Instructions for use These instructions for use were prepared for the user. They were prepared for various types/models of appliances; therefore you might find in them descriptions of some functions and accessories that do not apply to your appliance. Tips for energy saving • Do not open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. • Check periodically if sufficient ventilation is provided (undisturbed circulation of air through the bottom rail openings). Mounting instructions Integrated appliances are equipped with instructions for mounting the appliance into the kitchen unit. [. . . ] Instead it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of thisproduct. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local city office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product. Storing time during power supply interruption Avoid opening the freezer in case of failure or power supply interruption unless the interruption is extended over longer period of time (15 hours). Disposing of the worn out appliance • When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. If the appliance has a lock, break it to prevent any accidents (danger of children getting locked inside the appliance). • The refrigeration system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and insulating substances which should be treated and processed separately. Call your nearest authorised service agent or specialised servicing centre. If you cannot find one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution). • To avoid pollution of the environment make sure not to damage the hose at the bottom of the appliance. Placing and installation Choosing the right place Place the appliance in a dry and well ventilated room. Allowed ambient temperature depends on the model (class) of the appliance and it is stated on the rating plate of the appliance. cooker, radiator, water heater and similar devices) and do not expose it to direct sunlight. The appliance should be positioned at least 3 cm away from the electric or gas cooker and at least 30 cm away from the oil or coal stove. Class SN (sub-normal) N (normal) ST (sub-tropical) T (tropical) Ambient temperature from + 10°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 32°C from + 16°C to + 38°C from + 16°C to + 43°C Connection to Power Supply Use the cable and plug to connect the appliance to the power supply socket outlet with a ground terminal (safety socket). Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate. The connections to the mains supply and earthing have to be made according to relevant standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage fluctuations of up to +/- 6 %. Adjusting the height of the appliance The appliance is equipped with four adjustable legs which allow adjusting the height in the range from 82 to 90 cm. The height must be adjusted prior to building the appliance into the opening slot, and it should be set at such height that the top panel of the appliance fits exactly below the kitchen worktop (see Mounting instructions). 4 Instructions for Use Description of the appliance Freezing compartment (1) is used for freezing fresh foods. Storing basket (2) is used for storing packages of frozen foods. Control panel (3) 1 See Operation controls 2 3 Operating the appliance A Temperature settings knob – Switching the appliance on/off – Activating the super freeze function B Signal light on: Super freeze function is activated C Signal light on: The appliance is powered (there is voltage in the appliance) D Signal light flashing: High temperature alarm Switching on the appliance Switching off the appliance Rotate the thermostat knob A clockwise towards the thicker end of the sign. When the appliance is switched on for the first time, there is a 24-hour delay in temperature alarm operation since the appliance will not have reached the adequate temperature. Thus, unnecessary activation of alarm is prevented. Rotate the A knob back to the position in which the (appliance will arrow is aligned with the symbol remain powered, i. e. there will still be electric current in the appliance). Instructions for Use 5 The signal light C will remain on. A change in the environment temperature will affect the temperature in the appliance. Positions towards the thicker part of the sign mean a lower temperature in the appliance (cooler). Settings towards the thinner part of the marking mean a higher temperature (warmer). Selecting the temperature in the appliance Recommended setting for the thermostat knob A is half way between the thinner and the thicker end of the sign. Signal light D will flash when the temperature in the freezer rises to a level that is too high, and goes off when the temperature drops back to a level that no longer represents food spoilage hazard (see section »Troubleshooting«). Freezing and storing frozen food Freezing process Maximum quantity of fresh food that can be introduced into the appliance at a time is indicated on the label with basic information on the appliance. [. . . ] When the freezer door is opened, some cool air escapes from the freezer compartment and it is replaced by warm air from the environment. When this air is cooled, a sub-pressure builds up, causing resistance to door opening. After a few minutes, the condition is normalized and the door can be easily opened again. This phenomenon is normal and is due to pressure equalisation. Ice accumulation in the freezer interior is a result of: Signal light D is flashing: Door won’t open easily: Occurrence of murmur after closing the door: If none of the above reasons seems to match your problem, please contact the nearest service center and state the type, model and serial number as indicated on the label with basic information attached in the appliance interior. Noise Cooling in refrigerating-freezing appliances is enabled by the cooling system with a compressor which produces noise. [. . . ]
