INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR MODEL:
SCFF-55
ALL-FREEZER
IMPORTANT
If you bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with a lock
that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is
broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock themselves
inside the appliance and suffocate.
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply.
If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very
likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing (only a
qualified technician should repair it), cleaning and before replacing the
light bulb.
Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.
Before throwing away your old freezer please remove the doors and
leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
.
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance
When your appliance finally wears out, dispose of it. If the appliance
has a lock, break it to prevent eventual accidents (the danger of
children getting locked inside the appliance).
The freezing system of the appliance is filled with refrigerant and
insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed,
you should call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized
servicing center if they cannot be contacted call your local authorities or
your distributor to remove the freezer. Be careful not to damage the
tubes on the rear wall of the appliance (danger of pollution).
Instructions for Use
PLACING AND INSTALLATION
It is important to make sure the appliance is leveled evenly to prevent falling.
Two spacers attached to the appliance must be fitted onto the upper edge of
the condenser, thus preventing the appliance from being installed too close to
the wall. Spacers are manufactured for all-purpose functions depending on the
distance of the condenser from the wall. Therefore turn spacers correspondingly
and adjust them accordingly to the appliance.
Connection to Power Supply
Connect the appliance with the cable and plug to the power supply socket outlet
with a ground terminal (safety socket).
“DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.”
Required nominal voltage and frequency are indicated on the rating plate.
The connection to the power supply and grounding has to be made according to
current standards and regulations. The appliance resists temporary voltage
tolerance up to -15 to 10%.
Operation Control
The freezer is controlled with a thermostat knob located in the upper right
hand corner of your refrigerator.
Temperature Selection
Higher settings on the knob (towards 7) mean colder temperatures in
all compartments of the appliance. The temperature in the interior of the
appliance may even drop below 32°F. Use the higher thermostat setting
only when required or recommended. We recommend that you set your
thermostat in the middle for standard temperature.
Changing the thermostat will affect the temperature inside of the
appliance; therefore choose your temperature wisely.
When the thermostat is on the STOP (0) position the appliance does
not operate.
Temperature in the freezer also depends on how often you open the door.
Instructions for Use
Storing Fresh Foods
Food to be stored in the freezer should be properly packed as to
prevent mixing various moisture degrees and odors (in
polyethylene bags or sheet, aluminum foil, wax paper, covered
containers or bottles).
Never store any inflammable, volatile or explosive
substances.
Food should not touch the rear wall of the freezer.
Some organic solutions like volatile oils in lemon and orange
peel, acid in butter etc. can cause damages when in contact with
plastic surfaces or gaskets for a long period of time.
An unpleasant odor inside the freezer is a sign that something is
wrong with the food or that your freezer needs cleaning. Odors
may be eliminated or reduced by washing the interior of the
freezer with a mild solution of water and vinegar. We also
recommend using activated carbon filters to clean the air or to
neutralize odors.
If you plan on taking a long trip make sure you remove all
perishable food before you leave to prevent any odors.
Instructions for Use
Self-defrosting
There is no need to defrost the freezer, because this appliance is
self-defrosting.
Cleaning the Appliance
Disconnect the power supply before cleaning the appliance. Do not use
coarse or aggressive cleaning agents as you can damage the surface.
Clean the exterior with water and a mild detergent. Varnished surfaces
are cleaned with soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaning agent (for example
glass cleaners). You may also use stainless steel cleaner if you have a
stainless steel model.
Remove the detachable accessories in the interior of the appliance and
clean it with water and liquid detergent. Plastic parts cannot be washed in
a washing machine.
Wash the interior of the appliance with lukewarm water, in which you
add one or two spoonfuls of vinegar.
Switch Off the Appliance When Not in Use
If you do not intend to use the appliance for an extensive period of time set
the thermostat knob to the STOP (0) position and disconnect the power
supply. Then take out the food and clean the appliance. Leave the door
slightly open.

Instructions for Use
Noise
During the operation of the compressor, a liquid noise is heard and when
the compressor is not operating a refrigerant flow is heard. This is a
normal condition and it has no influence whatsoever on the lifetime of the
appliance.
After starting the appliance, the operation of the compressor and the
refrigerant flow may be louder and this does not mean something is
wrong with the appliance. The noise will reduce gradually, this will
not affect the lifetime of the appliance.
Sometimes unusual and strong noises occur which is rather unusual for the
appliance. This noise is often a consequence of inadequate placing. To
avoid the noise make sure the appliance is placed and leveled firmly on a
solid base. Make sure the appliance is not touching the wall or kitchen
units standing next to it. And always make sure you check the
accessories in the interior of the appliance; they should be placed correctly
in their positions. Check the bottles, tins and other vessels that might touch
each other and rattle.
Before Calling for Service
Check the plug and fuse.
Test the outlet with a lamp
Be sure the control is not set to OFF
Read the manual, especially the items under the Use and Care sections.
