Defrost water drain hole Overview of the appliance

• Unwrap the appliance. Remove all the labels from the product. Check that there is nothing missing and that everything is in good condition. If the appliance is damaged or not working properly, do not use it and return it to your dealer or their after-sales service.
• Keep all the packaging out of the reach of children. Accidents can occur as a result of children playing with packaging materials. The ambient temperatures in °C are given as a rough guide. The set positions can be affected by the location of the appliance in the room, how often the door is opened or the load of food inside. The thermostat may need to be changed to compensate for these factors. Examples of locations: - Unheated room in winter like a garage in a cold region. - Kitchen/lounge area with normal heating. - Room that is not air-conditioned in summer in a hot region.

Cleaning the interior Before using the appliance for the first time, wash the interior and all internal accessories with warm water and a neutral soap to remove the odour that is a feature of new products. Then, dry it thoroughly. 1 Recommended gaps around the product: 10 cm Back 10cm Above 70 cm Location The appliance should not be located near to sources of heat such as radiators, boilers, direct sunlight, etc. Make sure that air can flow freely around the back of the element. For better performance, there should be a gap of at least 100mm between the appliance and any overhanging wall-mounted units. Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned under wall units. The appliance can be correctly levelled by adjusting the feet at the base of the appliance. Do not use abrasive powders or detergents as they will damage the finish. Temperature setting

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply; The plug must be easily accessible after installation. Temperature setting Electrical connection Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the voltage and frequency indicated on the nameplate correspond to your domestic power supply. This appliance must be earthed. The plug on the power cable must have a prong for this earth connection. If the domestic power supply is not earthed, contact a qualified electrician to connect the appliance to a separate earth connection according to the statutory requirements for supplying electrical power. The manufacturer disclaims all liability if the aforementioned safety measures are not respected. The appliance is compliant with European directives. 2 Configuration: press the SET button to enter the temperature adjustment mode. The temperature indicator bar increases to the next level with each press of the button. Once you have cycled through all the levels, it returns to the minimum level. The temperature is set from the MIN level to the MAX level. The MAX level corresponds to the coldest temperature. The temperature is set automatically 5 seconds after the last press of the button.

• Super freeze: press the SET button several times consecutively from the MAX level to switch to SUPER freeze mode. The indicator bar on the left will turn off. The SUPER indicator light will switch on. This mode is set automatically 5 seconds after the last press of the button. The compressor switches to SUPER freeze mode.
• If the SUPER mode continues to run for 52 hours and it is not stopped manually, the system automatically exits this mode and returns to the NORMAL temperature level.

Useful advice Freezing fresh food

• The freezing compartment is used to freeze fresh food and to keep food frozen and deep-frozen for a long period of time.
• Place the fresh food that you wish to freeze in the lower compartment. Tips for freezing Here is some important advice for properly freezing food.
• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate.

• The maximum quantity of food that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the nameplate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. Additional food products should not be added during this period.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours: do not add any other food to be frozen during this period.

• You should only freeze fresh, perfectly clean, high-quality food products. Storing deep-frozen food
• When switching on the appliance for the first time or after a period of non-use. Before placing the product in the compartment, run the appliance for at least 2 hours at a high setting.

• Prepare small portions so that they can freeze through quickly; this give you the option of only defrosting the quantity that you need.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or place it in a polythene bag and make sure the packages are properly sealed.

WARNING :

Should the food thaw accidentally, e.g. if the power supply has been disconnected for a period longer than the value displayed in the "temperature holding time" section of the technical characteristics table, the defrosted food must be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then refrozen (after cooking). Defrosting Before using frozen or deep-frozen food, it can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small amounts or pieces of food can be cooked from frozen as soon as they are taken out of the freezer. In this case, they will take longer to cook.

• To avoid increasing the temperature of frozen products, do not allow fresh food to come into contact with food which is already frozen.
• Food, which is low in fat, and lean meat keeps better and for longer periods than fatty foods. Salt reduces the storage time of food.
• Water turns to ice. If consumed immediately after being removed from the freezer compartment, there is a risk of cold burns to the skin.
• It is advisable to mark each individual package with the freezing date so that you can keep track of the storage time.

Cleaning and maintenance Advice for storage of frozen food For reasons of hygiene, the interior of the appliance, including the interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly. To optimise the performance of this appliance:

• make sure that the deep-frozen product has been stored appropriately by the seller;
• be sure that the frozen product was transferred from the store to the freezer within the shortest possible period of time;
• Do not open the door too often and do not leave it open for longer than necessary.

WARNING:

Essential oils and organic solvents can damage plastics, e.g. lemon juice or juice from the zest of oranges, butyric acid or any cleaning products containing acetic acid.

• Defrosted food products quickly deteriorate and should not be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period specified by the food manufacturer.

• Do not allow these substances to come into contact with appliance parts.

WARNING :

The appliance must not be plugged into the socket during cleaning. Electrocution hazard! Before cleaning, switch off the appliance and unplug it, or switch off the circuit breaker or fuse. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Humidity could build up in the electronic components creating an electrocution hazard! Warm vapours can cause damage to plastic parts. The appliance must be dry before you switch it back on.

Defrosting the freezer

• Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Remove the food from the freezer. Keep it covered in a cool place.
• Switch off the appliance and unplug it, or switch off the circuit breaker or fuse.
• Clean the appliance and interior accessories using a cloth and lukewarm water. After washing, rinse with fresh water and wipe down until completely dry.
• The dust that builds up on the condenser increases energy consumption. That's why it's important to carefully clean the condenser on the back of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. 1)

• The freezer will gradually get covered with ice. The ice must be removed. Never use pointed metallic tools to scratch the ice off the evaporator as you could damage it. When the ice becomes very thick on the inner lining, it must be fully defrosted:
• Unplug it from the power supply. Remove the drain plug inside the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. For faster defrosting, keep the freezer door open. 3 For draining, place a container under the exterior drain plug. Pull out the drain knob. 4 Turn the drain knob through 180°. This will make the water drain into the container. When defrosting is finished, push the drain knob. Replace the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. Keep an eye on the container used to collect the drain water so that it doesn't overflow.
• Wipe down the inside of the freezer and plug it back in.
• Reposition the temperature control on the function required.

• Once all the parts are dry, restart the appliance.
