Directions for use

In the following, you will find all the important

information for the use of your appliance.

The instructions for use apply to several models, which

is why details of the information may differ according to

the type of the appliance.

1 Installation (Choice of position for installation)

Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct

sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a

cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate

vicinity of a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly

inappropriate (increased compressor performance

would be necessary and, as a result, power

consumption would be considerably higher).

If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided,

a suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the

appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or

the following minimum distances must be observed:



from gas or electric cooker

3 cm



from radiator or oven

5 cm



from a wall, piece of furniture or

another appliance

2 cm

Never obstruct the ventilation grille

Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation

grille (F) located below on one side. These appliances

can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of

furniture but not with the side protected with the

ventilation grille.

Freezers without ventilation grille

Leave sufficient space between the rear of the

appliance and the wall to ensure that outward flow of

warm air is able to escape.

The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a

levelled base. Only this way can an impeded circuit of

the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.

IMPORTANT!

Leave the appliance stand in the final position for

at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the

refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating

problems occur.

The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy

to remove.

Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a

mixture of

lukewarm water and vinegar

.

Do not use washing liquids, sharp or granular

cleaning implements, or any cleaning products

containing soda.

Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the

inner area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry.

Danger warning

Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily

inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically

sealed and the

density

has been subject to repeated

tests.

An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.

Instruction for use

Omit any mechanical influence on the cooling system,

especially on the following accessible parts in the

compressor chamber

(L)

:



Rear wall condenser or skin condenser (R)



Compressor (P)

(motor)



Capillary tube (Q)



Drying filter (N)

Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out

by professional and authorised personnel only.

IMPORTANT!

Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes.

In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash

your eyes instantly under plenty of running water and

call/consult an eye specialist immediately.

2 Rating plate

The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the

housing (D) at the rear of the appliance.

Take a note of the technical data

Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so

that it is at any time readily available, without having to

move the appliance

Model/Type …………….…………………………

Net capacity ………………….……………litres

Operating voltage ………………….……...…...V-50Hz

Maximum absorbed power(W)..……………….Watt

Safety (A) ……………….....………………......Amp

Power consumption………………………….....kWh/24h

Freezing capacity…………………………….....kg/24h

3 Connection to power supply

Your appliance must be connected to a power socked

with grounded connection, which is conform to the

respective standards and has been installed by an

authorised specialist.

Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the

power socket, make absolutely sure that

the voltage (V) on the appliance’s data-plate

corresponds with that of your mains.

If the voltage differs, notify the after-sales-service or

your dealer immediately, and do not on any account

connect the appliance to the mains.

4 temperature selection

(Thermostat) (FIG.4)

To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the

control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the

setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver.

To switch on:

Turn the control to the right

adjust temperature to the level you require, between:

-

Min.

(slight cooling) and

-

max

. (lowest temperature)

2

English

Temperature settings must be according to:

-

ambient temperature of the appliance

-

quantity of stored foodstuff

-

frequency of opening

We recommend a medium setting.

You will soon learn which is the most suitable setting for

your requirements.

5 Indicator-lights

(FIG.4)

If your appliance is equipped with indicator-lights, the

following guide explains what is meant by each light up:

-

green =

CONTROL

The appliance is under current

and

operating

The

green

control light

must always be on

when the

appliance is connected to the mains and switched on. It

is very important to pay attention to this, because in the

event of a power failure, the red and yellow lights stop

operating and do no longer provide a warning.

-

- red =

ALARM

Interior temperature too high

If the red indicator-light goes on, there may be several

reasons for this, namely:



First start-up of appliance



Restart after defrosting



Filling freezer with fresh food

In these cases it is normal that the red indicator-light

goes on. It goes off automatically when the interior

temperature reaches approximately –15°C.

Switch on the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (if equipped

with)

(FIG.4)

.

(switch off again not more than 24 hours

later or when the red light has gone off).

Reopen the appliance, if possible, only after the red

light has gone off.

If the red control light nevertheless stays on after 12 to

24 hours, there may be serious problems.

Consult the Troubleshooting guide “ what is when...”

chapter at the end of this operating manual.

-

yellow =

SUPER FREEZE SWITCH is on and the

thermostat function is disabled.

The compressor continues cooling until the SUPER

FREEZE switch is turned off again.

6 Warning Buzzer (Acoustic alarm)

If your appliance is supplied with a buzzer, it will sound

when the red indicator-light goes on. The buzzer is

silenced automatically when you turn on the SUPER

FREEZER SWITCH.

Instruction for use

7 Start-up

1. Fully unpack the appliance.

2. Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor

chamber (if supplied).

3. Remove documents and any accessories from the

inside of the appliance.

4. Clean the interior with a mixture of lukewarm water

and vinegar, and dry thoroughly with a cloth.

5. Close the appliance.

6. Insert the plug in the socket

7. Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature

control

(FIG.4)

to the right (For the time being, turn

the controller fully to the right to Max position).

(green and red lights go on).

8. If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH, turn

it on

(

yellow light goes on too).

9. Do not open the appliance any more for about 4

hours respectively as long as the red light is on, to

allow the temperature in the inner compartment to

drop to the necessary level.

10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of

deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods).

(Consult the following chapter “Maximum stacking

height”).

11. Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH again after

24 hours at the latest.

12. If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to

the following chapter “

Freezing/storage of fresh

food”.

Important!

Do not store any bottles containing liquids. Liquid

expands when frozen and the bottle can explode. Never

keep containers with explosive substances (gas

lighters, petrol, ether and the like) in the freezer

compartment of the appliance.

When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the

manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.

Deep frozen ice-cream and ice lollies must be eaten

only a few minutes after being taken from the appliance

to avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin

detachment). For the same reason, avoid touching

the inner walls with wet hands. We advise you to use

defrosted or slightly frozen products within short time.

As a rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.

8 Freezing / storage of fresh food

Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and

storage in the appliance.

For the most common of these products, we provide a

table with instructions on acceptable storage times and

the most suitable packing material (see

“storage table”

at the back of this user manual).

Label

the fresh products clearly as they are not easy to

identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags.

We advise you to use commercially available labels for

frozen foods.

Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your

household to prevent defrosting of quantities that are

too large for consumption in one day in your household.

3

English

Label the portions with at least the following

information:



Product name (e.g. beef fillet)



Weight of portion



Quantity (

total of pieces)



Freezing date



Use by date (

consumption date)

(

see “storage

table”)

Then continue as follows

a) We recommend you place fresh foods in the pre-

freezing compartment at the side

(I)

(not all models are

equipped) or on the bottom of the freezer. This is the

coldest part.

Avoid to put fresh foods directly in contact with deep

frozen food. Deep frozen food could defrost and may

not outlast the foreseen storage time.

b) Fill in within 24 hours, only the quantities of fresh

food that are suitable for the freezing capacity of

your appliance.

See information on the rating plate

(XX kg/24h)

.

c) If available, switch on the SUPER FREEZE

SWITCH

(FIG.4)

(not absolutely necessary when

filling in already frozen (e.g. deep-frozen food)

items.

d) After 24 hours, shift deep-frozen goods from the

freezer bottom or the pre-freeze shelf to a hung

basket

(K),

so that the pre-freeze shelf or freezer

bottom are available for freezing additional fresh

foods.

e) Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (yellow

light goes off).

f) Set the temperature control to one of the

appliance’s relevant filling capacities (

see

“Maximum stacking height”).

g) Keep the temperature in the storage shelf (E)

under control, preferably by placing a thermometer

with a scale range of up to –26°C.

The storage

temperature must always be at least -18°C.

Refilling of fresh food (not frozen)

Make sure that you refill fresh food, in quantities

adequate to the freezing capacity (XXkg/24h) earliest

24 hours after the previous filling.

(do not exceed maximum stacking height)

9 Maximum stacking height

To ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the

storage shelf

(E)

up to the edge. Always allow space

between the lid and the frozen foods.

Set the temperature control

(FIG.4)

strictly according to

the filling capacity.

To save energy when operating in normal ambient

temperature (+18 to + 22°C), we recommend the

following settings for the temperature control:

Capacity

Stacking mark Setting

pos.

Full upper 12,00 h

Half full medium 10.00 h

1/4 or less lower 08.00 h

Instruction for use

10 Storage time

The storage time for purchased deep-frozen products

varies and depends on the type of product and its

packaging. Therefore, strictly observe the producer’s

instructions on the packaging.

For fresh food that you like to deep freeze, consult the

storage table

at the back of this user manual.

After being defrosted, food must be consumed

immediately but latest within the next 24 hours.

11 Precautions and advice



Whenever cleaning or defrosting, remove the

power plug.



After closing the freezer lid, do not open it

immediately and do not force it open under any

circumstances. Any vacuum remaining on the



seal (B) is released after about 1 or 2 minutes, so

that the lid can be opened normally once again.



To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow

cooked food to cool down to ambient temperature

before closing the lid of the dish and before

storage.



Leave the freezer lid open as briefly as possible to

avoid waste of energy and to prevent an excessive

amount of ice forming in the appliance.



ice forming in the appliance.



If the red indicator-light goes on unexpectedly or

stays on for a long period, do not open the lid on

any account and take the appropriate measures

immediately (

see guide “what is when ....” at the

back of the this user manual)

.



Do not use a screwdriver or other metal objects to

remove the layer of ice. The interior walls are very

delicate and will not tolerate any sharp edges. Use

only plastic or wooden scrapers.

12 Cleaning and maintenance

For the upkeep of the external appearance of your

appliance, now and again clean with furniture polish or

other enamel protecting product (never, on any

account, use it in the inside. Clean the seal

(B)

with

warm water now and again without using any cleaning

product.

If your appliance has a condenser

(R)

in the rear inside,

from time to time remove dirt and dust. Dust and dirt

impede release of heat from the inner compartment and

considerably increases consumption of energy. For

best results, use a light brush or duster to remove dust

from the condenser on the rear wall.

If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended

period (e.g. when on holidays), leave it open to prevent

odours building up inside. For appliances with locks:

when the chest lid is open, always set the lock in

“closed” position and keep the key well away from small

children to prevent accidents.

When

ice and frost layers

form on the inner walls up

to a certain thickness, they act as an insulation element

and prevent the coldness being released from the inner

walls. They must be removed from time to time.

In order to receive immediate help, make sure you have

ready the following essential data to identify your

appliance:



Brand of appliance



Model / Type



Kind of trouble



Date of purchase



Purchased from whom?

17 Guarantee

Please note the general guarantee terms and the

guarantee period are stated in the attached guarantee

card.

If the appliance documentation does not include a

guarantee card, please contact your dealer.

18 What is when............

a) No function (appliance not running)

Attention!

In the event of problems or of a power failure, the

insulation of the appliance walls provides 10 to 12

hours storage time after the beginning of such failures.

Considerably more time is available in specially

insulated appliances. Ask your dealer what is the

suitable

“storage time after problems”

for your

appliance.

If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food

in the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore, take

prompt action to eliminate the problem and, if

necessary, shift frozen food into another appliance

(possibly neighbour).

b) Appliance not cooling sufficiently

Freezing process too long

Compressor operating too often

Possible causes/Remedies:



Did you have the appliance t stand for at least 2

hours before switching it on? (stabilise the

refrigerant flow-circuit). See

: “Start-up”.

If not: unplug when the chest is closed, lift the chest for

a brief moment and then put it back down to its original

position. After 2 hours put the plug back in. Do not open

the chest during this period and a further 12 hours

afterwards, i.e. until the red light goes off.



Is the plug in good condition and is it properly

plugged into the socket?



Is the socket under current?

(if necessary, test by connecting a small appliance such

as a hand-mixer, etc.).



The lid of the appliance does not close properly.

The seal does not firmly press.

Test: place a piece of writing paper between the seal

and the edge of the chest, and close the lid. It should

be difficult to pull out the paper from any side. If you

can pull out the paper without any resistance from one

ore more sides, notify your after-sales service centre.



Heavy ice formation on the inner walls.

(see “cleaning and maintenance”)

Instruction for use



The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is

installed near a heat source (oven, radiator, etc.)

Protect the appliance against direct sunlight; check the

distance to the heat source; place isolating (see “

Installation (Choice of position for installation”)



The filling of food does not correspond with the

excess freezing capacity of your appliance (see

rating plate: XXkg/24h), or you did fill in too warm

food

(see:

” Refilling of fresh food”

).

The manufacturer works constantly at the further

development of all products. Please therefore bear this

in mind as the form, set up and technology are subject

to change, without prior notice.
