Hints, useful information Environmental information 3 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNINGS AND GUIDELINES These warnings are provided to improve safety, and should be read carefully before installing or using your freezer. IMPORTANT It is vital that these instructions are kept with the freezer for future use. If the freezer is sold or given to another user, or if you move and leave the freezer behind, you must ensure that the instructions accompany the freezer to enable the next user to use the freezer correctly and read the relevant warnings. [. . . ] The room should be dry and adequately ventilated. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the device. Therefore: -do not put the device to a place exposed to sunshine ore besides a radiator or oven, -put it to a place where the temperature of the environment corresponds to the climatic classification for which the device was designed. Climatic classification Ambient temperature limits SN from +10°C to +32°C N from +16°C to +32°C ST from +18°C to +38°C T from +18°C to +43°C If the freezer has been handled standing on end it should be allowed to stand in normal position for about 12 hours before switching it on. Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. FREEZING It is important that fresh food placed in the freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food already in the freezer is heated as little as possible in this connection. If more than 3-4 kg of food is to be frozen: Press the square "Super" button (yellow light comes on). The freezer will now run continuosly, creating a sufficient reserve of the temperature required. Press the "Super" button 6-24 hours before placing fresh food in the freezer, depending on how much food is be frozen. Place the food in the freezer and leave the "Super" button on for about 24 hours more. The press the "Super" button again (yellow light goes off). The freezer will return to normal storage temperature. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked "L" or coloured red. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. MAINTENANCE DEFROSTING The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer. Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be left open. A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the scraper provided. IMPORTANT Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost. When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a cold place. The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and closing the lid. Open the lid after a while, and remove the layer of ice carefully. HELPFUL HINTS STORAGE Frozen food can be stored anywhere inside the freezer, but should be kept at least 5 mm below the top edge.
