INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. If possible avoid placing the appliance near cookers, radiators or in direct
sunlight as this will cause the compressor to run for long periods. If installed next
to a source of heat or refrigerator, maintain the following minimum side
clearances:
From Cookers
4" (100 mm)
From Radiators
12" (300 mm)
From Fridges
4" (100 mm)
2. Make sure that sufficient room is provided around the appliance to ensure free
air circulation. Ideally, ensure you allow gaps as shown in the below diagram.
3. The appliance should be located on a smooth surface.
4. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.
5. If the freezer is installed in unheated areas, garages etc., in cold
weather condensation may form on the outer surfaces.
This is quite normal and is not a fault. Remove the condensation by
wiping with a dry cloth.

STARTING
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer check that:
1. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely at the rear.
2. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE".
3. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. Green light will glow and the
compressor will start running (see Freezer Operation page 6).
4. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed
within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.
5. If you going to store already frozen food open the freezer lid and check that the
freezer has reached the correct temperature. Then you can put in your already
frozen food. (See Storing Frozen Food page 7).
6. If you are going to freeze fresh Food, you should turn the Fast Freeze knob to
Superfreeze position, wait for at least three hours before putting in your fresh
food to be frozen. (See Freezing Fresh Food, Page 7).
7. Do not load the appliance immediately after it is switched on. Wait until the
correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see Freezer Operation page 6).
Important Notes:
xIf there is a power failure do not open the lid. Frozen food should not be affected
if the failure lasts for less than 36 hours. If the failure is longer, then the food
should be checked and eaten immediately or cooked and then refrozen.
xIf you find that the lid of the chest freezer is difficult to open just after you have
closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize
and allow the lid to be opened normally after a few minutes.
WARNING: When positioning the appliance ensure the supply cord is not trapped or
damaged.
WARNING: Do not locate extension sockets or charging transformers/power
supplies or Lithium-Iron battery operated products adjacent to the compressor as
they could overheat.
Hot Surface Warning!
Side walls of your product is equipped with refrigerant pipes to improve the cooling
system. Refrigerant with high temperatures may flow through these areas, resulting
in hot surfaces on the side walls. This is normal and does not need any servicing.
Please pay attention while touching these areas.

FREEZER OPERATION
Temperature adjustment
The temperature of the freezer is adjusted by means
of the knob assembled on the thermostat, position
„MAX” being the lowest temperature.
The achieved temperatures can vary according to the
conditions of use of the appliance, such as: place of
the appliance, ambient temperature, frequency of lid
opening, extent of filling with food of the freezer. The
position of the thermostat knob will change according
to these factors. Normally, for an ambient
temperature of approx. 220C, the thermostat should
be adjusted to the position.
We recommended that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the
Freezer is kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very
quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from
the freezer.
Please remember each time the lid is opened cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the lid open and ensure it is closed: immediately
after Food is put in or removed.
Indicator lights
The indicator light set is placed on the front side of the freezer for easy visibility.
By using the Thermostat Adjustment Knob (1), you can adjust the internal temperature of
the freezer.
Indicator lights mean the following:
-green LED –shows that the appliance is supplied with electric energy.
- red LED –lights if the temperature in the freezer is too high. The LED will operate 45
minutes after putting into operation of the freezer, then it must go off. If the LED comes
on during the operation, this may mean that a defect has occured.
-orange LED - fast freeze function activated - by setting the knob to Superfreeze position
the orange led goes on, showing that the appliance entered into the "fast freeze" mode.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepackaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer’s instructions for a freezer compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed “Use By”, “Best Before” dates on the packaging.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD
Place fresh food to be frozen near the side walls to ensure fast freezing and away
from already frozen food, if possible.
Place the knob to super frost position. The Superfrost lamp comes on. Wait 24
hours. Before placing the fresh food in the freezer do not forget to change the knob
into previous position.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.
The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen right through to the centre
as quickly as possible.
Take special care not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.

Figures that take place in this instruction manual are schematic and may not
correspond exactly with your product. If the subject parts are not included in the
product you have purchased, then it is valid for other models.
Fluids can leak from foods placed in your freezer without wrapping or with damaged
wrapping. The leaking fluids can corrode your freezer’s metal surfaces, warp its
plastic surfaces, and lose its hygiene conditions (leading to odour and bacterial
formation). Therefore, store your food completely sealed with the types of wrapping
recommended in your freezer’s user manual. To avoid damaging your freezer and
its metal surfaces, store acidic foods (peeled fruit, tomatoes, citrus fruits, etc.) and
salted foods (smoke meat, salted fish, salted cheeses, home-cooked meals, etc.) in
containers or wrapping materials suitable for freezer use.
