Congratulations on purchasing your new
freezer!
Please note that this user manual applies to all CARAVELL
freezers. The illustrations and equipment will therefore not
necessarily
correspond completely to your model.
1 Set-up
Ensure that the freezer is not damaged upon receipt. Transport
damage must be reported to your dealer no later than 24 hours
after delivery.
The freezer should be taken into a dry room at normal room
temperature with adequate air circulation. Position the freezer so
that there is unrestricted air circulation around the freezer, i.e., so
that there is a gap of at least 40 mm on all sides.
Never place the freezer in direct sunlight. The freezer should be
set up on a level surface and should stand with free circulation
around it.
If the freezer has been stored or transported cold, do not attempt
to start it until the compressor has reached a temperature of at
least +5°C. Before the freezer is started, washing is
recommended. (See Section 6 Maintenance).
If the freezer on the machine sign is marked Class 04, it should not
be set up in an ambient temperature higher than +30°C.
If the freeezer is marked Class 4+, it can handle an ambient
temperature of up to +35°C.
If it is marked Class 05, it can handle an ambient temperature of
up to +40°C.
For freezers with sliding glass tops it is very important that these
should be facing in the right direction in order for the covering on
the underside of the glass to ensure optimum insulation. The top
must always be placed so that the text in the corner of the glass
can be read and is not reversed.

2 Electrical connection

The appliance complies with EU requirements for radio noise
suppression in accordance with Directive 82/499/EEC.
The freezer should be connected to a socket rated at the correct
voltage and frequency. This is specified on the manufacturer's
plate on the back of the freezer. The normal voltage for Europe is
230V/50Hz. Voltage variations of +/- 10% are acceptable. Larger
variations can damage the freezer and in such cases the factory
guarantee will be void. Your local dealer will be able to assist with
information on extreme over/undervoltage variations.
This freezer must be given additional protection in accordance with
the applicable power regulations. This also applies even in the
case of a replacement of an existing freezer that has not been had
additional protection. The purpose of the additional protection is to
protect users from dangerous electrical shocks in case of defects.
In homes built after 1 April 1975, all sockets in kitchens and any
utility rooms will comply with additional protection.
In homes built before 1 April 1975 the additional protection is in
order if a high-sensitivity earth fault circuit breaker has been
installed, which protects the socket to which the freezer is
connected.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, service agent or similarly qualified person in order to
avoid any hazard.
In other situations, the user should let an authorised electrician
check to see how you best can protect your freezer. The Electricity
Council recommends that extra protection is provided with a high-
sensitivity earth fault circuit breaker.
3 Operation
The temperature in the freezer is automatically controlled by the
adjustable thermostat.
The thermostat is preset at the factory so that the temperature in
the warmest area of the freezer does not exceed -18°C.
The location of the freezer, the ambient temperature and the
number and length of openings greatly influence the temperature
inside the freezer. The freezer must therefore not be placed in
direct sunlight or up against heat-generating surfaces. See Fig.
If your freezer is fitted with locks, the keys to the freezer should be
kept out of the reach of children. If your new freezer is replacing a
worn-out freezer of an older type, you should dismantle the locking
mechanism on the old freezer.
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
Children being supervised not to play with the appliance.
4 Storing food
The freezer is only intended as a conservator and is therefore not
suited for the freezing of food. In other words, only products that
are already frozen should be placed in the freezer.
Note that the freezer should only be loaded up to the load line or if
such a line is not included up to 100 mm under the lower cover.
This is to ensure a product temperature of at least -18 C.
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with
flammable propellant in this appliance.
5 De-icing the cabinet
Ice formation in the freezer over time is a natural process, but when
the ice reaches a thickness of approx. 5-8 mm, the cabinet should
be de-iced.
Place the products from the freezer in a cold place or pack
•
them in insulating material.
The freezer should be switched off at the socket.
•
Keep the cover open or remove the sliding covers and
•
place them carefully on the floor.
• Loosen the ice layer using plastic or wooden implements
never use metal implements).
