1. Choose Location: Install in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources.
2. Adjust Feet: Use a wrench to adjust the feet until the appliance is level.
3. Ventilation: Leave at least 5 cm clearance at back and sides for air circulation.
4. Electrical Connection: Plug into a grounded 220-240V, 50Hz outlet. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Door Reversal (Optional): Follow instructions in manual to change door hinge side.

WARNING! The appliance is heavy; use two people for moving. Ensure it is level to guarantee proper door seal and operation.

First-Time Setup

After installation, allow the appliance to stand upright for at least 4 hours before connecting to power.

1. Initial Cleaning: Wipe interior with a soft cloth dampened with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Power On: Plug in the appliance. The interior light and display will illuminate.
3. Set Temperature: Use the temperature control button to set the desired freezer temperature (recommended -18°C).
4. Super Freeze: Activate the Super Freeze function 24 hours before loading large quantities of fresh food.
5. Load Food: Once the target temperature is reached (after several hours), you can begin loading food.

CAUTION! Do not place hot food inside. Allow food to cool to room temperature first.

Controls and Settings

The control panel is located inside the appliance or on the front, depending on model.

Temperature Setting Button: Press to adjust the freezer temperature. The current setting is shown on the digital display.

Super Freeze Button: Activates the fast freezing function. The symbol lights up. Deactivates automatically after a set time (e.g., 26 hours) or can be turned off manually.

Alarm Reset Button: If the door alarm sounds, close the door and press this button to silence the alarm.

Display: Shows the current temperature of the freezer compartment. May flash if temperature is too high or door is open.

Loading the Freezer

For optimal freezing and energy efficiency, organize food correctly.

1. Use Containers: Pack food in airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn and odor transfer.
2. Label & Date: Mark packages with contents and date of freezing.
3. Do Not Overload: Allow air to circulate between packages for fast, even freezing.
4. Shelving: Adjust glass shelves to accommodate different package sizes. Heavier items on bottom.
5. Door Storage: Use door bins for smaller, frequently used items like ice packs or frozen vegetables.
6. Pre-freeze: Spread out fresh items so they freeze quickly before stacking them together.

Tip: A full freezer is more energy-efficient than an empty one. If underfilled, use filled water bottles to occupy space.

NoFrost Technology

The NoFrost system automatically prevents the formation of ice in the freezer compartment.

• How it works: Cold air is circulated by a fan. Moisture from food is carried to a hidden evaporator where it freezes. A heater periodically melts this ice, and the water evaporates away.
• Benefit: You never need to manually defrost the freezer. Food remains free of ice crystals, and storage space is maximized.
• Note: A thin layer of hoarfrost may temporarily form on very cold food or ice cream. This is normal and not a fault of the NoFrost system.

Energy Saving Tips

1. Correct Temperature: Maintain -18°C. Each degree lower increases energy consumption significantly.
2. Location: Keep away from ovens, heaters, and direct sunlight.
3. Door Seals: Check periodically that door seals are clean and tight. Replace if damaged.
4. Open Door Minimally: Plan what you need before opening. Keep the door open as short a time as possible.
5. Cool Food: Always let hot food cool down to room temperature before freezing.
6. Ventilation: Ensure air vents at the back are not blocked.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug the appliance before any cleaning.

1. Interior: Clean with a soft cloth, warm water, and a mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Shelves & Bins: Remove and wash separately with warm soapy water. Dry completely before reinstalling.
3. Door Seals: Wipe with a damp cloth only.
4. Exterior: Clean the cabinet and door with a damp cloth. For stainless steel models, use appropriate cleaner.
5. Condenser Coil: Vacuum the rear grille (if accessible) once or twice a year to remove dust for efficient operation.

CAUTION! Never use steam cleaners, sharp objects, or electrical appliances inside the freezer. Do not pour water inside or over the appliance.
