Cover lock
If your chest freezer is equipped with a Iock, the
key should not be kept within reach of children
or near the appliance so that children cannot lock
themselves inside.
The role of the pressure
equalisation valve (not included
with all models)
(Fig. 10.)
The pressure equalisation valve installed in your
machine performs automatically the elimination
of the pressure difference which otherwise 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 arranged in the rear wall of the deep freezer
box.
For a safe operation, keep the two openings of
the valve free, do not cover them!
LOW FROST SYSTEM
(not included with all models)
The patented LOW FROST System reduces the
ice-build-up in the chest freezer by up to 80
percent, which results in up to five times longer
periods between the requirement to defrost.
To get the full benefit of the system, please
observe the following points:
The amount of ice-build-up in any freezer is very
much dependent of the moisture of the
surrounding air. The ice will build up quicker in a
humid climate th an in a dry climate. Therefore
you should avoid installing your freezer invery
humid surroundings.
The LOW FROST system minimizes the amount
of ice caused by the natural te mperature cycle
of the freezer. Howeve r, ice-build-up from other
sources is not reduced. The most important other
sources a re poorly wrapped food and warm air
introduced when the lid is opened. Therefore, it
is important to ensure that the lid isn’t opened
unnecessarily, and the lid is not obst ru cted by
packs of food when closed.
If food sta red in the freezer is not wrapped p
roperl y, humidity from the food will settie as ice
on the freezer walls. Food quality will also
deteriorate, so ensure that food put in the freezer
is wrapped weil.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The LOW FROST system does not need any
maintenance or cleaning during normal use. If
needed the pipe can be wiped with a soft cloth.
Do n ot use any sharp or piercing tools, as this
may damage the system.
