Before using your freezer for the first time, pay attention to the following points:

The operating voltage for your freezer is 220-240 V at 50Hz.

The plug must be accessible after installation.

Your freezer may have an odour when operated for the first time. This is normal and will fade when it starts to cool.

Before connecting, ensure the information on the data plate (voltage and connected load) matches the mains electricity supply. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Insert the plug into a socket with an efficient ground connection. If the socket lacks a ground contact or the plug doesn’t match, consult a qualified electrician.

The appliance must be connected to a properly installed fused socket. The power supply (AC) and voltage must match the details on the name plate (located inside left).

We do not accept responsibility for damages from ungrounded usage.

Place your freezer away from direct sunlight.

Never use the freezer outdoors or expose it to rain.

Keep the appliance at least 50 cm from stoves, gas ovens, and heater cores, and at least 5 cm from electrical ovens.

Do not cover the body or top of the freezer with lace, as this affects performance.

Top clearance required can be derived from the dimensions provided in the Dimensions chapter.

Do not place heavy items on the appliance.

Clean the appliance thoroughly before use (see Cleaning and Maintenance).

Use the adjustable front legs to ensure the appliance is level and stable. Adjust by turning them in either direction before placing food inside.

Install the two plastic distance guides (on the black vanes – condenser – at the rear) by turning them 90° to prevent the condenser from touching the wall.

If positioning against a wall in a freestanding installation, install the rear spacers for maximum possible distance.

For Side by Side niche installation, refer to the Joining Kit provided with the cabinet freezer and its installation manual (NOTE: joining kit is also available separately as accessory).

When 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.

Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the freezer after cleaning.

No-frost freezers differ from static freezers. In static freezers, humidity from door openings and food causes frost build-up, requiring periodic manual defrosting.

In no-frost freezers, dry and cold air is blown homogeneously and evenly into the freezer compartment via a blower fan. This cold air circulates between the shelves, cooling food uniformly and preventing humidity build-up and freezing (frost). This offers ease of use, large capacity, and a stylish appearance.

The control panel consists of:

1. Freezer temperature set button

2. Super freeze symbol (Super freeze LED)

3. Alarm symbol (Alarm LED)

4. Freezer adjusted temperature indicator (-16, -18, -20, -22, -24)

Freezer Temperature Set Button: Press this button to set the freezer temperature. It cycles through -16 °C, -18 °C, -20 °C, -22 °C, -24 °C, and Super Freeze mode. If you keep pressing, it restarts from the last value (-16 °C unless Super Freeze was selected).

Super Freeze Mode: Press the temperature set button until the Super Freeze symbol (snowflake icon) lights up. The Super Freeze LED will illuminate during this mode. Pressing the temperature set button again will cancel the mode and restore the setting from -16 °C.

Temperature Settings: The initial setting is -18 °C. Press the button once to change the temperature. Each press decreases the set temperature. If you select Super Freeze and don’t press any button for 3 seconds, the Super Freeze symbol will blink.

The alarm activates when you first plug in the appliance or when the internal temperature is too high.

During the alarm:

The alarm indicator (triangle with exclamation mark) flashes.

The temperature indicator -24 flashes.

An acoustic alarm beeps.

Turning off the alarm:

Press any key on the control panel to turn off the beeping. The alarm indicator light will stay on until the temperature is restored.

The alarm beeping automatically turns off after 1 hour, but the alarm indicator and -24 indicator will continue flashing.

Once the appliance reaches the set temperature, the alarm beeping and indicator light turn off. Check if food inside is spoiled or thawed; if so, refer to thawing guidelines.

In case of a problem within the freezer (failure), the alarm LED will show a red light. Check if the door is open. If the door is closed and the product had worked for 1 hour, call service.

When to Use:

To freeze large quantities of food.

To freeze fast food.

To freeze food quickly.

To store seasonal food for a long time.

How To Use:

Press the temperature set button until the super freezing light (snowflake icon) comes on.

The super freezing LED will light up during this mode.

The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen within 24 hours is shown on the appliance label.

For optimal performance and maximum freezer capacity, set the appliance to active super freeze mode 24 hours before putting fresh food into the freezer.

During This Mode: If you press the temperature set button, the mode will be cancelled, and the setting will be restored starting from -16 °C. Super Freeze mode will automatically deactivate after 2-3 days to save energy.

The initial temperature of the setting display is -18 °C.

It is not recommended to operate your freezer in environments colder than 10°C for efficiency.

Do not start another adjustment while already making one.

Adjustments should be made based on the frequency of door openings, the amount of food inside, and the ambient temperature of the freezer’s location.

Allow the freezer up to 24 hours to reach the operating temperature after being connected to mains, especially if doors are opened frequently or large quantities of food are added.

A 5-minute delay function protects the compressor during power connection/disconnection or energy breakdowns. The freezer will start operating normally after 5 minutes.

The appliance is designed for ambient temperatures specified by its climate class (on the information label). Operating outside these limits may affect cooling effectiveness.

This appliance is intended for use at ambient temperatures ranging from 10°C to 43°C. Correct operation is guaranteed only within this range.

Fill the ice tray with water.

Place it in the freezer compartment.

Once the water is completely frozen, twist the tray as shown in the manual’s diagram to remove the ice cubes.

Pull the lever towards you and remove the ice maker tray.

Fill with water up to the marked level.

Hold the left end of the lever and place the ice tray on the icebox.

When ice cubes have formed, twist the lever to drop the ice cubes into the icebox.

Do not fill the icebox with water to make ice, as it will break.

The freezer compartment is marked with **** and is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

For freezing fresh food: wrap and seal it properly (packaging should be airtight and not leak). Special freezer bags, aluminum foil, polythene bags, and plastic containers are ideal.

Do not store fresh food next to already frozen food, as it can thaw the frozen food.

Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

Consume thawed frozen food within a short period after defrosting.

Never place warm food in the freezer compartment, as it will thaw the frozen food.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food.

If no information is provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months from the purchase date.

When purchasing frozen food, ensure it has been stored under appropriate conditions and the packaging is not damaged.

Transport frozen food in appropriate containers and place it in the freezer as soon as possible.

Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity or abnormal swelling; it likely deteriorated due to unsuitable storage temperature.

Storage life depends on room temperature, thermostat setting, door opening frequency, food type, and transport time. Always follow packaging instructions and do not exceed the maximum storage life.

The fast freezing shelf (bottom drawer) offers greater freezing power for home cooking or other items needing quick freezing.

The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on the appliance label.

To reach maximum freezing capacity, activate Super Freeze (SF) mode 24 hours before placing fresh food into the freezer.

After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours is generally sufficient for freezing. “Super Freeze” mode will automatically deactivate in 2-3 days to save energy.

Place your food without touching already frozen food.

Activate the “Fast Freezing” mode (likely refers to Super Freeze mode).

You can place your food next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (minimum 24 hours).

Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed to avoid health issues like food poisoning.

Allow hot food to cool completely before placing it in the freezer.

When buying frozen food, ensure it was frozen at suitable temperatures and the packing is intact.

If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you might find it difficult. This is normal. A vacuum seal forms. Once equilibrium has been reached (wait about 1 minute), the door will open easily.

Never refreeze thawed frozen food.

The taste of some spices in cooked dishes (like anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper) changes and can become strong when stored for long periods. Add only small amounts of spices to food before freezing, or add the desired spice after the food has thawed.

The storage time depends on the type of oil used. Suitable oils include margarine, calf fat, olive oil, and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.

Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups. Other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.

Meat and Fish Storage:

NOTE: Thawed frozen meat should be cooked as fresh meat. If the meat is not cooked after defrosting, it must not be re-frozen.

Vegetables and Fruits Storage:

Dairy Products and Others:

Disconnect the unit from the power supply before cleaning.

Do not wash your appliance by pouring water on it.

Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.

When finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

Ensure no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.

Clean the appliance regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.

Clean accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dishwasher.

Clean the condenser (at the rear) with a brush at least twice a year to save energy and increase productivity.

The power supply must be disconnected during cleaning.

Yes, your appliance performs automatic defrosting. The water formed passes through the water collection spout, flows into the vaporisation container behind the appliance, and evaporates there.

Make sure you have disconnected the plug before cleaning the vaporisation container.

Remove the vaporisation container from its position by removing the screws as indicated. Clean it with soapy water at specific time intervals to prevent odours.

Depending on the model, one LED strip in the freezer illuminates the interior. Some versions may not include freezer illumination.

To replace any LEDs, contact the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock. The lamps are intended for specific conditions in household appliances (e.g., temperature, vibration, humidity) or signalling operational status. They are not suitable for household room illumination.

The original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional).

Fasten your appliance with thick packaging, bands, or strong cords and follow the transportation instructions on the packaging.

Remove all movable parts (drawers, ice trays, etc.) or fix them into the appliance against shocks using bands when re-positioning or transporting.

Always carry your appliance in the upright position.

It is not possible to change the opening direction if door handles are installed on the front surface of the appliance door.

It is possible to change the opening direction on models without handles and models with handles mounted on the sides.

Please refer to the separate document provided with instructions on installation and door reversal.

CAUTION! At every stage of reversing the door, protect the floor from scratching with a durable material.

Your freezer will warn you if temperatures are improper or if a problem occurs. A red light will be released from the alarm LED in case of a problem.

Also refer to the “High temperature alarm” section for flashing indicators during high temperature warnings.

Check if:

There is power.

The plug is correctly placed in the socket.

The plug fuse or the mains fuse has blown.

The socket is faulty. Test this by plugging your freezer into a known working socket.

Check that:

You have not overloaded the appliance.

The freezer temperature is set to -16°C (or a colder setting if needed, like -18°C).

The doors are closed perfectly.

There is no dust on the condenser.

There is enough space at the rear and side walls.

Normal Noises:

Cracking (ice cracking) noise: Occurs during automatic defrosting or when the appliance material cools or warms (due to expansion).

Short cracking noise: Occurs when the thermostat switches the compressor on/off.

Motor noise: Indicates the compressor is operating normally. It might be slightly louder for a short time when first activated.

Bubbling noise and splash: Occurs due to the flow of refrigerant in the system tubes.

Water flowing noise: Occurs due to water flowing to the evaporation container during defrosting. This is normal.

Air blowing noise: Occurs in No-Frost freezers during normal operation due to air circulation.

Especially during summer (warm seasons), the surfaces in contact with the door joint may become warmer during the operation of the compressor. This is normal.

Check if:

There is food or packaging preventing the door from closing.

The door joints (gaskets) are broken or torn.

Your freezer is on a level surface.

In case of a power failure, or if unplugged and plugged back in, the gas in the cooling system will destabilise, causing the compressor protective thermal element to open. Your freezer will start operating normally after 5 minutes.

If the appliance will not be used for a long period (e.g., holidays), disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean the freezer, leaving the door open to prevent mildew and odour.

If problems persist after following instructions, consult the nearest Authorised Service Centre.

This appliance is designed for domestic use and stated purposes only. It is not suitable for commercial or common use. Misuse may void the guarantee, and the manufacturer/dealer won’t be responsible for losses.

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight and heat sources (radiator, oven). Use an insulating plate if necessary.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside.

3. Cover drinks or liquids inside. Uncovered items increase humidity, making the appliance use more energy. Covering preserves smell and taste.

4. Avoid keeping doors open for long periods or opening them too frequently, as warm air enters and causes the compressor to run often.

5. Ensure the door gasket is clean and pliable. Replace it if worn (if detachable). If not detachable, the door needs replacement.

6. Eco mode / default setting function preserves frozen foods while saving energy (usually -18°C setting).

7. The internal configuration that ensures the most efficient energy use is the one the appliance is delivered with (Frozen Compartment/Freezer).

8. Do not remove cold accumulators from the freezer basket (if present).
