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. Allow 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.
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 Amendment
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: A 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. Adjust the
temperature by turning the button with a coin that fits the
groove. Turning the thermostat button towards MAX
makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the
button towards min 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.
As 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.
CONTROL PANEL (4)
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).

2. Green light
3. Red light
4. Yellow light
5. SUPER
The red alarm light can be due to:
Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The red
alarm light will go out after a while.
Opening the lid too long. The red alarm light will go
out after a while.
A 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.
HOW TO USE
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 (5)
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
