Opsætning og installation
Udpakning
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the freezer for any damage. Report any damage to your retailer immediately. Keep packaging materials away from children.
Placering
Choose a suitable location for your chest freezer. Ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources (such as stoves, radiators), and extreme cold. Allow adequate ventilation space around the appliance (at least 10 cm on sides and back, 30 cm above). This ensures efficient operation and prevents overheating.

Første gang tændt
After placing the freezer, wait at least 2-4 hours before plugging it into a power outlet. This allows the refrigerant to settle. Plug the appliance into a dedicated, properly grounded electrical outlet. The freezer will begin to cool. Allow it to operate empty for several hours (e.g., 4-6 hours) to reach its operating temperature before loading food.

Multi-Mode Control Panel
Your Defy Multimode Chest Freezer features a control panel that allows you to switch between three operating modes: Freezer, Chiller, and Refrigerator. Refer to the markings on the control panel for specific settings. Use the dial or buttons to select your desired mode and temperature.
- Fryser tilstand: Ideal for long-term storage of frozen foods. Maintains temperatures typically below -18°C.
- Kølertilstand: Suitable for keeping items very cold but not frozen, such as fresh meat or beverages for short periods.
- Køleskabstilstand: Functions as a standard refrigerator, maintaining temperatures typically between 0°C and 5°C for fresh produce and dairy.
Using the Movable Basket
The freezer includes a movable basket designed for efficient organization of smaller or frequently accessed items. Place the basket on the designated ledge inside the freezer compartment. This helps prevent items from getting lost at the bottom of the freezer and allows for better air circulation.

When loading food, avoid blocking the air vents (if present) and ensure there is space for air to circulate. Do not overload the freezer. For optimal performance, allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them inside.
Vedligeholdelse og pleje
Rengøring af interiøret
Before cleaning, always unplug the freezer from the power outlet. Clean the interior regularly with a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or sharp objects, as these can damage the interior surfaces.
Afrimning
Frost buildup can reduce the efficiency of your freezer. Defrost the appliance when the frost layer reaches approximately 5-10 mm thickness. To defrost:
- Tag stikket ud af fryseren.
- Fjern alle madvarer og opbevar dem i en anden fryser eller køleboks.
- Lad låget stå åbent, så frosten kan smelte naturligt. Du kan lægge håndklæder i bunden for at absorbere vand.
- Når den er optøet, skal den rengøres og tørres grundigt indvendigt.
- Sæt stikket i fryseren igen, og lad den køle af, før du sætter maden tilbage.
Brug ikke skarpe genstande eller varmeapparater til at fremskynde optøningen, da dette kan beskadige apparatet.
Rengøring af ydersiden
Tør de udvendige overflader af med en blød kludampened with mild detergent and water. Dry thoroughly. Regularly clean the condenser coils at the back of the freezer (if accessible) with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to ensure efficient operation.
