Safety Instructions

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent personal injury or damage to the appliance:

• Ensure the appliance is properly grounded before connecting to power.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit. If damage occurs, avoid open flames and ventilate the room.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Unplug the appliance before cleaning or performing maintenance.

Setup

1. Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any transport damage. Report any damage immediately to your supplier.

2. Placement

Place the freezer on a firm, level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (e.g., radiators, ovens), and areas of high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. Maintain a minimum clearance of 5 cm from walls and other appliances.

3. Electrical Connection

Connect the appliance to a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. The voltage (2.3E+2 VAC) must match the rating on the appliance's data plate. Do not use extension cords or multiple socket adapters.

4. Door Reversal

The door hinge is reversible. If you wish to change the door opening direction, refer to the detailed instructions provided in the separate door reversal kit or consult a qualified technician. This process typically involves relocating hinges and handles.

Operating

1. Initial Start-up and Temperature Control

After connecting the appliance, allow it to stand for at least 4 hours before switching it on. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Switch on the freezer using the power button. Set the desired temperature using the control panel. The recommended temperature for freezing is -18°C (0°F).

2. Storage Guidelines

Organize food items in the drawers to allow for proper air circulation. Avoid overloading drawers. For optimal freezing, place fresh food in the top drawers or designated fast-freeze compartment if available. Label and date all frozen items.

3. Freezing Fresh Food

To freeze fresh food, activate the SuperFrost function (if available) approximately 24 hours before placing the food in the freezer. This rapidly lowers the temperature, preserving vitamins and flavor. Once the food is frozen, the function will automatically switch off.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

Regularly clean the interior and exterior of the freezer. Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning solution. Do not use steam cleaners or abrasive agents. Dry all surfaces thoroughly.

2. Defrosting

This freezer features NoFrost technology, which prevents the formation of ice and frost, eliminating the need for manual defrosting. However, it is still recommended to periodically clean the interior and ensure air vents are clear.

3. Care of Door Seals

Inspect the door seals regularly for cleanliness and damage. Clean them with warm water and a mild detergent. A clean, intact seal ensures efficient operation and prevents cold air loss.
