Before using your freezer
• 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.
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.
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.
