Setup and Installation

Placement

Place the freezer on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (like ovens or radiators), and areas with high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the appliance. The 'zero déport' feature allows for installation flush against a wall.

Leveling

Use the adjustable front feet to level the appliance. Proper leveling ensures efficient operation and prevents vibrations.

Door Reversal

The door of the UI6F2TWFR is reversible, allowing you to change the opening direction to suit your kitchen layout. Refer to the detailed diagrams in the separate installation guide for specific instructions on reversing the door.

Initial Power-On

After installation, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging the appliance into the power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Once plugged in, the freezer will begin to cool. Allow it to run for several hours before loading with food.

Operating Instructions

Temperature Control

The freezer is equipped with a front display panel. Use this panel to adjust the temperature settings and activate special functions. Refer to the display icons for current temperature and active modes.

No Frost Technology

The No Frost system circulates cold air throughout the freezer compartment, preventing the formation of ice and frost on food items and interior surfaces. This means manual defrosting is not required.

Quick Freeze Function

Activate the Quick Freeze function via the front display panel when adding a large quantity of fresh food to the freezer. This rapidly lowers the temperature to quickly freeze new items, preserving their quality. The function will automatically deactivate after a set period or can be manually turned off.

Food Storage Tips

• Always store food in airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn and odor transfer.
• Label and date all frozen items for easy identification and to ensure consumption within recommended storage times.
• Avoid overloading drawers to allow for proper air circulation.
• Distribute new items evenly to prevent temperature fluctuations.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Interior

Clean the interior of the freezer regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Cleaning the Exterior

Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild detergent. For stainless steel finishes, use a specialized cleaner and wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners.

No Defrosting Required

Thanks to the No Frost technology, manual defrosting of the freezer compartment is not necessary. Any small amounts of frost that may appear will be automatically removed by the system.

Troubleshooting

• Freezer not cooling: Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify the temperature setting is appropriate.
• Excessive noise: Ensure the freezer is level using the adjustable feet. Check if any items inside are vibrating against the walls or other items.
• Door not closing properly: Check for obstructions preventing the door from closing fully. Ensure door seals are clean and intact.
• Temperature too high: Avoid opening the door too frequently or for extended periods. Ensure the freezer is not overloaded. Check the ambient room temperature is within the recommended range.
