Saving energy
• Locate the freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer.
Overloading the freezer forces the compressor to run longer.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Do not line the storage basket with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer less efficient.
• Do not pack food packages close together as this prevents air circulating.
• Organise and label food to reduce lid openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the lid as soon as possible.
High temperature alarm
• If the temperature inside the cabinet is rising to above –8°C and lasts for 36 hours,
the high temperature alarm symbol will illuminate (in red) on the display.
Power failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature inside your freezer, if you minimise the number of times the lid is
opened. However, if the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you
need to take proper steps to protect your food.
• Do not refreeze frozen food without checking its condition first. If in doubt, discard
the food. Do not refreeze food that has thawed completely.
• The appliance has a power cut memory, which will ensure that the appliance starts
to work again to the set parameters once the power has been restored.
Going away?
• Short vacation: Leave the freezer operating during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation: If you are not going to use the freezer for longer periods, remove all
food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent
odour and mould growth, leave the lid open slightly, blocking it open, if necessary.
CAUTION:
Restrict children’s access to the room with the open freezer to avoid
creating a child entrapment risk.
Moving the freezer
• Once the freezer is running, do not move it under normal circumstances.
• When you must move the freezer, please ensure it is disconnected from the power
supply. Remove all food from inside the freezer, securely tape down the baskets and
tape the lid shut. Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material.
Use the two roll wheels at the right front and back corners of the appliance to help
you move it, but do not tilt the freezer more than 45°. Make sure the freezer stays
secure in the upright position during transportation.
