Before using your freezer
• W hen using your freezer for the first time, or after transportation,
keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging into
the mains. This allows efficient operation and prevents damage to
the compressor.
• Your freezer may have a smell when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and
the smell will fade away when your freezer starts to cool.
• This appliance is designed to work in difficult climate conditions (up to 43 °C or
110° F) and is powered with ‘Freezer Shield’ technology which ensures that
the frozen food in the freezer will not defrost even if the ambient temperature
falls as low as -15 °C. So you may then install your appliance in an unheated
room without having to worry about frozen food in the freezer being spoilt.
When the ambient temperature returns to normal, you may continue using the
appliance as usual.
Information on No-Frost Technology
No-frost freezers differ from other static freezers in their operating
principle.
In normal freezers, the humidity entering the freezer due to opening the
door and the humidity inherent in the food causes freezing in the freezer
compartment. To defrost the frost and ice in the freezer compartment,
you are periodically required to turn off the freezer, place the food that
needs to be kept frozen in a separately cooled container and remove
the ice gathered in the freezer compartment.
The situation is completely different in no-frost freezers. Dry and cold
air is blown into the freezer compartment homogeneously and evenly
from several points via a blower fan. Cold air dispersed homogeneously
and evenly between the shelves cools all of your food equally and
uniformly, thus preventing humidity and freezing.
Therefore your no-frost freezer allows you ease of use, in addition to its
huge capacity and stylish appearance.
