Alarm: Visual and acoustic signal for door ajar or temperature rise. Child Lock: Press and hold specific button combination (e.g., LOCK + '-' for 3 seconds) to enable/disable.

Connecting to Power

Use a properly grounded 3-pin socket. Do not use extension cords.

1. Ensure voltage matches appliance rating plate (220-240V AC).
2. Plug directly into a wall socket. The socket must be easily accessible.
3. After plugging in, the control panel display should light up.

Tip: Use a dedicated circuit to avoid overloading. Ensure plug and socket are dry.

Operating the Freezer

For optimal freezing and food preservation.

1. Loading Food: Place food in sealed containers or freezer bags to prevent drying and odor transfer.
2. Air Circulation: Do not overpack; allow air to circulate around items for even freezing.
3. Super Freeze: Activate this function several hours before adding large quantities of unfrozen food.
4. Door Usage: Open door only when necessary and close promptly to maintain temperature.
5. Ice Build-up: With NoFrost, significant ice should not form. A thin layer is normal.

WARNING! Do not store explosive substances or glass containers filled with liquid that may freeze and burst.

Temperature Management

Electronic control ensures precise temperature maintenance. Alarm activates if internal temperature rises significantly (e.g., due to prolonged door opening or power failure). Use Super Freeze for fast freezing to preserve food quality. Monitor temperature display regularly.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug before cleaning. Interior: Use warm water with a mild detergent. Wipe dry. Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents. Gasket: Clean door seal with water only to maintain elasticity. Condenser: Vacuum the rear grille periodically to remove dust.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, electrical appliances, or harsh chemicals. Do not pour water inside the appliance.
