[. . . ] 1973 - Low-Voltage Directive - 89/336/EEC of 03. 1989 (including Amendment Directive 92/31/EEC - EMC Directive. Some of the models are not available in all countries. Testing has been carried out in accordance with ISO 5155 regarding the determination of freezer capacity, energy consumption and hold-overtime. [. . . ] This should not have a temperature higher than -18°C. CONTROL PANEL The green light is illuminated as long as the freezer is connected. The yellow light is illuminated when the Super button is depressed. The red light is illuminated when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting (alarm). The red alarm light can be due to: Insertion of a large amount of fresh food. The red alarm light will go out after a while. The red alarm light will go out after a while. See under If something does not work. FREEZING 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. We recommend using an insulated bag to bring such products home with you. Never place bottles, warm objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer. food several days in a row, the maximum freezing capacity stated per day is reduced by about one-third. As far as possible, keep the lid closed during freezing. If you know nothing about home freezing, we recommend that you purchase a book containing advice and guidelines. DEFROSTING In general food should not be defrosted at room temperature, since this increases the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to defrost large portions of meat or poultry in the refrigerator, and this also applies to food which is to be consumed as it is (e. g. Small portions of food can be cooked straight from the freezer. A good number of ready-to-cook dishes can also be cooked without defrosting. Always observe the instructions on product packaging. Bread tastes good when defrosted in a moderate oven. Microwave ovens can be used for the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods. [. . . ] If the freezer has been switched off briefly, the compressor may not start immediately when the current is reconnected. This is quite normal. IN THE CASE OF A POWER FAILURE OR BREAKDOWN The hold-over period mentioned in the "Technical Specification" section of this book refers to an estimated time the freezer temperature will take to rise to an unacceptable level for keeping frozen foods. Providing the period of power failure or breakdown does not exceed the hold-over period there will be no risk of damage to the frozen food, providing you do not open the lid during this period. If the freezer is only half full or the lid is opened this will reduce the hold-over time. [. . . ]
