[. . . ] Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS. Before switching on, make sure that the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate, located inside the lid. WARNING: This appliance must be earthed. SWITCHING ON Before switching on, the freezer should be cleaned inside. Set the thermostat button in middle position. The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is connected. Allow the freezer to run for several hours before placing food inside. Green lamp Thermostat button 11 HOW TO USE TEMPERATURE CONTROL The thermostat ensures that the required temperature is maintained in the freezer. Turning the thermostat button towards no. 7 makes the temperature in the freezer colder, and turning the button towards no. The correct setting can be found by measuring the temperature of the top package in the middle of the freezer. This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C. PACKAGING AND POSITIONING Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room temperature). Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof packaging to prevent it from drying out. Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the frozen food already in the freezer. Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top edge. See under Helpful hints. CAPACITY The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated if you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate is located inside the lid. OPENING/CLOSING THE LID The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing strip to prevent moisture getting inside the freezer and increasing the amount of frost formed. When the lid is opened the air inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer and expands. As soon as the lid is closed again the air is cooled immediately. This may lead to the creation of a vacuum which makes it hard to open the lid immediately after it has been closed. Wait a few minutes until the vacuum has disappeared, then open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle violently. IMPORTANT The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to the full occasionally to freeze large amounts of fresh food. However, if the freezer is filled with large amounts of food for freezing every day, the capacity stated is reduced by about one-third. FREEZING CAPACITY FREEZING It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible. If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen: Turn the thermostat button to the coldest setting (7). [. . . ] After the breakdown period you are recommended to check the condition of food to ensure it has not started to thaw. Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has thawed out. The following guidelines should assist you. Should be refrigerated and used up quickly. [. . . ]
