What are the requirements for the installation location of the ATLANT freezer?

The freezer must be installed in a place protected from direct sunlight, at a distance of at least 50 cm from heating appliances (cookers, ovens, radiators). Free space of at least 5 cm must be provided on the sides and above for air circulation, unless otherwise specified in the operating manual of a particular model.

Is it permissible to cover the freezer ventilation openings?

No. Ventilation openings in the freezer housing or in the built-in structure must remain open. Blocking them may result in malfunction of the cooling system.

Is it allowed to install overhead equipment above the freezer?

The installation of overhead equipment above the freezer is prohibited at a distance less than the specified clearance. For most models, the minimum distance is 5 cm; for model М-7401 — not less than 20 cm.

How long should the freezer stand after transportation before switching on?

After transportation and before connection to the electrical network, the freezer must be kept for 0.5 to 1.5 hours, depending on the model. If transportation was carried out at an ambient temperature below 0 °C, the freezer should be kept for at least 4 hours at room temperature with the door open.

Under what conditions is freezer operation permitted?

Operation of the freezer is permitted at a mains voltage of 220–230 V with a deviation of no more than ±10 %, frequency 50 ±1 Hz, relative air humidity not more than 75 %, and ambient temperature from +16 °C to +38 °C.

Why do the side surfaces of the freezer become warm?

The heating of the side surfaces of the housing is due to the design features of the freezer and does not indicate a malfunction.

How should the freezer be properly leveled during installation?

The freezer must be installed horizontally by adjusting the supports. The unit must stand steadily on its supports and rollers. A slight backward tilt is permissible to ensure automatic door closing.

How should the initial cleaning of the freezer be performed before operation?

Before commencing operation, it is necessary to remove the packaging materials and wash the external and internal surfaces with a soft cloth using warm water and a mild soap or soda solution (1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 liter of water), then wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly. After that, the freezer should be carefully ventilated.

Which agents are prohibited for cleaning the freezer?

The use of abrasive sponges, abrasive pastes, polishing agents, as well as cleaning agents containing acids, solvents, and dishwashing detergents is prohibited.

How is the temperature set in the freezer?

The method of temperature setting depends on the freezer model. Different models use a rotary knob, a roller control, a temperature selection button, or an electronic control panel. The temperature adjustment range may be from -16 °C to -24 °C. Detailed information is provided in the operating manual of the specific model.

How does the “Freezing” or “Super Freezing” mode operate?

This mode is intended for freezing fresh products weighing more than 4 kg. It is recommended to activate it 24 hours before loading the products. The mode switches off automatically after 48–50 hours or manually, depending on the model.

Why does the freezer not operate and the indicators do not illuminate?

The cause may be the absence of voltage in the electrical network or lack of contact between the power plug and the socket. It is necessary to check the presence of voltage by connecting another electrical appliance and to ensure reliable plug connection.

Why does the compressor operate continuously and the temperature deviate from the norm?

Possible causes include a loosely closed door, violation of operating conditions, insufficient ventilation, or failure to observe installation clearances. It is necessary to check door closing and compliance of operating conditions with the instruction requirements.

Why is the noise level increased during freezer operation?

The noise level depends on correct installation and operating conditions. It is recommended to check the stability of the freezer, leveling of supports, and absence of contact between the housing or cooling system elements and furniture or walls.

Why does frost form inside a freezer equipped with the No Frost system?

The cause may be blocked air channels or frequent and prolonged door opening. After eliminating the causes, the frost disappears during operation of the No Frost automatic air circulation and self-cleaning system.

How often should the freezer be defrosted?

Freezers without the No Frost system are recommended to be defrosted when a dense snow layer forms, but not less than twice a year. Models with the No Frost system do not require defrosting; however, they are recommended to be cleaned at least once a year.

How should defrosting and cleaning of the freezer be properly performed?

Before defrosting, the freezer must be disconnected from the mains and the products removed. The door should be left open, and melt water should be removed as thawing progresses. After defrosting, the internal surfaces and the door gasket are cleaned with a soft cloth using warm soapy or soda solution, then wiped dry. The use of metal objects for ice removal is prohibited.
