Switching the appliance off
If your freezer is to remain unused for any length of
time, it must be disconnected (unplugged) from the
electricity supply. The freezer should be defrosted,
cleaned thoroughly and the appliance door left
open to prevent any odours from forming.
If you should ever move house
Flg.11
If the freezer compartment is not fully loaded, pack
the frozen food all together on as few storage levels
as possible: drawers (1) and (2).
24 hours before the removal lorry is due to leave
switch over to fast-freezing in order to build up a
reserve of coldness in the frozen items.
Make sure the freezer door cannot come open
during transport.
Ensure that the freezer is the last item loaded onto
the removal lorry, so that it is the first to be taken off
and can be plugged in again at once.
Faults and servicing
To maintain the safety of your appliance, repairs, espe-
cially on live parts, should only be carried out by a
trained electrician. In the event of a fault, you should
therefore contact your electrical retailer or the service
centre direct.
Before approaching the service centre, check whether
the pilot lamps come on, the refrigerating unit oper-
ates, and the internal temperature is being maintained.
If, for example, the green light goes out whilst your
freezer is operational, switch on the fast-freeze
system.
If the amber light comes on, the green light is defec-
tive.
If the amber light does not come on when the
fast-freeze system is switched on, but the refrigerating
unit is operational, this means that the amber light
must be replaced.
If neither of the pilot light is on, check first whether
there has been a power failure (power point, fuse,
general failure of the mains supply, or similar). If neces-
sary, inform your electrician at once.
If the red light comes on and the audible temperature
alarm (if fitted) sounds, or the temperature inside the
freezer has risen sharply without fresh food having
been inserted or the appliance door having been open
for any length of time, this means that there is a fault.

Switch on the fast-freeze system, keep your freezer
closed, and notify the nearest service centre immedi-
ately (see list of service centres). In this case, do not
carry out any repairs yourself, especially in the elec-
trical parts of your freezer.
When notifying the service centre, please quote:
– the model designation
– E-number and
– F-number of your appliance.
These data are indicated on the rating plate inside
the freezer compartment.
Keep the freezer closed and inform the service
centre whether it is still freezing. If the freezing
mechanism has stopped working, the reserve in the
coldaccumulator (if fitted) and in the deep-frozen
food itself, if the freezer is full, will be sufficient for
about 27 hours, or about 18 hours if there is no
coldaccumulator.
N.B.! Unjustified after-sales service calls must be
paid for even during the guarantee period.
Important: regularly check on the red temperature
pilot lamp and thermometer that the storage
temperature is being maintained.
Minor repairs you can carry out
yourself
– Spare parts
Spare parts can be ordered from the service
centre. You can fit these yourself without any
special skill or training, e.g.:
– Freezer drawers
– Door handle.
Hints on energy saving
– Never place any hot food in the freezer - first
allow the food to cool to room temperature.
– Do not open the door unnecessarily, and close it
again as quickly as possible.
– Check the storage temperature in the freezer
compartment on the thermometer.
– Do not set the storage temperature for your fro-
zen food colder than -18 C
– Ensure good ventilation for your freezer.
