[. . . ] If the power cut lasts more than two days, empty the freezer and use the foods or take care that they remain in frozen condition. Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance · When your appliance finally wears out, dispose it of. If the appliance has a lock, break it, in order to prevent eventual accidents (danger of children get locked inside the appliance). · The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you don't find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution). Instructions for Use 37 Installation Selection of Room Place the appliance in a dry well-aired room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and ist stated on the rating plate of the appliance. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Do not place the appliance in wet cellar, on balcony, near cooker, radiator, water heater and similar and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should be placed in horizontal position on a firm base which remains stable even after you have fully loaded the freezer. Ambient temperature from +10°C to 32°C from +16°C to 32°C from +18°C to 38°C from +18°C to 43°C Cooling of the Appliance The appliance is not intended to be built-in the kitchen cabinet. Provide for enough space on either side of the appliance (2-3 cm) for unobstructed air circulation. · 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. Freezing procedure · One day before freezing of foods place the switch on the position for continuous operation (yellow light is on). After that time you can introduce fresh foods into the freezer. · Approximately 24 hours after the last introduction of fresh foods into the freezer, set the switch to the position for automatic operation (yellow light is off). Automatic operation - the yellow light is off. The interior temperature is controlled by the thermostat which turns the cooling system operation on and off. The frequency of switching the cooling system on and off depends on: - the thermostat knob position (thermostat setting), - frequency of the lid opening, - ambient temperature. Freezing Capacity The quantity of fresh foods which can be frozen at one time in 24 hours is indicated in the rating plate. If the quantity is bigger that the rated one, the quality of freezing will be worse and the temperature of the stored frozen foods will get higher. 2. Later Freezing of Fresh Foods Repeat the freezing procedure 1. Care should be taken that fresh foods do not get in direct contact with already frozen packs. Switching on the Empty Freezer Switch the appliance on and turn the operation mode switch to continuous operation. Introduce fresh foods into the freezer a few hours after the red light went off. 3. Freezing Smaller Quantities of Fresh Foods If you wish to freeze up a small quantity of food (1-2 kg), you do not need to place the switch on the position for continuous operation. Freezing of Fresh Foods Proper use of the appliance, adequately packed food, correct temperature and taking into account hygienic precautions will substantially influence the quality of freezing the food or storing of the frozen foodstuffs. [. . . ] · Clean the sealing of the lid with mild solution of detergent and water. · Dust the rear condenser unit from time to time with a soft non- metal brush or vacuum cleaner (at least once a year). The Fastest Way of Frost Removing Use the supplied scraper and scrap the frost layer from cooling surfaces and remove it from the freezer with soft cloth before it thaws. Discontinued Service · Disconnect the cable from the mains supply, empty the foods, defrost and clean the interior. · Place an uncovered small box of baking soda in its interior an leave the lid slightly open. · When the appliance is inoperative it can be placed in a cold room as it withstands low temperatures.
