Setting up
Connecting to the mains
• Avoid positioning the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers,
radiators and similar sources of heat.
Power supply (a.c.) and voltage at the operating point must comply
with the details on the type plate.The socket must be fused with a
10 A fuse or higher, it must be away from the rear of the appliance
and must be easily accessible.
• The floor on which the appliance stands must be horizontal and
level. Place the appliance far enough away from the wall so that
the lid can be opened and closed unhindered.
Connect the appliance with a properly earthed fused plug
and socket only.

Do not cover the gap between the
lower edge of the freezer and the
floor, as the refrigeration unit has
to be supplied with air for cooling.

next to the outer housing of the
appliance. There must be a gap of
at least 20 mm all round in order to
ensure adequate heat discharge.

- The red alarm lamp comes
on. The red alarm lamp goes
out as soon as the freezer
compartment is cold enough.
• Standard EN 378 specifies that the room in which you install your
appliance must have a volume of 1 m3 per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant
used in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of inflammable
gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance is located in the
event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit.The quantity of refrigerant
used in your appliance is indicated on the type plate.
To switch the appliance off:
Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
Setting the temperature
• Do not connect the appliance to the supply with other equipment
using an extension cable - risk of overheating.
Using a coin, turn the arrow on the
temperature control to a setting be-
tween 2 und 7.
Dimensions (mm)
Setting 2 = lowest cooling setting
Setting 7 = highest cooling set-
ting, cold
For long-term storage of frozen
food a temperature of at least
-18 °C is recommended.

check:
Saving energy
- Alwaysensuregoodventilation.Donotcoverventilationopenings
or grille.
- whether there has been a
lengthy interruption to the
power supply,
- Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a
stove, heater or similar object.
- The energy consumption depends on the installation conditions,
e.g. the ambient temperature.
- whetherthelidisproperlyshut,
- whether fresh food has re-
cently been inserted.
- Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
- Store food logically.
If none of the above apply, consult your nearest customer service
department as soon as possible, giving details of the type of ap-
pliance, index and appliance number.
- Ensure that all food is well packed and covered for storage.This
will prevent frost from forming.
- First cool warm food to room temperature before storing it.
- If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the appli-
ance.

Freezing
Equipment
Interior light
Fresh food should be frozen to the
core as rapidly as possible. This is
provided by the "Superfrost" facility.
The interior light switches on automatically when the lid is opened
and switches off again when it is closed.
Bulb data: 15 W (never use a bulb rated at more than 15 W).
The voltage should agree with the details on the type plate. Bulb
fitting: E 14.
The maximum amount of food wich
can be frozen in 24 hours is shown
onthetypeplate(Freezingcapacity
...kg/24 hours).
Replacing the bulb:
Pull out the mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
- Remove the cover panel in the direction of the arrow.
- Change the bulb.
NB: The upper stacking limit is the top level of the basket!
If the chest is loaded up to a maximum of 300 mm below the top
level of the basket, the appliance can be set to the "economy" set-
ting. This setting reduces the amount of power consumed by your
chest freezer even further.
- Replace the cover panel.
The temperature should in any case be set so that if you place
a thermometer on the top of the frozen food it reads at least
-18 °C.

Baskets
The baskets make it easier for you to sort food.
The baskets at the top can be suspended in
the frame of the freezer by their
handles.Thebasketsunderneath
stand on the floor of the freezer
or on the inward-facing handles
of the very bottom basket. Press
the handle downwards, lift and
tilt inwards.
You should not switch on the Superfrost function:
- when placing frozen food in the freezer;
- when freezing up to approx. 2 kg fresh food daily.
Notes on freezing and storage
• Packfoodwhichyouarefreezingyourselfinquantitiesappropriate
to your household.To ensure that the food freezes right through,
the following quantities should not be exeeded per package:fruit,
vegetables: up to 1 kg, meat: up to 2,5 kg.
Lock
If your appliance has no lock fitted,
you can fit one retrospectively (except model GTS 1412, GT 2102,
GTS 2112).
• In order to achieve fast freezing, food should be in contact with
the interior walls when it is placed in the freezer.
• Pack frozen food in standard freezer bags or reuseable plastic,
metal or aluminium containers.
• Do not allow fresh food which is to be frozen to come into contact
with food already frozen. Always keep packs dry in order to avoid
them sticking together.
Freezing chart
This is located on the inside of the freezer lid.
The freezing chart represents the frozen food and the time it can
be safely stored in months.
• Always write the date and contents on the pack and do not exeed
the stated storage time for the food.
The individual storage times and whether or not the lower or upper
value is applicable depend on the food quality, its processing prior
tofreezing,andtheindividualhousehold'squalityrequirements.The
lower values always apply to food with a high fat content.
• Do not freeze bottles and cans which contain carbonated drinks
as they might burst.
• Onlytakeoutasmuchfoodasisimmediatelyrequiredforthawing.
Use food which has been thawed in prepared meals as quickly
as possible.
Frozen food can be thawed in the following ways:
– in a fan oven
– in a microwave oven
– at room temperature
– in the refrigerator: the cold given off by the frozen food is used for
cooling.

Cleaning
Freezer tray
Before cleaning always switch off the appliance. Pull out the
(depending on options)
mains plug or remove/unscrew the fuse.
You can use the freezer tray
to gently freeze fruit (e.g. ber-
ries or slices of fruit), herbs
and vegetables for serving or
garnishing.Spreadthefoodout
loosely on the tray (the pieces
offruitwillretaintheirshapeand
will not stick together).
Clean the inside, equipment parts and outer walls with lukewarm
water and a little detergent. Do not use abrasive or acid cleaners
or chemical solvents.
Do not use steam cleaners because of the risk of injury and
damage.
• Ensure that no cleaning water penetrates into the electrical com-
ponents or ventilation grille.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• The ventilation grilles should be cleaned regularly with a brush
or vacuum cleaner. Dust deposits increase energy consumption.
Ensure that none of the wires or other components are dislodged,
bent or damaged.
Temperature display
(depending on options)
Thethermometershowsthewarm-
est frozen food temperature. It is
adjusted and designed so that
only temperatures below 0°C are
accurately displayed.
Malfunctions
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking
the possible causes yourself:
• Appliance does not function, the control lamps are not lit:
- Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
- Is the socket fuse intact?
• Loud running noise:
- Is the appliance set up firmly on the floor?
- Does the appliance cause nearby items of furniture or objects to
vibrate? Please note that noises caused by the refrigerant circuit
cannot be avoided.
Defrosting
After the appliance has been in operation for some time, a layer
of frost or ice will form on the inside walls. This increases energy
consumption.
• The temperature is not low enough:
- Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the tempera-
ture")?
You should therefore defrost the appliance regularly.
- Have excessive amounts of fresh food been placed in the appli-
ance? Observe the temperature display for a further 24 hours.
- Doestheseparatelyinstalledthermometershowthecorrectread-
ing?
• Switch the appliance off to defrost. Pull out the mains plug or
remove/unscrew the fuse.
•Wrap the frozen food in paper or blankets and store in a cool place.
• Remove the plug from the drain opening. Remove the dividing
