contained in this document.
Do not store any glass bottles with liquids, because
they increase their volume during freezing and may be
damaged. Never store explosive substances in the freezer.
Height adjustment / levelling:
In order to adjust the height or level of the freezer, it is
necessary to unscrew or screw in the feet of the appliance.
Assembly of the lock (not applicable to RCFZ-W88L):
1. Remove the tape covering the screw holes for the
catch.
2. Position the catch in the correct mounting position.

3. Set the remaining supports.
4. Slide the shelf onto the support.
FREEZING OF FRESH FOOD
1. Place the packaged fresh food in the freezer, paying
attention so that it will not come in direct contact with
already frozen products because they may defrost
and shorten their shelf-life. It is recommended that
fresh food will be placed near the wall or bottom of
the freezer, in these places it is the coldest. Do not
exceed the allowed freezer food quantity for a given
appliance (X kg / 24h).
12
Check this value in the technical data of the appliance
or on the rating plate.
2. Set the cooling power to the maximum.
3. After 24 hours it is necessary to change the location
of the frozen food so that it will be possible to freeze
other products.
4. Set the cooling power which will be appropriate for
filling of the freezer.
5. It is possible to check the temperature inside the
appliance, for example with a thermometer which
scale allows to measure temperatures lower than –
20°C. The temperature of food storage in the freezer
should be at least – 18°C.
SWITCHING ON THE APPLIANCE
1. Close the appliance door.
2. Connect the appliance plug to the power supply. The
appliance will start normal operation and the power
light will switch on but the cooling will start only

SELECTION OF TEMPERATURE SETTINGS
In order to turn on: turn the temperature adjustment knob
on the right to the level (other than 0) which is required:
• minimum (light cooling)
• maximum (lowest temperature)
The temperature should be set depending on:
• ambient temperature
• quantity of stored food
• opening frequency
MAXIMUM FILLING HEIGHT OF THE FREEZER
Never fill the freezer until the edge being in contact with
the cover. Always keep the distance between the cover and
the frozen products.
Set the temperature adjustment knob depending on the
filling of the freezer.
DEFROSTING
Under normal conditions of use (3-4 openings per day), the
freezer should be defrosted once or twice a year (in case
of more frequent opening the freezer should be defrosted
more often).
The appliance must be defrosted especially when the
thickness of the ice layer on its walls will be about 5-7 mm.
Ice layers on the internal walls of the appliance reduce its
efficiency.
Layers of ice can be scraped with a plastic scraper. Do not
use metal things to scrap ice from the appliance.
Warning! Never use electrical appliances to defrost freezers
(e.g. hair dryer) or open flames (e.g. candles). The plastic
parts of the interior can melt and the emanate vapours can
inflame through sparks or a flame.
In order to defrost it is necessary to proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the appliance plug is removed from the
socket.
2. It is recommended to use a plastic bowl or other
sealed container to collect leaking water in the
course of defrosting.
3. Make sure that the hands are dry in the course of
performing subsequent activities in order to avoid
damages caused by a negative temperature (use of
gloves is recommended).
4. Remove the frozen products and make sure that the
water melting from them will not cause any danger
or damages. It is recommended to place them in
a sealed container.
5. (Not applicable to RCFZ-W88L) Using a flat tool,
lever up and remove the stopper from the bottom of
the freezer.
6. (Not applicable to RCFZ-W88L) Pull out manually the
plug located in the front bottom part of the freezer,
provide a suitable container for the water flowing
out.
7. It is recommended to scrape the thickest layers of
ice.
8. If necessary, defrosting can be accelerated by
inserting a dish with warm water dish (not boiling or
hot!) into the freezer.
9. Wait until the ice from the inside of the freezer is
melted, in the course of defrosting it is possible to
remove the water from the inside of the freezer with
a sponge.
11. Before using the appliance again, clean the inside of
the appliance.
Rev. 23.11.2017
12. Plug the holes (on the bottom of the freezer and in
its front bottom part) with stoppers.
13. Close the cover / door and connect the appliance to
the power supply.
14. Set the cooling power to the maximum.
15. Insert products to be frozen into the freezer.
16. After about 4-6 hours or when the red light
("Running", except the model RCFZ-W88L) turns off,
set the cooling power appropriately to the filling of
the freezer.
INTERIOR LIGHTING
For RCFZ-98, RCFZ-152, RCFZ-197, RCFZ-252, RCFZ-560,
RCFZ-459, RCFZ-368

cleaning powders, agents with alcohol content, thinners,
diluents, etc., and do not allow water to enter the freezer
interior. Never immerse the appliance, cord or plug in water
or any other liquid. It is forbidden to clean the device with
a water jet. The interior of the device should be cleaned
with a disinfectant suitable for the food industry. To clean,
use a damp, soft cloth and then dry thoroughly. Dry the
surface with a soft, dry cloth. The following actions should
be taken if the machine is not used for a long period of
time: Disconnect the appliance completely from the power
supply and remove all food products from it. Then wash the
entire appliance with a damp, soft cloth and mild cleaning
agent, rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly, for some
time leave the door open, so that the appliance will be
