Directions for use
In the following, you will find all the important
information for the use of your appliance.
The instructions for use apply to several models, which
is why details of the information may differ according to
the type of the appliance.
1 Installation (Choice of position for installation)
Strictly avoid high ambient temperatures and direct
sunlight. We advise you to place your appliance in a
cool, well aired, dry room. Installation in the immediate
vicinity of a heat source (heating, oven etc.) is highly
inappropriate (increased compressor performance
would be necessary and, as a result, power
consumption would be considerably higher).
If the installation near a heat source cannot be avoided,
a suitable insulation plate must be fitted between the
appliance and the heat source (do not use asbestos), or
the following minimum distances must be observed:
from gas or electric cooker
3 cm
from radiator or oven
5 cm
from a wall, piece of furniture or
another appliance
2 cm
Never obstruct the ventilation grille
Larger chest freezers are equipped with a ventilation
grille (F) located below on one side. These appliances
can be placed directly against a wall or a piece of
furniture but not with the side protected with the
ventilation grille.
Freezers without ventilation grille
Leave sufficient space between the rear of the
appliance and the wall to ensure that outward flow of
warm air is able to escape.
The appliance must be placed horizontally and on a
levelled base. Only this way can an impeded circuit of
the refrigerant and optimum function be ensured.
IMPORTANT!
Leave the appliance stand in the final position for
at least 2 hours before switching it on, so that the
refrigerant circuit stabilises and no operating
problems occur.
The odour which is typical of all new appliances is easy
to remove.
Thoroughly clean the interior compartment with a
mixture of
lukewarm water and vinegar
.
Do not use washing liquids, sharp or granular
cleaning implements, or any cleaning products
containing soda.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the
inner area – especially the corners – is absolutely dry.
Danger warning
Depending on its composition, the refrigerant is easily
inflammable. The refrigerant circuit is hermetically
sealed and the
density
has been subject to repeated
tests.
An improper intervention can cause acute fire hazard.
Instruction for use
Omit any mechanical influence on the cooling system,
especially on the following accessible parts in the
compressor chamber
(L)
:
Rear wall condenser or skin condenser (R)
Compressor (P)
(motor)
Capillary tube (Q)
Drying filter (N)
Interventions on the cooling system must be carried out
by professional and authorised personnel only.
IMPORTANT!
Escaping refrigerant can injure your eyes.
In the event of eye contact with the refrigerant, wash
your eyes instantly under plenty of running water and
call/consult an eye specialist immediately.
2 Rating plate
The rating plate (with technical data) is located on the
housing (D) at the rear of the appliance.
Take a note of the technical data
Copy the technical data from the rating plate to here so
that it is at any time readily available, without having to
move the appliance
Model/Type …………….…………………………
Net capacity ………………….……………litres
Operating voltage ………………….……...…...V-50Hz
Maximum absorbed power(W)..……………….Watt
Safety (A) ……………….....………………......Amp
Power consumption………………………….....kWh/24h
Freezing capacity…………………………….....kg/24h
3 Connection to power supply
Your appliance must be connected to a power socked
with grounded connection, which is conform to the
respective standards and has been installed by an
authorised specialist.
Before you connect the plug of the appliance with the
power socket, make absolutely sure that
the voltage (V) on the appliance’s data-plate
corresponds with that of your mains.
If the voltage differs, notify the after-sales-service or
your dealer immediately, and do not on any account
connect the appliance to the mains.
4 temperature selection
(Thermostat) (FIG.4)
To prevent temperature being accidentally modified, the
control is intentionally resistant to turning. To vary the
setting, we recommend to use a coin or screwdriver.
To switch on:
Turn the control to the right
adjust temperature to the level you require, between:
-
Min.
(slight cooling) and
-
max
. (lowest temperature)
2
English
Temperature settings must be according to:
-
ambient temperature of the appliance
-
quantity of stored foodstuff
-
frequency of opening
We recommend a medium setting.
You will soon learn which is the most suitable setting for
your requirements.
5 Indicator-lights
(FIG.4)
If your appliance is equipped with indicator-lights, the
following guide explains what is meant by each light up:
-
green =
CONTROL
The appliance is under current
and
operating
The
green
control light
must always be on
when the
appliance is connected to the mains and switched on. It
is very important to pay attention to this, because in the
event of a power failure, the red and yellow lights stop
operating and do no longer provide a warning.
-
- red =
ALARM
Interior temperature too high
If the red indicator-light goes on, there may be several
reasons for this, namely:
First start-up of appliance
Restart after defrosting
Filling freezer with fresh food
In these cases it is normal that the red indicator-light
goes on. It goes off automatically when the interior
temperature reaches approximately –15°C.
Switch on the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (if equipped
with)
(FIG.4)
.
(switch off again not more than 24 hours
later or when the red light has gone off).
Reopen the appliance, if possible, only after the red
light has gone off.
If the red control light nevertheless stays on after 12 to
24 hours, there may be serious problems.
Consult the Troubleshooting guide “ what is when...”
chapter at the end of this operating manual.
-
yellow =
SUPER FREEZE SWITCH is on and the
thermostat function is disabled.
The compressor continues cooling until the SUPER
FREEZE switch is turned off again.
6 Warning Buzzer (Acoustic alarm)
If your appliance is supplied with a buzzer, it will sound
when the red indicator-light goes on. The buzzer is
silenced automatically when you turn on the SUPER
FREEZER SWITCH.
Instruction for use
7 Start-up
1. Fully unpack the appliance.
2. Remove the polystyrene parts in the compressor
chamber (if supplied).
3. Remove documents and any accessories from the
inside of the appliance.
4. Clean the interior with a mixture of lukewarm water
and vinegar, and dry thoroughly with a cloth.
5. Close the appliance.
6. Insert the plug in the socket
7. Switch on the appliance by turning the temperature
control
(FIG.4)
to the right (For the time being, turn
the controller fully to the right to Max position).
(green and red lights go on).
8. If equipped with a SUPER FREEZE SWITCH, turn
it on
(
yellow light goes on too).
9. Do not open the appliance any more for about 4
hours respectively as long as the red light is on, to
allow the temperature in the inner compartment to
drop to the necessary level.
10. You can now fill the appliance with any amount of
deep frozen food (purchased ready frozen goods).
(Consult the following chapter “Maximum stacking
height”).
11. Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH again after
24 hours at the latest.
12. If you wish to freeze fresh, unfrozen food, go on to
the following chapter “
Freezing/storage of fresh
food”.
Important!
Do not store any bottles containing liquids. Liquid
expands when frozen and the bottle can explode. Never
keep containers with explosive substances (gas
lighters, petrol, ether and the like) in the freezer
compartment of the appliance.
When storing ready frozen food, you must observe the
manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.
Deep frozen ice-cream and ice lollies must be eaten
only a few minutes after being taken from the appliance
to avoid injury to lips and tongue (danger of skin
detachment). For the same reason, avoid touching
the inner walls with wet hands. We advise you to use
defrosted or slightly frozen products within short time.
As a rule, such products are not suitable for re-freezing.
8 Freezing / storage of fresh food
Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and
storage in the appliance.
For the most common of these products, we provide a
table with instructions on acceptable storage times and
the most suitable packing material (see
“storage table”
at the back of this user manual).
Label
the fresh products clearly as they are not easy to
identify when deep frozen in transparent freezer-bags.
We advise you to use commercially available labels for
frozen foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your
household to prevent defrosting of quantities that are
too large for consumption in one day in your household.
3
English
Label the portions with at least the following
information:
Product name (e.g. beef fillet)
Weight of portion
Quantity (
total of pieces)
Freezing date
Use by date (
consumption date)
(
see “storage
table”)
Then continue as follows
a) We recommend you place fresh foods in the pre-
freezing compartment at the side
(I)
(not all models are
equipped) or on the bottom of the freezer. This is the
coldest part.
Avoid to put fresh foods directly in contact with deep
frozen food. Deep frozen food could defrost and may
not outlast the foreseen storage time.
b) Fill in within 24 hours, only the quantities of fresh
food that are suitable for the freezing capacity of
your appliance.
See information on the rating plate
(XX kg/24h)
.
c) If available, switch on the SUPER FREEZE
SWITCH
(FIG.4)
(not absolutely necessary when
filling in already frozen (e.g. deep-frozen food)
items.
d) After 24 hours, shift deep-frozen goods from the
freezer bottom or the pre-freeze shelf to a hung
basket
(K),
so that the pre-freeze shelf or freezer
bottom are available for freezing additional fresh
foods.
e) Turn off the SUPER FREEZE SWITCH (yellow
light goes off).
f) Set the temperature control to one of the
appliance’s relevant filling capacities (
see
“Maximum stacking height”).
g) Keep the temperature in the storage shelf (E)
under control, preferably by placing a thermometer
with a scale range of up to –26°C.
The storage
temperature must always be at least -18°C.
Refilling of fresh food (not frozen)
Make sure that you refill fresh food, in quantities
adequate to the freezing capacity (XXkg/24h) earliest
24 hours after the previous filling.
(do not exceed maximum stacking height)
9 Maximum stacking height
To ensure correct storage of frozen food, never fill the
storage shelf
(E)
up to the edge. Always allow space
between the lid and the frozen foods.
Set the temperature control
(FIG.4)
strictly according to
the filling capacity.
To save energy when operating in normal ambient
temperature (+18 to + 22°C), we recommend the
following settings for the temperature control:
Capacity
Stacking mark Setting
pos.
Full upper 12,00 h
Half full medium 10.00 h
1/4 or less lower 08.00 h
Instruction for use
10 Storage time
The storage time for purchased deep-frozen products
varies and depends on the type of product and its
packaging. Therefore, strictly observe the producer’s
instructions on the packaging.
For fresh food that you like to deep freeze, consult the
storage table
at the back of this user manual.
After being defrosted, food must be consumed
immediately but latest within the next 24 hours.
11 Precautions and advice
Whenever cleaning or defrosting, remove the
power plug.
After closing the freezer lid, do not open it
immediately and do not force it open under any
circumstances. Any vacuum remaining on the
seal (B) is released after about 1 or 2 minutes, so
that the lid can be opened normally once again.
To prevent condensation and ice forming, allow
cooked food to cool down to ambient temperature
before closing the lid of the dish and before
storage.
Leave the freezer lid open as briefly as possible to
avoid waste of energy and to prevent an excessive
amount of ice forming in the appliance.
ice forming in the appliance.
If the red indicator-light goes on unexpectedly or
stays on for a long period, do not open the lid on
any account and take the appropriate measures
immediately (
see guide “what is when ....” at the
back of the this user manual)
.
Do not use a screwdriver or other metal objects to
remove the layer of ice. The interior walls are very
delicate and will not tolerate any sharp edges. Use
only plastic or wooden scrapers.
12 Cleaning and maintenance
For the upkeep of the external appearance of your
appliance, now and again clean with furniture polish or
other enamel protecting product (never, on any
account, use it in the inside. Clean the seal
(B)
with
warm water now and again without using any cleaning
product.
If your appliance has a condenser
(R)
in the rear inside,
from time to time remove dirt and dust. Dust and dirt
impede release of heat from the inner compartment and
considerably increases consumption of energy. For
best results, use a light brush or duster to remove dust
from the condenser on the rear wall.
If you leave your appliance out of use for an extended
period (e.g. when on holidays), leave it open to prevent
odours building up inside. For appliances with locks:
when the chest lid is open, always set the lock in
“closed” position and keep the key well away from small
children to prevent accidents.
When
ice and frost layers
form on the inner walls up
to a certain thickness, they act as an insulation element
and prevent the coldness being released from the inner
walls. They must be removed from time to time.

In order to receive immediate help, make sure you have
ready the following essential data to identify your
appliance:
Brand of appliance
Model / Type
Kind of trouble
Date of purchase
Purchased from whom?
17 Guarantee
Please note the general guarantee terms and the
guarantee period are stated in the attached guarantee
card.
If the appliance documentation does not include a
guarantee card, please contact your dealer.
18 What is when............
a) No function (appliance not running)
Attention!
In the event of problems or of a power failure, the
insulation of the appliance walls provides 10 to 12
hours storage time after the beginning of such failures.
Considerably more time is available in specially
insulated appliances. Ask your dealer what is the
suitable
“storage time after problems”
for your
appliance.
If it takes longer to eliminate a problem, the frozen food
in the appliance begins to defrost. Therefore, take
prompt action to eliminate the problem and, if
necessary, shift frozen food into another appliance
(possibly neighbour).
b) Appliance not cooling sufficiently
Freezing process too long
Compressor operating too often
Possible causes/Remedies:
Did you have the appliance t stand for at least 2
hours before switching it on? (stabilise the
refrigerant flow-circuit). See
: “Start-up”.
If not: unplug when the chest is closed, lift the chest for
a brief moment and then put it back down to its original
position. After 2 hours put the plug back in. Do not open
the chest during this period and a further 12 hours
afterwards, i.e. until the red light goes off.
Is the plug in good condition and is it properly
plugged into the socket?
Is the socket under current?
(if necessary, test by connecting a small appliance such
as a hand-mixer, etc.).
The lid of the appliance does not close properly.
The seal does not firmly press.
Test: place a piece of writing paper between the seal
and the edge of the chest, and close the lid. It should
be difficult to pull out the paper from any side. If you
can pull out the paper without any resistance from one
ore more sides, notify your after-sales service centre.
Heavy ice formation on the inner walls.
(see “cleaning and maintenance”)
Instruction for use
The appliance is exposed to direct sunlight or is
installed near a heat source (oven, radiator, etc.)
Protect the appliance against direct sunlight; check the
distance to the heat source; place isolating (see “
Installation (Choice of position for installation”)
The filling of food does not correspond with the
excess freezing capacity of your appliance (see
rating plate: XXkg/24h), or you did fill in too warm
food
(see:
” Refilling of fresh food”
).
The manufacturer works constantly at the further
development of all products. Please therefore bear this
in mind as the form, set up and technology are subject
to change, without prior notice.
