• If you want to freeze large quantities of food at once
  If you want to freeze food quickly

• If you want to store seasonal vegetables properly for a longer period of time

• Press the adjusting knob until the indicator light for superfreeze lights up. The light will remain on as long as superfreeze remains active.

• In order to make optimum use of the superfreeze setting, you must activate it 24 hours before placing the fresh food in the freezer.
• You can deactivate superfreeze by pressing the adjusting knob once more.

superfreeze is deactivated automatically after 24 hours or when the thermostat sensor gets below -32^

FORA+APPLIANCES

The freezer compartment, indicated by means of the **** symbol, is used to store frozen food and freeze fresh or prepared food. It also provides the possibility of making ice cubes.

Attention:

The ambient temperature, the temperature of the recently stored food and the frequency by means of which the door is opened, have an effect on the temperature in the freezer. Take this into account when setting the thermostat.

• superfreeze is deactivated automatically after 24 hours or when the thermostat sensor gets below -32^ .
• You should never place hazardous, highly flammable or explosive substances such as alcohol, acetone or petrol in the freezer, because there will be a hazard of explosion.
• A 5 minute delay function is used to prevent damage to the freezer's compressor when you remove the plug and insert it in the socket again to switch on the freezer or during a power interruption. Your freezer starts working normally after 5 minutes.

ACCESSORY

Ice cube mould

• Fill the ice cube mould with water and place it in the freezer section.
• Once the water is fully frozen, you can bend the mould as shown below in order to remove the ice cubes.

5 placing food in the appliance

The freezer offers you the possibility to store deep-frozen products, freeze fresh foods and make ice cubes.

• Do not freeze too much at once. The quicker the freezing process, the longer the quality of the food is maintained.
• Ensure that the foods are properly packaged, so that flavour is maintained and no odour is given off to other foods.
• Place the deep-freeze products in the freezer compartment as quickly as possible after purchase. Make sure they do not defrost during transport.
  Storage of freshly frozen and deep-freeze products depends on the type of food.
• Properly package fresh foodstuffs and properly close the packaging. The packaging must be air-tight and should not leak. Special freezer bags, aluminium film (double packaging in case of doubt) or freezer containers are ideal.
• Write packaging date and contents on the packaging if you want to freeze leftovers.
• Do not place hot food in the freezer.
• Do not place glass bottles or cans in the freezer compartment. These can break when the contents freeze. Carbonated drinks could even explode. Therefore never store lemonade, beer, wine, champagne, etc. in the freezer compartment.
  Once the foods have defrosted, they should never be frozen again. Cook or bake them before you can freeze them again.
• In the case of a power interruption or breakdown, the freezer section will retain a temperature that is low enough to store the foods. But try not to open the door of the freezer section too often, so that the temperature does not rise.
  Try not to open the door too often and do not leave the door open for any longer than necessary.
  The use-by date and recommended temperature for storing deep-freeze products are stated on the packaging. Observe the storage instructions on the packaging. If it does not contain any information, you should never store the food for longer than three months.

6 cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning the freezer, switch off the appliance, remove the plug from the socket.

Clean the inside of the freezer. Use warm soapy water with, for instance, washing-up liquid, all-purpose cleaner or soda in order to prevent nasty smells. Wipe the inside of the freezer after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The drawers can be removed from the freezer easily and washed by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Clean the outside of the freezer and the door rubbers with a soft damp cloth.

Clean the rear of the freezer at least one per year with a vacuum cleaner, so that the condenser and ventilation holes remain clean and the freezer is able to function as optimal as possible.

DEFROSTING THE FREEZER SECTION

The freezer section of this appliance is free from frost - no-frost. If used correctly, no ice will be formed.

Dry and cold air is evenly distributed in the freezer and freezer compartments by means of the fan. Cold air distributed between the shelves will evenly cool all your food, as a result of which humidity and frost are prevented.

That is why your no-frost freezer offers ease of use, in addition to the huge capacity and stylish appearance.

If an ice layer is created after all, defrost the freezer section when the ice layer has reached a thickness of 3 mm. Remove all products from the freezer section. Store the frozen products on a cool location, packaged in newspapers and blankets. Remove the plug from the socket and keep the door of the cooler section closed while defrosting the freezer section.

Defrost the freezer section Defrosting can be accelerated by placing a tray with hot water in the freezer section. Do not use sharp metal objects to scrape the freezer section clean, use a plastic ice scraper.

Clean and dry the freezer section. Insert the plug in the socket and set the thermostat to the required setting. Place the frozen products back in the freezer section once it has reached the required temperature.

Warning Never remove ice with sharp objects, defrosting sprays, a hair dryer, a heater or something similar. This could lead to unsafe situations and cause irreparable damage to the appliance.

TIPS

• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat sources near the freezer also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a high energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around the freezer, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the freezer is possible.
• Do not open the door of the freezer more often than necessary and leave the door open as short as possible.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the power consumption.
• The condenser at the rear of the freezer must always be kept clean and free from dust.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher power consumption.
• If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays), switch off the freezer by removing the plug from the socket. Defrost and clean the freezer. Leave the doors slightly open to prevent moulds and smells.

7 troubleshooting

If your freezer does not work properly, this can be caused by a minor problem. First check the following items before contacting an electrician. This will save you time and money.

Problem Cause Solution
Appliance does not do anything	- Plug not in socket - Power interruption - Thermostat is set to •	- Insert the plug in the socket - Check the fuse box - Set the thermostat to setting 1 to 5
Temperature in the freezer is too high or too low	Incorrect thermostat setting Set the thermostat to the correct setting
	Ventilation holes are blocked Clean the ventilation holes
Appliance makes noise Is the appliance properly installed? Check the installation - is the freezer level?
			Does the rear of the freezer make contact with something?	Check this and move the freezer forward
The ALARM indicator light lights up.	The plug is inserted in the socket for the first time or there has been a power interruption of at least one hour.	Check that the door of the appliance is properly closed and check that the appliance has been on for more than one hour. If this is not the case, contact customer service.
	A component is defective or there is a breakdown in the cooling process.	Contact customer service.

Note: During normal use of the cooling appliance, different types of noises can occur that do not have any effect on the correct operation of the appliance.

Noises that can be heard during normal use of the appliance are caused by the operation of the thermostat, compressor (activation), cooling system (shrinkage and expansion of the material under the influence of temperature differences and flow of cooling liquid).
