Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Remove all packaging materials and transit bolts.

  1. Choose location: Place on level, solid floor away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
  2. Ensure ventilation: Maintain minimum clearance (5 cm sides, 10 cm back, 30 cm top).
  3. Level the appliance: Adjust front feet using a spanner for stability.
  4. Connect to power: Plug into grounded 220-240V, 50Hz outlet. Use dedicated circuit.
  5. Door reversal (optional): Follow instructions in manual to change door swing direction.

WARNING! Appliance is heavy; use two people for moving. Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating.

First-Time Setup

After installation, allow appliance to stand upright for 4 hours before first use.

  1. Initial cleaning: Wipe interior with warm water and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly.
  2. Power on: Connect to mains; control panel will illuminate.
  3. Set temperature: Use +/- buttons to set desired freezer temperature (recommended -18°C).
  4. Activate SuperCool: Press SuperCool button for 24 hours to rapidly cool empty compartment.
  5. Load food: After SuperCool cycle ends, begin loading food items.

CAUTION! Do not load food before initial cooling cycle. Keep door closed during SuperCool operation.

Specifications

Controls and Settings

Control Panel: Digital temperature display, SuperCool button, Alarm reset button, Temperature adjustment buttons.

Temperature Setting: Use +/- buttons to set between -24°C and -14°C. Recommended: -18°C.

SuperCool Function: Press button to activate for 24 hours (light illuminates). Automatically switches off after cycle.

Alarm System: Visual (flashing display) and audible alarm triggers if door left open >60 seconds or temperature rises above -12°C. Press alarm button to silence.

Power Freeze: Activates maximum compressor power for several hours when loading large quantities.

Loading and Organizing

For optimal freezing and energy efficiency:

  1. Pre-cool warm food: Allow to cool to room temperature before freezing.
  2. Package properly: Use airtight containers or freezer bags to prevent freezer burn.
  3. Label and date: Mark packages with contents and freezing date.
  4. Organize by category: Use shelves for prepared meals, door bins for smaller items.
  5. Do not overload: Ensure air circulation around packages.
  6. Maximum loading: Do not exceed freezing capacity (18 kg/24h).

Tip: Place newer items at the back/bottom to use older items first (FIFO).

Energy Saving Tips

  1. Set optimal temperature: -18°C is sufficient for long-term storage.
  2. Minimize door openings: Plan removal of items to reduce cold loss.
  3. Ensure door seals are clean and tight: Test by closing door on paper; if paper slips easily, seals may need replacement.
  4. Position away from heat sources: Ovens, radiators, direct sunlight increase energy consumption.
  5. Allow hot food to cool before freezing.
  6. Keep condenser coils clean (located at rear or underneath).

Maintenance & Defrosting

NoFrost system eliminates need for manual defrosting. However, minimal maintenance required:

  1. Condensation drain: Check occasionally for blockages (if applicable).
  2. Door seals: Clean with mild detergent; check for damage.
  3. Interior: Remove shelves and bins for periodic cleaning (see Care section).
  4. Exterior: Clean with damp cloth.

Note: If ice forms despite NoFrost, ensure door is closing properly and ambient temperature is within climate class range.

Care & Cleaning

Unplug appliance before cleaning.

  1. Exterior: Use soft cloth dampened with mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
  2. Interior: Remove all food. Wash shelves, bins, and interior surfaces with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  3. Door seals: Clean gently with water and soft brush.
  4. Condenser coils: Vacuum dust from rear or bottom grille every 6-12 months.

CAUTION! Never use sharp objects to remove ice. Do not use steam cleaners. Never wash removable parts in dishwasher unless specified.
