The baskets are designed for the storage of food which

has already been frozen. The handles can be placed in

two positions, as shown in the drawings.
The baskets can either be placed inside the freezer or

hung on the edge of the casing.

LOW FROST SYSTEM.

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 than in a dry

climate.
Therefore you should avoid installing your freezer in very

humid surroundings. The LOW FROST system minimizes

the amount of ice caused by the natural temperature

cycle of the freezer. However, ice-build-up from other

sources is not reduced. The most important other

sources are 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 obstructed by

packs of food when closed.
If food stored in the freezer is not wrapped properly,

humidity from the food will settle as ice on the freezer

walls. Food quality will also deteriorate, so ensure that

food put in the freezer is wrapped well.
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 not use any sharp or piercing tools, as this may

damage the system.

Food must be cold before freezing (no more than room

temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and moisture-proof

packaging to prevent it from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to the cold sides of

the freezer, making sure that it is not in contact with the

frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5 mm below the top

edge. 

See under “Helpful hints”.

The freezing capacity of the freezer is stated in the data

plate (kg/24 hours). Do not exceed the amount stated - if

you do, the freezing time will be extended. The data plate is

located inside the lid.

LOCK

(Not a standard accessory for all models.) The lock works

as shown in the drawings. Remember to keep the key out

of the reach of children.

HOW TO USE

FREEZING

CAPACITY

IMPORTANT

The freezing capacity stated can be utilised to

the full occasionally to freeze large amounts of

fresh food. However, if the freezer is filled with

large amounts of food for freezing every day, the

capacity stated is reduced by about one-third.
