To this end, individual packaging materials are clearly marked. · These instructions are printed either on recycled paper or chlorine free bleached paper. [. . . ] Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connection to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage tolerance up to -6 to +6 %. Adjusting the height of the appliance The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs, so that the height may be adjusted from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior building the appliance into the opening slot, and it should be set at such height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop (see Mounting Instructions). 10 Instructions for Use Description of the Appliance Freezing Compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Control Panel (3) See Operation Controls Storing Basket (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods. Operation Control The freezer is controlled with switches and thermostat button, incorporated in the bottom section of the appliance. Continued operation button (2) This switch is used to select one of the two operation modes: continuous and automatic. Control panel Continuous operation - the yellow light is on. The cooling system operates continuously. This mode is selected when you want to freeze large amounts of fresh foods and in case you want to deep freeze already frozen foods. Automatic operation - the yellow light is off. 1 ON/OFF switch (green signal lamp) 2 Continued operation button (yellow signal lamp) 3 Alarm off button (red signal lamp) The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat which turns the cooling system on and off. The frequency of switching the cooling system on and off depends on: - the thermostat knob position (thermostat setting), - how often you open the door; and - ambient temperature. ON/OFF Switch (1) The appliance is switched on - the green light is on. The appliance is switched off - the green light is off. Instructions for Use 11 Alarm off button and the red signal lamp (3) The sound of the alarm is switched off by pressing the Alarm Off button. The alarm goes off because of high temperature inside the freezer (red signal lamp is on), or because of the excessive dust collected at the condenser (red signal lamp is off). Consult the Section Troubleshooting Guide Thermostat settings towards min (1) help you save energy provided that the freezer is loaded with smaller amount of frozen foods. Changes of the ambient temperature affects temperature in the interior of the appliance. Choose correct setting of the thermostat knob. Temperature Selection When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat. The most suitable thermostat position is in the middle between max (7) and min (1). We recommend setting the thermostat on positions towards max (7) only in case you want to accelerate cooling, as for example before loading smaller amounts of fresh foods or when the operation mode shall correspond to the ambient temperature. Use Starting the empty freezer Switch the freezer on. Sound alarm is on because of inappropriate temperature. It may be switched off by pressing the alarm button . Put the mode selection switch to the continuous operation position. Place fresh food into the freezer several hours after the red signal lamp goes off. Proper freezing procedure Freeze the food in the freezing compartment (see Section Description of the Appliance) · 24 hours prior freezing of fresh food switch the continued operation button (2) to the uninterrupted operation (yellow lamp is on). At the end of this period load fresh food into the freezing compartment. · After 24 hours move the frozen food to the storage compartment of the freezer and repeat the freezing procedure with new load if required. Fresh food should not touch the already frozen packages. · Approximately 24 hours after the last loading of fresh food press the continued operation button again (2) and switch to the automatic operation (yellow signal lamp is off). · In case of freezing minor quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg), it is not necessary to switch the appliance to the continued operation mode (2). Freezing Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foodstuffs. [. . . ] The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is cooling, the underpressure seals the door. After few minutes (5-10), the door can easily be opened. Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with compressor, which produces noise. How noisy the appliance is depends on where it is placed, how it is used and how old the appliance is. · During the operation of the compressor the noise of liquid is heard and when the compressor is not operating, the refrigerant flow is heard.
