Before using
Temperature control
Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the
appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of
soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may
linger. Dry thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat control beyond the ÇOÈ position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting,
between 3 and 4. For easier turning of this control,
use a small coin.The internal temperature of the
freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to
ensure safe food storage.

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to
show that the appliance is on.
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher number; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower number.
D. Fast freeze light
The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the
fast freeze function is working.
Freezing fresh food
E. Alarm light
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of
fresh food.
If the alarm light (E) lights up, it indicates that the
temperature within the freezer has reached a level
where the safe food storage is no longer ensured.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to ÇSÈ 24 hours
before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light
(D) lights up).
When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light
will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a
safe level for the storage of frozen food.
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezing fresh food.
Start your appliance
This time can be shortened, depending on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the two top
compartments of the freezer as these are the coldest
parts.
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C)
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
5
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the
ÇNÈ position; the yellow light (D) goes off.
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature
depending on the time available. Small food items
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case
cooking will take longer.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the top compartments can be
used for a further freezing operation.
-
-
-
The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the
best quality.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it
can be cooked and then refrozen.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is
already frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the
freezer door remains closed.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.
Frozen food storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the Çfast
freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.
Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrapping.
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly regarding the
placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in
the oven.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more trays for
the production of ice-cubes.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in a low
temperature skin burn.
Fill the trays 3/4 full to allow the ice to expand and
place them in one of the freezer compartment.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands
are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.
Do not use sharp instruments to remove the trays
from the freezer.
To remove the cubes twist the tray slightly or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door.
The food in the freezer will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should
the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly
and must not be re-frozen.
Normal Operating Sounds
¥
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils
or tubing at the rear, to the cooling
plate/evaporator or to the fixed freezer shelves.
¥
¥
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is
being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring
sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you
will hear a faint ÕclickÕ when the thermostat cuts in
and out.
6
HINTS AND TIPS
¥
¥
¥
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight pakages before
placing them in the freezer.
Food Storage
To obtain the best performance from your freezer
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge before being transferred to
the freezer.
¥
¥
Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container
is advisable. When you arrive home place the
frozen food in the frezeer immediately.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
¥
Do not push food together too much, try to allow
air to circulate around each item.
¥
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
¥
¥
Do not store food uncovered.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated
and labelled and used in date order to ensure
that food is consumed at its best.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen
foods, keep the door closed. If the temperature
within your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the
food without checking its condition. The following
guidelines should assist you:
¥
¥
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty
food, salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airlight seal .
Ice-cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and
used up.
¥
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could
indicate that the product has not been kept at a
suitable temperature and that it may have lost its
original quality. Partially thawed food must not be
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated by the
manufacturer.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i. e. casseroles should be
refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Energy Saving Advice
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
¥
Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or radiator.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a
fresh dish.
¥
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
appliance are not obstructed.

turn the thermostat dial to the ÇOFFÈ position
(O) or disconnect the appliance from the mains.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE
POWDERS, HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING
PRODUCTS OR WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE
INTERIOR AS THESE WILL DAMAGE THE
SURFACE AND LEAVE A STRONG ODOUR.
-
Remove any food from inside the freezer , wrap it
in several sheets of newspaper and store in a
cool,dry place.
-
Leave the door open and insert the ice scraper
under the channel in the centre of the lower part
of the appliance; place a low-sided container
beneath the scraper to collect the water (see fig.).
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do
NOT use abrasive products.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grill)
