8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is
switched on. Wait until the correct storage
temperature has been reached. We
recommend checking the temperature with an
accurate thermometer (see the "Temperature
control and Adjustment" section).
9. Remember to remove all packing materials
- including transportation security in the form
of tape, styrofoam, cardboard, etc. within the
enclosure. It is also important to remove any
styrofoam / cardboard in the evaporator tray
on the back of the closet, otherwise there is a
risk that water is leaking on the floor.
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term
storage of commercially frozen foods and also
can be used to freeze and store fresh food.
If there is a power failure, do not open the
door. Frozen food should not be affected if the
failure lasts for less than 16 hrs. If the failure
is longer, then the food should be checked
and either eaten immediately or cooked and
then re-frozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to
obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one
time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity of your
appliance in 24 h.
Placing warm food in the freezer compartment
causes the compressor to operate continously
until the food is frozen solid. This can
temporarily lead to excessive cooling of the
refrigeration compartment.
When freezing fresh food, keep the
thermostat control at the medium position.
Small quantities of food up to 1/2 kg (1 lb) can
be frozen without adjusting the temperature
control.
Making ice cubes
Fill the icecube tray 3/4 with water and place it
in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a
spoon handle or a similar objects; never use
sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts
automatically. The thawed water runs to the
drain tube via a collection container at the
back of the appliance (Fig. 6).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at
the back of the fridge compartment where a
concealed evaporator is located. Some
droplets may remain on the liner and refreeze
when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects
such as knives or forks to remove the droplets
which have refrozen.
If, at any time, the water from the defrosting
does not drain from the collection channel,
check that no food particles have blocked the
drain tube.
The drain tube can be cleared with a cotton
bud or similar implement.
Check that the tube is permanently placed with
its end in the collecting tray on the compressor
to prevent the water spilling on the electric
installation or on the floor (Fig. 7).
B) Freezer compartment
Defrosting is very straightforward and without
mess, thanks to a special defrost collection
basin.
Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of
around 7 (1/4") mm has formed. To start the
defrosting procedure, switch off the appliance
at the socket outlet and pull out the mains
plug.
All food should be wrapped in several layers
of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g.
fridge or a larder).
Containers of warm water may be placed
carefully in the freezer to speed up the
defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged
objects, such as knives or forks to remove
the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters or
other such electrical appliances for defrosting.
Sponge off the defrost water collected in the
bottom of the freezer compartment. After
defrosting, dry the interior thoroughly (Fig. 8).
Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch
on the electricity supply.
How to reposition the doors
Proceed in numerical order (Fig. 10).
