Setting up

The ambient temperature is an important factor for the operation of your appliance, from the point of view of the reaching of the inside temperatures with a minimum consumption of energy and for appraising its lifetime.

This appliance has been designed to work and to ensure the designed parameters (specified in the user manual and on the rating plate) in a range of ambient temperatures of up to 40 °C.

At temperatures which are lower or higher than the lower limit, respectively the upper limit, disturbances can occur in the good operation of the appliance.

The correct installment is essential to ensure the operation of the appliance at its maximum performances.

For this reason, we recommend to place the appliance in rooms, avoiding rain, moisture or other atmospheric factors.

The appliance must be installed far from any source of heat and fire. Installing it in a warm room, direct exposure to the sunbeams or placing the appliance near a source of heat (heaters, cookers, ovens), would increase its energy consumption and reduce its lifetime. Therefore, this appliance must be installed only in areas which allow a good circulation of the air and protection against the sunbeams.

• Please observe the following minimum distances:
• 100 cm from the cookers working with coal or oil;
• 150 cm from the electric and gas cookers.

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

Assemble on the condenser (in the rear side) the supplied spacers. (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 to the operation parameters of the appliance.

• The information concerning the supply voltage and the absorbed power is given on the marking label placed in the back side of the appliance.
• The electric installation must comply with the law 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 endowed 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 with the plug, please ask a specialised electrician to change it.
• Do not use extension cords or multiple adapters.

Switching off

Switching off must be possible by unplugging the appliance or by means of a two-pole mains switch placed before the socket.

Operation

Before putting into operation, clean the inside of the appliance (see chapter "Cleaning"). After finishing this operation, plug in the appliance and adjust the thermostat knob to an average position. The green and red LEDs in the signalling block must light up. Leave the appliance running for about 2 hours without putting food inside. If your appliance is provided with a signalling system, when it is connected to the electrical supply, the red and green LEDs will light up.

Freezer operation

Temperature adjustment

The temperature of the conservator is adjusted by means of the knob assembled on the thermostat (item 4), with the "MAX" position being 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 opening of the sliding lids, extent of loading with food. The position of the thermostat knob will change according to these factors. Normally, for an ambient temperature of approx. 40°C, the thermostat will be adjusted on an average position.

For the version with signalling system, it is placed on the front side of the appliance (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 button – fast freeze – by pushing it the orange LED goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode. The exit of this mode is done by pushing the button again, and the orange LED goes off.

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

Food conservation

The conservator with display is designed to keep the frozen food, as well as to display and sell frozen food.

• For the conservation of the food you can also use the basket of the appliance.
• Fizzy drinks should not be kept in the conservator.
• In case of an electricity breakdown, do not open the sliding glass lids.
• Frozen food will not be affected if the breakdown lasts less than 6 hours.

Energy saving mode

• Avoid placing the appliance in a sunny area or near a heat source.
• Provide good ventilation for the compressor and the condenser.
• Do not leave the sliding lids open longer than necessary and open them only when needed.
• Keep the condenser clean (the system of tubes at the rear of the appliance).

Defrosting of the appliance

● 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 opening the sliding lids.

• Defrost the appliance whenever needed, when the ice layer is excessively thick.
• We advise you to defrost the appliance when the quantity of frozen food is the least.

- Unplug the appliance.

- Take out the frozen food, wrap it in several sheets of paper and put it 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 that 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 quick defrosting, leave the sliding lids 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.

Outside cleaning

• Clean the outside of the appliance by means of a sponge soaked in soapy warm water, wipe with a soft cloth and dry.
• The cleaning of the outside part of the refrigerating circuit (motorcompressor, condenser, connection tubes) will be done with a soft brush or with the vacuum-cleaner. During this operation, please take care not to distort the tubes or detach the cables.

Do not use scouring or abrasive materials!

- After having finished the cleaning, replace the accessories at their places and plug in the appliance.
