sure the appliance is placed in a cool well-ventilated room so that the air can circulate very well.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into sealed packages. Avoid keeping the
door open for a long time, as warm air will enter the cabinet and the cold air inside will leak out of the cabinet,
which will cause energy wasting. Ensure that there is no obstruction preventing the door from closing properly.
In the event of a power failure
If there is a power failure while the appliance in operation, do not open the door. If the
temperature inside your freezer should rise, causing food to defrost, do not refreeze the food.
The following guidelines will assist you:
Ice cream :Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruit and vegetables: If soft should be cooked as soon as possible.
Bread and cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked dishes: i.e. casseroles, should be refrigerated and used up.
Large pieces of meat: Can be refrozen if there are ice crystals remaining within them.
Small joints: Should be cooked and then refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should be cooked and refrozen as a fresh dish.
Trouble Shooting
Noises during Operation

Repairs to the freezer may only be conducted by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can
lead to significant hazards for users. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your
