Connection to the Mains Supply Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the mains supply socket with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated in the rating plate. The connection to the mains supply and earthing of the appliance have to be made according to valid standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage fluctuations but only in the tolerance of -15 to +10%. 38 Instructions for Use Operating the Appliance The freezer is controlled by two switches and thermostat knob. The switches are incorporated in the front or in the lid of the freezer. Temperature Selection When the freezer operates automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat. The thermostat is controlled by the thermostat knob which is built-in the lower right part of front or right side of the appliance. The knob is protected against accidental setting changes (children). You change the position of the thermostat knob by inserting for example a coin into the notch on the knob. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend medium setting. Use higher settings only when required or recommended. We recommend to set the thermostat on positions towards max (6) only in case when you want to have accelerated cooling before introducing a minor quantity of fresh foods or if you want to adapt the operation mode to the ambient temperature. Thermostat settings towards min (1) are suitable for energy saving mode provided that there is stored a small quantity of foods in the freezer.

ON/OFF Switch The switch is used for appliance switching on and off. When the appliance is switched on the green light is on. Interior Light (on some models only) The interior light is on when the freezer lid is opened. It is on even the appliance is switched off (green light off). NOTE: The appliance can be equipped with various accessories depending on the model of the appliance. 40 Instructions for Use Use Chest frezer is used for frezing fresh foods and storing frozen foods. Operation Modes By means of operation mode selection switch you select one of the two operation modes: continuous and automatic. Foils and bags should be soft to fit tight to the contents. Freezing containers should be tightly closed. The most important is that the food freeze in the shortest possible period. Therefore it is recommended that the packs are not too big and that food is cooled down before putting into the freezer. Continuous operation - the yellow light is on. The cooling systems operates continuously with accelerated power. This mode is selected when you want to freeze up bigger quantities of fresh foods and when you wish deeply freeze already frozen foods. 1. [. . . ] Before putting it into operation place it in warm room where it should rest for at least 2 hours. Frost Layer Defrosting When the frost layer is too thick to be scraped, it should be partially defrosted. Remove the tap (1) from front of the appliance. Insert the pipe (2) into the hole and place a receptacle under it in order to accumulate water resulting from frost layer. Remove the tap (3) from the bottom of the appliance. [. . . ]
