Removing an obsolete appliance To protect the environment, take the obsolete appliance to an authorized home appliance collection centre. Before doing so, do the following: • disconnect the appliance from the power mains; • do not allow children to play with the appliance. ! WARNING! Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
i ADVICE FOR SAVING POWER WITH REFRIGERATION APPLIANCES • • • • • • • • • • Install the appliance as specified in the instruction manual. Do not open the door more often than necessary. Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed. Condenser unit on the rear wall should be kept clean (see chapter Cleaning the appliance). If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason, have it replaced as soon as possible.
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION SELECTING THE ROOM • Install the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. The appliance will operate correctly if the environment temperature is in the interval specified in the table. The appliance class is indicated on the rating plate / label with the basic information on the appliance.
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE • Connect the appliance to the power mains using the power cord. The wall outlet should be fitted with a ground contact (safety socket). Nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate/label with basic information on the appliance. • The appliance must be connected to the power mains and grounded in compliance with the effective standards and regulations. The appliance will withstand short-term deviations from the nominal voltage, but not more than +/- 6%.
APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION Appliance interior equipment may change according to the appliance model. 1 2 3 4 5 1 Control unit 2 LED lighting 3 NO FROST freezing unit (cooler, fan ...) 4 Storage compartment with door 5 Freezing and storage drawers 6 Shallow (slim) freezing and storage drawer 7 Deep freezing and storage drawer 8 Half-size freezing and storage drawer 6 7 5 8 • The drawers are protected against pulling out.
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE C B D A A Appliance on/off, temperature settings, and extra function key B Temperature display The indicator for the selected temperature will be lit. C Intensive freezing (freezer boost) function indicator The C symbol will be lit when the intensive freezing function is activated. D High temperature or open door alarm indicator 829703 To set the appliance temperature or activate extra functions, press the A key successively.
SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON/OFF Switching the appliance on: Press the A key and hold it for 3 seconds. Switching off the appliance: Again press the A key and hold it for 3 seconds. The appliance will be off, but there is still voltage in it as it is still connected to the power mains. ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE IN THE APPLIANCE i • The factory default setting is the recommended temperature of –18 °C. • After the appliance is switched on, it may take several hours for the set temperature to be reached.
The numbers -24, -22, -20, -18 and -16 indicate the degrees Celsius (°C) in the appliance. • The recommended temperature setting is –18 °C. INTENSIVE FREEZING (FREEZER BOOST) FUNCTION To activate the intensive freezing (freezer boost) function, press the A key several times until the symbol C lights up. i • When the intensive freezing function is activated, the appliance will operate with maximum power. During this time, operation may be somewhat louder.
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM If the temperature inside the appliance is too high, acoustic alarm will be activated (intermittent tone) and the D symbol will flash. • Every time the appliance is switched on with the A key, there is a 24hour delay in high temperature alarm operation. If the appliance does not reach the sufficiently low temperature in this period, the alarm will be activated. • To acknowledge and turn off the acoustic alarm, press the A key.
APPLIANCE INTERIOR EQUIPMENT (* EQUIPMENT DEPENDS ON THE MODEL) Ice tray 829703 • If the tray is used as an ice tray, fill it with water and place it in the freezer in a horizontal position.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD FREEZING PROCEDURE i Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen will deteriorate. • To make use of the entire freezer volume, remove all drawers. Place the food directly on the shelves and on the freezer bottom.
STORING INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN FOOD • When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions. Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging. • Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of –18 °C or lower. • Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates it has been partly thawed several times and that it is of inferior quality. • Protect the food from thawing during transport.
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE DEFROSTING A NO FROST FREEZER • The NO FROST freezer will defrost automatically. Occasional frost that may appear on the walls will disappear automatically. • Build-up of ice or frost in the freezer compartment can be a result of abnormal use of appliance (door opened too frequently and/or too long, door not properly closed etc.). In this case, unplug the appliance, remove the food from the freezer and protect them from defrosting. Clean and dry the freezer interior.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE ! Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface. Clean the appliance exterior with water or a mild solution of suds.
TROUBLESHOOTING Problem: Cause or remedy: Appliance is connected to the power mains but it does not work. • Make sure there is voltage in the power outlet and that the appliance is switched on. Cooling system operates continuously for a long period of time: • Too high environment temperature. • Door opened too frequently or too long. • Door not closed correctly (possible impurities on the seal, misaligned door, damaged seal etc.). • Too much fresh food inserted at once.
INFORMATION ABOUT APPLIANCE NOISE Cooling in refrigerator freezers is made possible by a cooling system that also includes a compressor (and a fan with some appliances), which generates some noise. The level of noise depends on installation, proper use, and age of the appliance. • After connecting the appliance to the power mains, compressor operation, or the sound of flowing liquid, may be somewhat louder. This is not a sign of malfunction and it will not affect the useful life of the appliance.
