Important Technical Specifications:
- Refrigerant Gas: R600a. This is a flammable gas, requiring careful handling and ventilation if the refrigeration system is damaged.
- Blowing Agent: C-Pentane, used in the insulation foam, is also a flammable gas.
- Climate Class: The appliance operates reliably within specific ambient temperature ranges:
- N: +16 to +32 degrees Celsius
- ST: +16 to +38 degrees Celsius
- T: +16 to +43 degrees Celsius
- Relative Air Humidity: The manufacturer guarantees reliable operation when the relative air humidity is not greater than 70 percent.
- Electrical Connection: The appliance requires connection to an earthed socket installed in accordance with regulations, with the supply voltage matching the rating label.
- Temperature Regulation:
- Factory set temperature: -18 °C.
- F 22SM and F 27SM models: Temperature regulated on a seven-digit scale (0-7), where 0 means compressor off (but not electrically disconnected), 1 is the highest temperature (lowest cooling), and 7 is the lowest temperature (highest cooling).
- F 10SM model: Temperature regulated on a four-digit scale, where "•" means compressor off (but not electrically disconnected).
- Fast Freeze Section: Designated area (section 4) for freezing fresh food.
- Storage Compartments: Drawers (section 5) for storing frozen products.
- Minimum Gap for Frozen Products: Not less than 2.5 cm between the top of frozen products and the bottom of the drawer above them.
- Transportation Tilt Limit: Do not tilt more than 30° from the vertical position. If tilted more than 30°, wait at least 4 hours before connecting to power. If tilted more than 30° during transport, wait at least 4 hours before connecting to power.
Usage Features:
- Initial Setup: Before first use, wash the interior and accessories with lukewarm water and neutral soap, then dry thoroughly. After transport, if tilted more than 30°, wait 4 hours before connecting. For first start-up or after a period of disuse, allow the appliance to run for at least 2 hours before loading products.
- Positioning:
- Install in a dry, well-ventilated indoor area.
- Avoid excessively humid or cold areas (e.g., garages, wine cellars).
- Keep away from heat sources (stoves, radiators, direct sunlight).
- Maintain minimum distances from heat sources: 30 mm from electric/gas ovens, 300 mm from oil/coal fired ovens, 50 mm from built-in ovens. Use an insulation board if distances cannot be met.
- Ensure good air circulation around the appliance; a gap of at least 10 cm between the appliance body and any furniture is recommended to prevent overheating.
- The appliance must stand on a level surface and not touch the wall. Height can be adjusted using levelling feet.
- If placed in a corner, leave a gap for the freezer door to open sufficiently to pull out drawers.
- Door Reversal: The manual provides detailed instructions for changing the opening direction of the doors for models F 22SM, F 27SM, and F 10SM, requiring specific tools (spanners No. 8 and No. 10, head screwdriver). This procedure should be done with a helper and the freezer should not be laid horizontally.
- Food Freezing and Storage:
- Place fresh food in the fast freeze section (4).
- Transfer frozen food to storage drawers (5).
- Do not exceed the maximum amount of frozen food indicated in the product data sheet.
- Do not place unwrapped foodstuffs directly in freezer sections.
- Do not refreeze partially thawed products.
- Fresh food for freezing should not touch already frozen foodstuffs.
- Do not freeze foodstuffs warmer than room temperature.
- Do not freeze liquid foodstuffs in glass vessels or bottles.
- Observe validity dates on packaging.
- Recommended storage times: Fish and sausage (up to 6 months); cheese, poultry, pork, lamb (up to 8 months); beef, fruit, and vegetables (up to 12 months).
- In case of accidental defrosting (e.g., power failure exceeding "rising time"), consume defrosted food quickly or cook and refreeze after cooling.
- Safety Precautions:
- Keep ventilation openings clear.
- Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate defrosting other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
- Do not use electrical appliances inside food storage compartments unless recommended.
- Ensure the supply cord is not trapped or damaged.
- Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or power supplies at the rear.
