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.
