Your appliance must be connected only to a earthed power
socket which complies to relevant standards and has been
installed by an authorized specialist. Before your plug in your
appliance to the power socket, make absolutely sure that the
voltage and the safety fuse for the main fuse box stated on the
appliance rating plate match your electrical supply. If these do
not match, please notify the nearest service department or your
dealer immediately. The appliance must not be connected to an
inverse rectifier (i.e. solar panels)

7. Starting up the freezer
1. Switch on the freezer by turning the temperature dial to the
right
2. If quipped with a super freeze switch, turn it on.
3. Do not open the door of the freezer compartment for about 4
hours, so that the temperature in the freezer can drop to the
necessary level.
4. You can now fill the freezer with any amount of frozen
food(Food which has been bought ready frozen).
5. If you want to freeze fresh, chilled food, consult the
chapter ”freezing / storing fresh food.
Warning:
Do not store any bottle liquids in the freezer. Liquids
expand when frozen and the bottle may explode.
Never keep explosive substances or aerosol cans with
inflammable propellants such as butane, propane, pentane
etc. in the freezer. Any escaping gases could be ignited by
electrical components. Such aerosol cans can be
recognized by the list of contents or by the inflammable
symbols printed on the can itself.
When storing ready frozen food, you must follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the food packaging.
Deep frozen ice-cream must not be eaten until a few
minutes after being taken from the freezer to avoid injury to
lips and tongue. For the same reason, avoid touching the
frozen inside walls of the freezer with wet hands.
Defrosted or slightly frozen products should be used
immediately. As a rule, such products are not suitable for
re-freezing.
Packaging should be dry to avoid things freezing together.
Ready frozen foods should be stored so that they do not
come into contact with newly added foods which have not
yet frozen.
7. Instructions for the fridge
Relevant instructions can be found in one of the following
chapters.
8. Freezing / Storing fresh food
Almost all fresh products are suitable for freezing and storing in
the freezer. For the most common of these products, a storage
guide with details of acceptable storage times and the most
suitable packaging is provided.
Label fresh products clearly as they are not easy to identify
when deep frozen in transparent freezer bags. We recommend
using commercially available labels for frozen foods.
Pack fresh products in portions suitable for your needs to avoid
defrosting quantities that are too big for you to use up in one day.
Label the portions with at least the following information
Product name, weight of the portion, quantity, freezing date and
best date for using.
