Instructions for Use Upright Freezer Thank you for your trust and for buying this appliance. We hope it will successfully serve the purpose for many years. The upright freezer for domestic use is intended for freezing fresh food and for long-term storing of frozen food (up to one year, depending on the kind of food). -
Page 2: Before Putting Into Use
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if you have an upright model. - Page 3 • Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. • If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
- Page 4 • The rating plate is in the interior or on the rear wall of the appliance. Storing Time During Power Supply Interruption In the case of failure or electric cut out do not open the freezer, except if the cut out takes longer than 15/30 hours (with the appliances not having a chill storage battery).

Page 11: Storing Frozen Foods
• Some 24 hours after the last load, set the thermostat knob to the position for automatic operation (yellow light is off). • There is no need to set the thermostat knob to the position for continuous operation if you intend to freeze smaller amount of fresh foods (1-2 kg). - Page 12 Defrosting of Frozen Food Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable. Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made meals.

Page 13: Maintenance And Cleaning
Maintenance and Cleaning Freezer Defrosting Frost and ice layer, depositing on the inner walls of the freezer should be defrosted when 3-5 mm thick. • 24 hours before defrosting set the thermostat knob to the position for continuous operation (the yellow light is on) so that the food packages are well cooled. - Page 14 Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use If you do not intend to use the appliance for a longer period of time, disconnect the power supply, empty the appliance, defrost it and clean it. Leave the door slightly open.

Page 15: Trouble Shooting Guide
The Door is Hard to Open If you want to open the door that has just or recently been closed, you may find it hard to open. The reason why this happens is, that when you open the door, warm air gets into the appliance and when it is cooling, the underpressure seals the door. - Page 16 This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing. (The appliance shall be placed and levelled firmly on solid base and it should not touch the wall or kitchen units standing next to it.) WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ALTER THE SPECIFICATIONS WITH NO INFLUENCE ON THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
