INSTRUKCJE TRANSPORTOWE

INSTRUKCJA MONTAŻU

● The appliance should be transported only in an upright position. The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation
- If during the course of transport the appliance has to be transported horizontally, it must only be laid on its left hand side when standing in the front of the appliance. After bringing it to upright position, it must not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to settle
● The appliance must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.
● Care must be taken while cleaning or carrying the appliance not to touch the bottom of the condenser metal wires at the back of the appliance, as this could cause injury to fingers and hands or damage the appliance
- Do not position the appliance on top of another. Do not attempt to sit or stand on top of the appliance as it is not designed for such use. You could injure yourself or damage the appliance.
● Make sure that the mains cable is not caught under the appliance during and after moving, as this could damage the cable
- When positioning your appliance take care not to damage your flooring, pipes, wall coverings etc.
- Do not move the appliance by pulling by the lid, door or handle.
- Do not allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with the controls.
● Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage to the appliance. The manufacturer declines to accept any liability should the transportation instructions not be followed.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

- If possible, avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct sunlight as this will cause your appliance to work harder. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances:

From cookers 100 mm (4")
From radiators 300 mm (12")
From refrigerators 100 mm (4")

● Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free air circulation. Ideally, no less than 10 cm should be left around the sides and at the back, make sure clearances are maintained as shown the diagram below.

● The appliance should be placed on a flat, firm surface.
● The appliance must not be used outdoors. ● Protect the appliance from moisture. Do not place the appliance in damp rooms in order to protect metal parts from corrosion. Do not spray water into the appliance, since it will cause insulation deterioration and ground fault
● Refer to cleaning and care section to prepare your appliance for use
- If the appliance is placed in an unheated room (e.g. in the garage), in cold weather water droplets may form on external surfaces. This is quite normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Wipe the condensed water vapor with a dry cloth.
- Place the appliance in the designated location and do not connect it to the mains for a minimum of 1h.

CLEANING AND CARE

• We recommend that you switch off the appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning
  ● Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning
• Use lukewarm water to clean the compartment of the appliance and wipe it dry.
• Clean the interior using a damp cloth with a solution of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water. Wring it out, clean the interior and wipe it dry.
• Remove excessive ice formation regularly using a plastic scraper available in hardware stores. A large amount of accumulated ice will cause the freezer to operate less efficiently.
• If the appliance is not going to be used for a long period of time, switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar
• Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
• Never wash the compressor with water – just wipe it thoroughly with a dry cloth after cleaning the freezer to prevent the formation of rust
  ● This appliance is intended for domestic household use only. Warranty does not cover commercial use.
• If the mains lead is damaged, you must have it replaced by the manufacturer, an authorized service centre or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard

DO'S AND DON'TS

• Defrost food from the freezer thoroughly in a fridge or in a microwave oven following defrosting and cooking instructions. Ensure that the freezer lid/door is completely closed after each use
  ● Frozen food must be completely thawed before cooking
• Close the lid/door gently

• Check contents of the freezer at regular intervals

• Clean and defrost your appliance regularly (See "Defrosting").

• Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before" and "Use by" etc. dates
  ● Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packets.

  ● Wrap frozen food immediately after purchasing and put it in to the freezer as soon as possible
• Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving.
• Don't leave the door open for long periods, as this will make the appliance more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation
• Don't use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove excess ice
• Don't put hot food into the appliance. Let it cool down first
• Don't put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer, as they may burst.

OPERATION

Start-up and temperature control

• Place the appliance in its designated location and allow to stand for a minimum of 1 hour before it is switched on
  ● Turn the thermostat knob to position 7. Food can be placed in the compartment only after freezer thermostat has operated in position 7 for 4 hours
• The temperature in the appliance is controlled by the temperature control knob. Settings below represent the average temperature inside the appliance as follows (if ambient temperature = 22°C)

0 – the compressor shut off, no freezing
1 - 6 - temperature within the range of -12^ < > -30^
7 - temperature inside the compartment = -30°C, continuous compressor operation

- The achieved temperatures may vary according to certain conditions of use such as: placement of the freezer, ambient temperature, frequency of lid being opened and closed and the extent to which the freezer is filled with food. Depending on these factors, the temperature knob position will vary. Typically, with the ambient temperature of approximately 22°C, the temperature knob should be set to the middle setting

Defrosting

• Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of approximately 7 mm (1/4") has formed
  ● Alternatively you may switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug
• 6 hours before the defrosting, please set the thermostat knob at „MAX" position to make sure the food is at the lowest temperature when you get it out. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
• Remove the freezer basket and leave the lid open. Containers of warm water may be placed in the freezer to speed up the defrosting.
  ● Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting
• When defrosting has finished drain the water in the bottom of the freezer as illustrated below, then wipe dry thoroughly. Switch fast freeze on, (Fast Freeze – the orange switch) and leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours.
• Don't use sharp edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the ice

    A["Step ①: Rotation arrow"] --> B["Step ②: Rotation arrow"]
    B --> C["Step ③: Rotation arrow"]
    C --> D["Step ④: Rotation arrow"]

• Extract the rubber cover from the water conduit inside the freezer (1) (NOTE: PLEASE KEEP THE RUBBER COVER SAFE DURING THE DEFROSTING AND PUT IT BACK AFTER THE DEFROSTING IS COMPLETE)
• Extract the water conduit outside the freezer and put in a water container. Extract the water conduit by 20-25mm until the water hole can be seen.
  ● Twist the water conduit until the arrow points downward
  ● After defrosting is done, make sure there is no more water coming out before replacing the cap and position the arrow points upward.
