[. . . ] 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 -15 to +10 %. · Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to the wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose function depending on the distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly and fix them to the appliance. 50 Instructions for Use Description of the Appliance Freezing Compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Storing Basket (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods. Control Panel (3) See Operation Controls · Both accumulators maintain uniform temperature of frozen foods therefore assuring higher quality of foods and reducing energy consumption. · If you remove the accumulators, the compartment can be used for freezing fruits (for example berries) or for ice making. · These accumulators can as well be used for maintaining lower temperatures of foods and bottles, for example when you make a trip or a picnic. Defrost Water Outlet (4) (See Cleaning and Maintenance). NOTE: · The appliance can be equipped with various accesories, depending on the model of the appliance. · Door handles have various shapes, depending on the model. Cold accumulators (5) (some models only) In the upper part of the freezing compartment there are two cold accumulators. Before switching on the freezer for the first time, remove the accumulators and insert them again after the red light is off. Instructions for Use 51 Operation Control The freezer is controlled with two switches and thermostat knob incorporated in the interior of the freezer. Control panel 1 ON/OFF button 2 Mode selection button 3 Sound alarm button, red light 4 Temperature selector 5 External thermometer ON/OFF Switch (1) The appliance is switched on - the green light is on. The appliance is switched off - the green light is off. Sound alarm button, red light (3) Sound alarm is triggered and red light is on if the freezer compartment is not under correct temperature (see section Troubleshooting guide). Alarm is triggered also when the door remains open for some time. It may be stopped by closing the door. Operation Mode Selection Switch (2) This switch is used to select one of the two operation modes: continuous and automatic. Temperature Selection (4) 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. 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. 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. 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. 52 Instructions for Use External Temperature Meter (5) The meter shows approximate temperature in the interior of the freezer. The most convenient temperature for long term storing of frozen foods is -18°C or colder. Optimum storage conditions depend on the thermostat setting, ambient temperature, how loaded the appliance is and how often you open the door. Don't forget, temperature changes are noted on the meter some 48 hours after the thermostat position was changed. Instructions for Use 53 Use Switching On the Empty Freezer Switch the freezer on. [. . . ] · Put the door with the upper hinge washer on the upper hinge fastener. · Fix the lower hinge with washer on the new position. · Replace the cover plate of the lower hinge to the opposite side of the kick-plate and place it to the appliance. · In case your appliance is equipped with a handle mounted on the side of the appliance, take it off and replace it on the other side.
