CHAPTER -1: GENERAL WARNINGS
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.
Before using your freezer
•
Before setting up your freezer, check for any visible damage. Do not install or use your freezer if it is
damaged.
• When using your freezer for the first time, keep it in an upright position for at least 3 hours before plugging
into the mains. This will allow efficient operation and prevents damage to the compressor.
• You may notice a light odour when using your freezer for the first time. This is perfectly normal and will fade
away as the 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.
