Advice for recycling your old appliance

If your newly purchased appliance replaces an older one, you must consider a few aspects.

Old appliances are not valueless scrap. Their disposal, while preserving the environment, allows the recovery of important raw materials.

Make your old appliance useless:

• disconnect the appliance from the power supply;
• remove the supply cord (cut it);
• remove any locks on the door to avoid children being trapped inside while playing, and endangering their lives. Refrigerating appliances contain insulating materials and refrigerants that require proper recycling.

Original spare parts will be provided for 10 years, following the product purchasing date.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Packing Recycling

WARNING!

Do not allow children to play with the packing or with parts of it. There is the risk of suffocation with parts of corrugated cardboard and with plastic film.

In order to get to you in good condition, the appliance was protected with a suitable packing. All the materials of the packing are compatible with the environment and recyclable. Please help us recycle the packing while protecting the environment!

IMPORTANT!

Before putting the appliance in operation, read carefully and entirely these instructions. They contain important information concerning the setting up, use and maintenance of the appliance.

The manufacturer is free of any responsibility if the information in this document are not observed. Keep the instructions in a safe place in order to reach them easily in case of need. They can also be useful subsequently by another user.

ATTENTION!

This appliance must be used only for its intended purpose, (household use), in suitable areas, far from rain, moisture or other weather conditions.

Transport instructions

The appliance must be transported, as much as possible, only in vertical position. The packing must be in perfect condition during transport.

If during transport the appliance was put in horizontal position (only according to the markings on the packing), it is advised that, before putting it into operation, the appliance is left to rest for 4 hours in order to allow the settling of the refrigerating circuit.

The failure to observe these instructions can cause the breakdown of the motorcompressor and the cancellation of its warranty.

Warnings and general advice

• Do not plug in the appliance if you noticed a failure.
• The repairs must be done only by qualified personnel.
• In the following situations please unplug the appliance from the mains:
• when you defrost completely the appliance;
• when you clean the appliance.

To unplug the appliance, pull by the plug, not by the cable!

• Ensure the minimum space between the appliance and the wall against which it is placed.
• Do not climb on the appliance.
• Do not allow the children to play or hide inside the appliance.
• Never use electric appliances inside the freezer, for defrosting.

- Do not use the appliance near heating appliances, cookers or other sources of heat and fire.

- Do not leave the freezer door open more than it is necessary to put in or take out the food.

- Do not leave the food in the appliance if it is not working.

- Do not keep inside products containing flammable or explosive gases.

- Do not keep fizzy drinks (juice, mineral water, champagne, etc.) in the freezer: the bottle can explode! Do not freeze drinks in plastic bottles.

- Do not eat ice cubes or ice cream immediately after taking them out of the freezer because they may cause "freezer burns".

- Never touch cold metal parts or frozen food with wet hands because your hands can quickly freeze on the very cold surfaces.

- For the protection of the appliance during warehousing and transport, it is provided with spacers between the door and the cabinet (in the front and rear side). These spacers will be removed before putting the appliance into operation.

- Excess deposit of ice on the frame and the baskets should be removed regularly with the plastic scraper provided. Do not use any metal parts to remove the ice.

The presence of this ice build-up makes it impossible to close the door correctly.

- If you do not use your appliance for a few days, it is not advisable to switch it off. If you do not use it for a longer period, please proceed as follows:

• unplug the appliance;
• empty the freezer;
• defrost it and clean it;
• leave the door open to avoid the formation of unpleasant smells.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• If your appliance has a lock, keep it locked and store the key in a safe place, out of the reach of children. If you are discarding an appliance with a lock, make sure that it is made ineffective. This is very important so as to avoid children being trapped inside, which may cause their loss of life.

Setting up

This appliance was designed to operate at an ambient temperature between -15°C and +43°C. If the ambient temperature is above +43°C, the temperature inside the appliance can increase.

Set up the appliance far from any source of heat and fire. Placing it in a warm room, direct exposure to sunbeams, or near a heat source (heaters, cookers, ovens) will increase energy consumption and shorten the product's life.

- Please observe the following minimum distances:

• 100 cm from cookers working with coal or oil;
• 150 cm from electric and gas cookers.

- Ensure free circulation of air around the appliance by observing the distances shown in Item 2.

Assemble the supplied spacers on the condenser (at the rear). (Item 3).

- Place the appliance in a perfectly even, dry, and well-ventilated place.

Assemble the supplied accessories.

Electric connection

Your appliance is intended to operate at a single-phase voltage of 220-240V/50 Hz. Before plugging in the appliance, please make sure that the parameters of the mains in your house (voltage, current type, frequency) comply with the operation parameters of the appliance.

• The information concerning the supply voltage and the absorbed power is given on the marking label placed on the back side of the freezer.
• The electric installation must comply with legal requirements.
• The earthing of the appliance is compulsory. The manufacturer has no responsibility for any damage to persons, animals, or goods which may arise from the failure to observe the specified conditions.
• The appliance is equipped with a supply cord and a plug (European type, marked 10/16A) with double earthing contact for safety. If the socket is not the same type as the plug, please ask a specialised electrician to change it.

Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item 4). Position "MAX" corresponds to the lowest temperature.

The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 32°C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.

The signalling system is placed on the front side of the freezer (item 5).

It includes:

1. Thermostat adjustment knob – the inside temperature is adjusted.
2. Green LED – shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
3. Red LED – damage – lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 15-45 minutes after the putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED goes on during the operation, this means that defects have occurred.
4. Orange LED – fast freeze function activated – by setting the knob to Superfreeze position the orange LED goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode. The exit of this mode is done automatically after 50 hours then the appliance runs in economic mode, and the orange LED goes off.

The three LEDs give information about the mode of operation of the freezer.

Advice for food conservation

The freezer is intended to keep the frozen food for a long time, as well as to freeze fresh food.

One of the main elements for a successful food freezing is the packing.

The main conditions that the packing must fulfill are the following: to be airtight, to be inert towards the packed food, to resist low temperatures, to be proof against liquids, grease, water vapors, and smells, and to be washable.

These conditions are fulfilled by the following types of packings: plastic or aluminum film, plastic and aluminum vessels, waxed cardboard glasses, or plastic glasses.

IMPORTANT!

• For freezing fresh food, please use the supplied baskets of the appliance.
• Do not place too large a quantity of food in the freezer at a time. The quality of the food is best preserved if it is deeply frozen as quickly as possible. This is why it is advisable not to exceed the freezing capacity of the appliance specified in the "Product Fiche".
• The fresh food must not come into contact with the food already frozen.
• The frozen food you have bought can be placed into the freezer without having to adjust the thermostat.
• If the freezing date is not mentioned on the packing, please take into consideration a period of max. 3 months as a general guide.
• The food, even partially defrosted, cannot be frozen again; it must be consumed immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
• Fizzy drinks will not be kept in the freezer.
• In case of a power failure, do not open the door of the appliance. The frozen food will not be affected if the failure lasts less than 36 hours.

Defrosting of the appliance

• We advise you to defrost the freezer at least twice a year or when the ice layer has an excessive thickness. ● The ice build-up is a normal phenomenon.
• The quantity and the rapidity of ice build-up depend on the ambient conditions and on the frequency of the door opening.
• We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.
• Before defrosting, adjust the thermostat knob to a higher position so that the food stores more cold.

Unplug the appliance.

Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper and put them in the refrigerator or a cool place.

Take the separator panel and put it under the freezer in the direction of the dripping tube.

Take out the obstructing plug. The water which results will be collected in the special tray (separator panel). After the melting of the ice and the run-off of the water, wipe with a cloth or a sponge, then dry well. Put the obstruction plug back in its place. (Item 6)

For a fast thaw, please leave the door open.

Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice.

Do not use hairdryers or other electric heating appliances for defrosting.

Inside cleaning

Before starting the cleaning, unplug the appliance from the mains.

• It is advisable to clean the appliance when you defrost it.
• Wash the inside with lukewarm water where you add some neutral detergent. Do not use soap, detergent, gasoline or acetone which can leave a strong odour.
• Wipe with a wet sponge and dry with a soft cloth.

During this operation, avoid the excess of water, in order to prevent its entrance into the thermal insulation of the appliance, which would cause unpleasant odours.

Do not forget to clean also the door gasket, especially the bellow ribs, by means of a clean cloth.

Outside cleaning

• Clean the outside of the freezer with a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe with a soft cloth, and dry.
• Clean the external parts of the refrigeration circuit (motor-compressor, condenser, connection tubes) with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. During this operation, be careful not to distort the tubes or detach the cables.

Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!

After cleaning, replace the accessories in their places and plug in the appliance.

Replacing the interior light bulb

If the lamp burns out, disconnect the appliance from the mains. Remove the lamp trim. Make sure the lamp is screwed in correctly. Plug the appliance back in. If the lamp still does not turn on, replace it with another one of model E14-15W. Mount the lamp trim back in its place.
