The maximum freezing capacity in kg in 24 hours at room temperature 25 °C is specifi ed in the section
„Technical specifi cations" at the end of this manual. Never freeze more than the maximum allowable
quantity of food.
For optimal performance of the appliance and to achieve maximum freezing performance, set the
thermostat control to the maximum 24 hours before placing fresh food inside.
24 hours with thermostat at maximum is usually suffi cient time after placing fresh foods in the freezer.
Afterwards return the thermostat setting to the required operating position.
Note: Never place beverages or foods in preserving jars in the freezer. For ensuring optimum performance,
keep in the freezer enough space to allow air fl ow around individual packages.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the freezer
Before cleaning the freezer, unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Do not clean the freezer with running water. Use a sponge or cloth dipped in a mild solution of warm water
and detergent. Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaners.
Use dry cloth to clean the thermostat and the electrical components.
Wipe all surfaces carefully and dry them thoroughly.
Do not use on plastic and rubber parts cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleach or cleaners
containing kerosene.
Do not use for cleaning plastic parts paper cleaning wipes, window cleaners, scouring powders or
fl ammable liquids that could scratch or otherwise damage the surface fi nish.
Wash the accessories of the freezer separately in mild detergent solution. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Defrosting
The freezer requires maximum defrosting.
Unplug the freezer from the power supply and move all the foods to a  cool place. The best time for
defrosting is when the freezer is almost empty. The defrosting should be quick so that the temperature of
the foods would not rise.
Open the drain and discharge openings (and place water containers under the drain holes).
Do not use metal or sharp objects or mechanical and other devices to speed up the defrosting process.
When the ices soften, you can use a plastic ice scraper.
The increase in temperature of frozen foods during defrosting of the freezer shortens their storage life.
After defrosting wash and wipe dry the freezer with a sponge or dry tea towel.
Plug the appliance in the power supply and before you place in the foods let it run 2 to 3 hours at maximum.
Before placing the foods back in the freezer check them carefully. You have to consume the partially
defrosted foods within 24 hours or you have to cook them and freeze them again.
Power outage
In case of power failure the foods will stay frozen in the freezer for a number of hours. In case of power failure
limit opening the door to a minimum and do not put in fresh (unfrozen) foods.
Long-term shutdown
If you do not intend to use the freezer for a longer period of time, proceed as follows:
Pull the plug out of the outlet to disconnect the freezer from the power supply.
Clean and dry the interior of the freezer as described in the section „Cleaning of the freezer".
Leave the freezer door open to prevent unpleasant odours forming in the unused freezer.
Power saving tips
Place the appliance in a  cool, well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight and heat sources
(radiators, cookers). If necessary use a suitable insulation board.
Place beverages in the freezer only after they cool down.
