Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on a level, stable floor in a well-ventilated area.

  1. Positioning: Allow at least 5 cm clearance at back and sides for ventilation.
  2. Leveling: Adjust the front feet using a wrench to ensure the appliance is perfectly level.
  3. Door Reversal (if needed): Follow instructions in the separate door reversal guide.
  4. Electrical Connection: Plug into a dedicated 220-240V, 50Hz grounded outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
  5. Initial Standby: Let the appliance stand upright for at least 4 hours before first switch-on.

WARNING! The appliance is heavy; use two people for moving and installation. Ensure the floor can support the weight.

First-Time Setup

After installation, power on the freezer and configure initial settings.

  1. Power On: Plug in the appliance. The control panel will illuminate.
  2. Set Temperature: Press the temperature button to set the desired freezer temperature (recommended -18°C / 0°F).
  3. SuperCool Mode: For initial cooling or after adding large loads, activate SuperCool function for 6-12 hours.
  4. Load Food: Once the target temperature is reached (indicator light stable), begin loading pre-frozen or fresh food.

CAUTION! Do not overload the appliance during first use. Allow air circulation around items.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Access all functions via the electronic control panel, typically located on the front exterior.

Control Panel Icons/Functions: POWER On/Off, Temperature Setting (+/-), SuperCool Button, Alarm Reset/Mute, Child Lock (if applicable).

Temperature Setting: Range typically from -24°C to -16°C. Recommended setting is -18°C. SuperCool Function: Activates maximum cooling for several hours, then automatically returns to normal setting. Alarm System: Visual (flashing light) and audible alarm triggers if internal temperature rises significantly (e.g., door ajar, power failure). Alarm can be muted temporarily. Child Lock: Locks the control panel to prevent unintended setting changes.

Loading and Organizing

For optimal performance and food preservation, organize contents efficiently.

  1. Use all shelves and baskets. Heavier items on bottom.
  2. Do not block air vents inside the compartment.
  3. Allow space between packages for cold air circulation.
  4. Label and date all packages. Follow the "first in, first out" principle.
  5. Pre-freeze fresh food in portions before storing.

Tip: Keep an inventory list on the door to minimize door opening time.

Special Functions

Utilizing advanced features for convenience and efficiency.

  1. NoFrost Operation: Fully automatic. No user action required. Ensures consistent temperature and humidity.
  2. SuperCool: Press the SuperCool button before or after adding a large quantity of unfrozen food. Runs for a set period (e.g., 6-12 hrs).
  3. Temperature Alarm: Acknowledge alarm by pressing the alarm button. Investigate cause (door open, power failure, high ambient temperature).
  4. Holiday Mode: If equipped, reduces energy consumption during long absences while maintaining a safe storage temperature.

WARNING! Do not attempt to manually defrost. The NoFrost system handles it automatically.
