Safety The safety of our freezers is in accordance with recognised technological standards and appliance safety legislation. We nevertheless feel that it is important to acquaint you with the following safety guidelines: Use for Intended Purpose • The freezer is intended for household use. It is suitable for freezing and storage of frozen food. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damages occurring through improper operation or use of the appliance for unintended purposes.
Safety • Before disposing of old appliances make them inoperable. Remove plug from mains, sever the power cable, remove or destroy any snap or latch closures. This eliminates the danger that playing children lock themselves into the appliance (danger of suffocation!) or place themselves into other life-endangering situations. • Children often do not recognise the dangers involved with household appliances.
• For the electrician: Before carrying out any work on the freezer always pull out the mains plug or switch off/disengage the household fuse. Disposal Appliance Packaging Information All materials are environmentally sound! They can be dumped or burned at an incinerating plant without danger! About the materials: The plastics can be recycled and are identified as follows: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. the outer covering and the bags in the interior. >PS< for polystyrene foam, e.g.
Installation Installation Location The appliance should be set up in a well ventilated, dry room. The basement is an optimal place for chest freezers. Warning! The appliance may not be exposed to spray or splash water. Danger of electrical shock! Energy use is affected by the ambient temperature.
Appliance Alignment The appliance must have a solid, level footing. Please compensate for uneven floors with appropriate supports. Electrical Connection WARNING – THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED Please ensure that the voltage and current indicated on the rating plate agree with the voltage of your electricity supply. 220/240 volts (i. e. 220/240V AC).
Warning! A cut-off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut-off plug is disposed of safely. Voltage 220/240V AC Fuse rating 13 amps for further information. The rating plate is inside, o left. Appliance Description Control Panel Fig.
– if the storage temperature required has not yet been reached when starting the freezer; if the storage temperature is no longer maintained (malfunction); – after inserting fresh foodstuffs in a greater quantity than permitted by the freezing capacity (see section on “Freezing”); – if the lid is left open too long. You can switch off the warning buzzer with the WARNING OFF button. The red warning light continues to flash until it is sufficiently cold again inside the freezer.
Only place the ice packs to freeze on the floor of the freezer once the optimal storage temperature of -18 °C has been reached. After approx. 24 hours place the ice packs (if they were supplied with your model) onto the freezing trays which are inserted in the storage baskets hung at the top of the freezer. If the freezing trays are being used for pre-freezing, you can place the ice packs directly onto the frozen foods in the baskets hung at the top of the freezer.
Twist the temperature controller to position “2” to “3” using a coin. The following influences are of decisive importance for the internal temperature: – ambient temperature; – quantity of food stored; – frequent or prolonged opening of the lid. Therefore regularly monitor that the optimal storage temperature of –18 °C or colder is maintained, either using the thermometer or the digital temperature display depending on which model you have.
Remove the mains plug or switch off or turn out the circuit breaker or fuse. Defrost freezer compartment and clean thoroughly (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Then leave the lid open to avoid odours. Maximum capacity / Stacking limit Fig. 10 To be able to store larger quantities or bulky products for freezing you can remove all the storage baskets. The appliance will still function safely if used in this way. Do not stack the products higher than the lower edge of the plastic frame.
At this point, the yellow warning light lights up, the „SP” sign will appear on the display. (Fig. 11) The FAST FREEZE button need not be pressed for freezing of small quantities of up to 3 kg. All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods occurs. Caution! Do not touch the frozen foods with wet hands. Hands can freeze to the goods. Place the packed food products into the freezer.
The role of the pressure equalisation valve (not induded with all models) Fig. 12 The pressure equalisation valve installed in your machine performs automatically the elimination of the pressure difference which otherwisw would make the opening of the cover difficult or even impossible. Its operation may – as the case may be - be heard due to the air flowing in through the airing outlet arraged in the rear wall of the deep freezer box.
• Load freezer only with packaged frozen goods, so that they do not dry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination of other frozen goods can occur. • Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods. • Store ice cream and fatty foods in the lower area of the freezer (near to the bottom). Defrosting Whilst in operation and when the lid is opened, the moisture inside the freezer forms hoar frost.
Tip: To accelerate the defrosting process, place a saucepan with hot water in the appliance and close the lid. Remove pieces of ice that break away before defrosting is complete. After defrosting thoroughly clean the freezer interior, as well as interior accessories (see section: “Cleaning and Care”). Cleaning and care For hygienic reasons the appliance interior, including interior accessories, should be cleaned regularly.
After cleaning wipe with fresh water and rub dry. Attention! Reinsert the plug of the defrost water outlet at the base of the freezer after cleaning. After everything is dry place appliance back into service. Energy Saving Tips • Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators orother sources of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. • In order to guarantee sufficient ventilation, do not cover or obstruct the sides and base of the appliance.
Possible cause Malfunction Remedy The mains plug is not Insert mains plug. plugged in. The appliance is not functioning, the green power supply pilot light is not illuminated.

Customer Service If you cannot find the remedy for a malfunction in these operating instructions, please contact your dealer or our customer service department. Addresses and telephone numbers are listed in the accompanying booklet “Guarantee Conditions/Customer Service Locations”. Selective ordering of replacement parts can save unnecessary travel and costs. For this reason always provide the following appliance information: • Model name • Product number (E-No.) • Manufacturing number (F-No.
Special accessories Additional products can be purchased from your sales dealer as special accessories: • Lid lock (to be retrofitted) Order no. 920 761 502 • Extra universal storage baskets Order no. 920 761 503 The gross capacity of your freezer determines how many storage baskets may be used to fill the freezer.
The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Like all fluids, refrigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. Like all fluids, refrigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. This is why the evaporator is located inside the freezer or directly behind the interior walls and as a result is not visible. • Compressor The compressor looks like a small bin. It is powered by a built-in electric motor.
