[. . . ] Chest freezers ARCTIS 2686-4GT 3386-4GT Operating Instructions GB 820 41 71 88 Dear customer, Before placing your new chest freezer into operation please read these operating instructions carefully. They contain important information for safe use, for installation and for care of the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance. [. . . ] Important: If you operate the fast freeze switch or adjust the temperature control knob, it may happen that the refrigerating unit of your chest freezer does not start immediately. This is normal and not a fault with the appliance. 10 Interior Accessories Storage baskets To hang the storage baskets on the plastic cover frame, insert the handles into the storage baskets as shown in the diagram. When folding up (2), press the handles carefully towards the basket. To remove, press against the handle from the inside (1), fold the handle downwards (2) and remove (3). You can also place the storage baskets in the freezer and stack them. To do this, turn the baskets as shown in the diagram and place them on top of each other. The handles are not needed to do this. The role of the pressure equalisation valve The pressure equalisation valve installed in your machine performs automatically the elimination of the pressure difference which otherwise would make the opening of the cover difficult or even impossible. Its operation may - as the case may be - be heard due to the air flowing in through the airing outlet arranged in the rear wall of the deep freezer box. For a safe operation, keep the two openings of the valve free, do not cover them! 11 Switching the Appliance Off F F F F To switch off the appliance remove the plug from the power supply or disconnect from the electricity supply. The green power supply pilot light goes out. If the appliance is to be removed from service for a lengthy period: Remove the mains plug or disconnect from the electricity supply. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: Cleaning and Care). Then leave the lid open to avoid the build up odours. Maximum capacity / Stacking limit To be able to store larger quantities or bulky products for freezing you can remove all the storage baskets. The appliance will still function safely if used in this way. Do not stack the products higher than 5mm below the lower edge of the plastic frame. Freezing Tip: To freeze fresh foods use the small freezing compartment on the right of the dividing partition. This enables you to separate already frozen foods from fresh foods. Always make sure already frozen goods cannot defrost by coming into contact with fresh products. If the freezing compartment is too small you can freeze part of the products in the large storage section on the left of the dividing partition as long as it does not come into contact with previously frozen food. Before freezing food the temperature in the freezer must be -18 °C or colder. Please observe the indicated freezing capacity on the rating plate. The freezing capacity represents the maximum amount of fresh goods that can be frozen within 24 hours. [. . . ] Too large a quantity of warm products has been put in the freezer.
