The control unit of the appliance is located on the front of the appliance. Check whether the thermostat (2) is set on OFF.
Check that the voltage in your home corresponds with the voltage printed on the back of the appliance and plug it in a socket.
Set the temperature with the thermostat (2) and choose a setting: 1-2-3-4.
We advise to set the appliance on setting 2. The appliance now cools continuously until the set temperature has been reached.
Do not place anything in the appliance until the set temperature is reached. This usually takes 2 or 3 hours. Then set the
thermostat at the desired setting and place food into the freezer.
Use the highest setting 4 only for making ice cubes or when you put new frozen products in the freezing compartment.
Set the appliance on a higher setting when the ambient air temperature rises to maintain the temperature inside the appliance.
To turn the appliance off, set the thermostat (2) to OFF.
Note:
The ambient air temperature, how often the door is opened and the position of the appliance can affect the internal
temperature. These factors must be taken into account when setting the thermostat.
• Do not put hot food into the appliance.
• Never introduce volatile, inflammable or explosive fluids such as alcohol, acetone or petrol because of the risk of
explosion.
• It is advisable to wrap meat and fish to avoid odours.
• The door should not be left open any longer than necessary.
• Do not freeze too large an amount of food at one time; the faster the food is frozen, the longer is preserves its qualities.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after purchase. Make sure that it doesn't defrost during
transport.
• Do not store glass bottles or containers with liquids in the freezer which will freeze. The freezing may cause the bottles to
break. Highly carbonated drinks can even explode. Never keep lemonade, fruit juice, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the
freezer.
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct sunlight
or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close
it as soon as possible.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher.
To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions
- Opening the door for long periods can cause a significatn increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
- Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
- Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
- Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making icecream and making ice cubes.
- One-, two- and three-start compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
