed or
damaged by the back of the fridge/freezer.
- damaged power plug 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 power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
certified service agent or qualified service personnel.
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
ENVIRONMENT:
When disposing 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 appliance for recycling. This will help reduce
the amount of CFC gas released into the atmosphere.
Help to keep your country tidy - when disposing of an old
appliance or a CFC free appliance use an authorised
disposal site.
INSTALLATION
POSITION (1)
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface,
resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or
similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in
the surface.
The room should be dry and adequately ventilated.
Temperatures of the external environment have an
impact on the energy consumption of the device.
Therefore:
-do not put the device to a place exposed to sunshine
ore besides a radiator or oven,
-put it to a place where the temperature of the
environment corresponds to the climatic
classification for which the device was designed.
Climatic classification Ambient temperature limits
SN from +10 to +32°C
N from +16 to +32°C
ST from +18 to +38°C
T from +18 to +43°C

13
GB
Do not place the freezer close to sources of heat,
radiators, chimneys, etc., and do not place the
freezer in direct sunlight.
If the freezer has been handled standing on end it
should be allowed to stand in normal position for
about 12 hours before switching it on.
Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it
is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a
breakdown.
SWITCHING ON (2)
Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned
inside. See under Maintenance.
Set the thermostat button in middle position. llow the
freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the
rating plate, located inside the lid.
Warning:
This appliance must be earthed.
this appliance complies with the following EC
Directives:
- 73/23/EEC of 19. 02. 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive
- 89/336/EEC of 03. 05. 1989 (including mendment
Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive.
Some of the models are not available in all countries.
Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO
5155 regarding the determination of freezer capacity,
energy consumption and hold-overtime.
Information for test institute: plan of the positioning of
test packages may be obtained directly from the
manufacturer.
HOW TO USE
TEMPERATURE CONTROL (3)
The thermostat ensures that the required
temperature is maintained in the freezer. djust the
temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the
groove. Turning the thermostat button towards no. M X
makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the
button towards no. 1 makes the temperature warmer. The
correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature
of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should
not have a temperature higher than 18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to
prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and
increasing the amount of frost formed.
When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer
becomes slightly warmer and expands.
s soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled
immediately.
This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it
hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed.
This is quite normal.
Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared,
then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle
violently.
THE ROLE OF THE PRESSURE
EQUALISATION VALVE (4)
The pressure equalisation valve installed in your
machine performs automatically the elimination of
the pressure difference which otherwise would make the
opening of the cover difficult or even impossible.
Its operation may - as the case may be - be heard due to
the air flowing in through the airing outlet arranged in the
rear wall of the deep freezer box.
For a safe operation, keep the two openings of the valve
free, do not cover them!
CONTROL PANEL (5)
The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer
is connected.
The yellow light is illuminated when the Super button is
depressed. See under Freezing.
The red light is illuminated when the temperature in the
freezer is higher than the thermostat setting (alarm).

defect in the system. See under If something does
not work.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer
is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the
freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection.
If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Press the square Super button (yellow light comes
on). The freezer will now run continuously, creating a
sufficient reserve of the temperature required.
Press the Super button 6-24 hours before placing
fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much
food is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave the Super
button on for about 24 hours more.
Then press the Super button again (yellow light
goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage
temperature. If you forget to press the Super button
again, the freezer will not be damaged by running at
the Super setting for some time - but energy will be
wasted.

14
GB
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no more than
room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent 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 top
edge.
See under Helpful hints.
CAPACITY (6)
The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data
plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if
you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate
is located inside the lid.
IMPORTANT
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 ( )
(Not a standard accessory for all models.) The lock works
as shown in the drawings. Remember to keep the key out
of the reach of children.
BASKETS (8)
The baskets are designed for the storage of food which
has already been frozen. The handles can be placed in
two positions, as shown in the drawings.
The baskets can either be placed inside the freezer or
hung on the edge of the casing.
HELPFUL HINTS (10)
STORAGE
Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the
freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the
top edge. Never exceed the maximum storage time for
purchased frozen food. When you buy frozen food, make
sure that it has been stored at the correct temperature. Do
not buy products which have wet or damaged packaging.
Place purchased products in your freezer as quickly as
possible. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring
such products home with you. Never place bottles, warm
objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer.
FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality. Cool hot
dishes to room temperature as quickly as possible
before placing them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully in
freezer foil, or use the special freezer boxes or bags which
are on the market. Divide food into small portions before
freezing - this ensures that freezing is more rapid, and
means that you only need to defrost the amount needed
for immediate consumption. Remember that defrosted
food must not be re-frozen. However, dishes which have
been made using defrosted food may be frozen. Mark the
freezer packaging with the date of freezing. We
recommend keeping 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 plate. If you wish
to freeze food several days in a row, the maximum freezing
capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third. s
far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If you
know nothing about home freezing, we recommend that
you purchase a book containing advice and guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at room
temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria
growth. It is best to defrost large portions of meat or poultry
in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to be
consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small
portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer.
good number of ready-to-cook dishes can also be cooked
without defrosting. lways observe the instructions on
product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a
moderate oven. Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid
defrosting of most frozen foods. Observe the instructions for
use of the microwave oven concerned.
ACCESSORIES
Spare baskets can be obtained from your local
Service Centre. The illustrations on this page
show how many baskets can be placed in the various
freezer models. Measure the length of your freezer and
find the appropriate illustration. The number above each
illustration indicates its length in millimetres.
MAINTENANCE
DEFROSTING (9)
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 opened when
necessary, and it should never be left open.
thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of
the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully
using the scraper provided.
IMPORTANT
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, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a
cold place.
The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one
or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer
and closing the lid. Open the lid after a while, and remove
the layer of ice carefully.
The defrost water can be collected in a bowl as shown in
the drawing.

15
GB
Do not try to speed up defrosting by using anything other
than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. fter
defrosting, clean the inside of the freezer.
IMPORTANT
Remember to replace the plug in the drip water drain.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the plug 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 supply is connected again.
Use a damp cloth to clean your freezer. Use hot water,
and a mild, non-aromatic cleaning agent.
fter cleaning the freezer, clean the basket/baskets
before replacing them.
IMPORTANT
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 soapy water. Do NOT
use abrasive products.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK
IF YOUR FREEZER DOES NOT
FUNCTION SATISFACTORILY
Check the following before calling for service staff:
If you are still unable to solve the problem, summon the
assistance of authorised service staff.
Do not take any other steps. Incorrect procedure may
cause personal injury or lead to additional defects.
It is quite normal for the freezer to seem warm on the
outside occasionally, owing to the heat generated by the
freezing process. This heat also helps to prevent the
formation of moisture on the outside of the appliance
which could cause rust.
If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the
compressor 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 period mentioned in the "Technical
Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated
time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an
unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods.
Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does
not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of
damage to the frozen food, providing you do not open the
lid during this period.
If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will
reduce the hold-over time.
fter the breakdown period 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 up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be re-frozen without
danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and
used up quickly.
