POSITION Place the freezer horizontally on a firm surface, resting on all four plastic feet. Use a wooden block or similar object to compensate for any bumps/holes in the surface. Temperatures of the external environment have an impact on the energy consumption of the device. [. . . ] 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. 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. The LOW FROST system does not need any maintenance or cleaning during normal use. Do not use any sharp or piercing tools, as this may damage the system. DEFROSTING The formation of frost on the inside of freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is formed when moisture contained in the air comes into contact with the cold surfaces of the freezer. Consequently, the lid should only be opened when necessary, and it should never be left open. A thin layer of ice or frost does not affect the function of the freezer adversely, and can be removed carefully using the scraper provided. IMPORTANT Never use a knife or any other sharp implement to remove frost. When the frost or ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the freezer should be defrosted. We suggest that you defrost your freezer when there is little or no food inside. Remove the contents of the freezer, wrap them in newspapers, and leave them in a cold place. The speed of defrosting can be increased by placing one or more bowls of hot (not boiling) water inside the freezer and closing the lid. Do not try to speed up defrosting by using anything other than hot water, since this may damage the freezer. IMPORTANT Remember to replace the plug in the drip water drain. HOW TO CLEAN YOUR FREEZER INSIDE Remove the plug from the mains socket, and remove all loose accessories before cleaning the freezer. The best time to clean your freezer is after defrosting and before the electricity supply is connected again.
