This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance. Door reversal directions 1. [. . . ] When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to «S» 24 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (D) lights up). If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before freezing fresh food. E. Alarm light If the alarm light (E) lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where the safe food storage is no longer ensured. When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food. Rear spacers The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance. Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in the diagram. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place. Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer. Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary. Warning Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc. ), in the freezer compartment. Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in a low temperature skin burn. Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer burns".

Normal Operating Sounds · You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
