Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Remove all packaging materials and protective film.

  1. Choose location: Place on a flat, stable, dry surface away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
  2. Ensure ventilation: Leave at least 5 cm clearance at the back and sides for air circulation.
  3. Level the appliance: Adjust the front feet using a spanner to ensure proper door closure.
  4. Door reversal (if needed): Follow instructions in manual to change door hinge side.
  5. Plug into grounded power outlet: Use a dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz socket.

WARNING! Do not place near ovens, radiators, or in damp areas. Ensure the plug is accessible after installation.

First-Time Setup

Before first use, clean the interior with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.

  1. Power on: Plug in and turn on the appliance.
  2. Set thermostat: Turn the thermostat knob to position 3 or 4 for normal operation.
  3. Allow cooling: Let the freezer run empty for 2-3 hours to reach optimal temperature.
  4. Load food: Place food items evenly, ensuring proper air circulation.
  5. Fast freeze: If available, activate fast freeze function 24 hours before adding large quantities of fresh food.

CAUTION! Do not load the freezer with warm or hot food. Allow food to cool to room temperature first.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

The main control is the thermostat knob located inside the freezer compartment.

Thermostat Settings: Position 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest). For normal operation, use setting 3 or 4. Use setting 5 for maximum cooling or fast freezing.

Fast Freeze Button (if equipped): Press to activate fast freeze function for 24 hours. The indicator light will illuminate. This function should be activated before adding large amounts of fresh food.

Temperature Alarm (if equipped): An audible alarm and warning light may activate if the temperature rises too high, indicating a possible problem or door left open.

Using Your Freezer

Proper use ensures efficient operation and food preservation.

  1. Organize food: Place similar items together. Use baskets and shelves effectively.
  2. Packaging: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
  3. Labeling: Label packages with contents and date of freezing.
  4. Loading: Do not overload. Allow space between items for air circulation.
  5. Freezing fresh food: Place fresh food at the bottom or against the side walls for fastest freezing.
  6. Door opening: Minimize frequency and duration of door openings to maintain temperature.

Tip: A full freezer is more energy-efficient than an empty one. If not full, use bottles of water to fill empty spaces.

Maintenance & Defrosting

This model requires manual defrosting when ice buildup reaches approximately 5 mm thickness.

  1. Defrosting:
    • Turn thermostat knob to "0" or unplug the appliance.
    • Remove all food, wrap in newspapers, and place in a cool location.
    • Place towels and a shallow container inside to collect water.
    • Leave door open to allow ice to melt naturally. Do not use sharp objects or heaters to speed up defrosting.
    • Clean interior (see Care & Cleaning).
    • Dry thoroughly, reload food, and restart appliance by setting thermostat to desired position.
  2. Regular checks: Inspect door seals for cracks or damage. Ensure they are clean to maintain a proper seal.

WARNING! Never use sharp tools to remove ice. This can damage the cooling system.
