Introduction
Model FZ40 with a solid insulated door or GFZ40 with a glass door.
Congratulations on our new freezer, we feel certain that it will
serve ou well for man ears ahead. To obtain maximum benefit
and efficienc from our freezer, please read the following
instructions carefull and act accordingl
INSTALLATION
1. Upon receiving the freezer, check for an damage that ma
have occurred during transit. If there is, please contact our

2. Place the freezer on an even flat surface and use the
adjustable feet for levelling.
3. Do not site the freezer close to heat sources such as cookers
or radiators and do not expose to strong sunlight. The glass
door freezer must never be placed in direct sunlight – Please

in the glass door freezer.
4. The freezer is equipped with a condenser on the rear side and
we recommend to have the condenser cleaned with a soft
brush each second month.
5. To minimize operating costs and maximise the life of the
compressor it is essential to allow good ventilation at the rear.
A clearance of 100mm is recommended
6. The cleaner has alread been cleaned at the factor , but we
recommend ou to clean it again using a solution of 1Tsp of
Sodium Bicarbonate to 0.5ltr of warm water. DO NOT CLEAN
THE GLASS DOOR WITH ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR
MATERIALS!

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This freezer is equipped with a fixed plug. If the plug does not fit
the socket, ou must contact our supplier immediatel or contact a
suitabl qualified person to change it. The installation of a new plug
should onl be carried out b someone qualified and carr ing all
necessar safet certificates. If the power cord is damaged in an
wa it should be replaced b the supplier to avoid a hazard.
WARNING!!
T is Freezer Must Be Eart ed!!
Plug the mains lead into a socket which will suppl the voltage
230v/50Hz. Variations in the mains voltage of +/- 10% are
allowed, but major variations will reduce the lifetime of the
compressor.
If there is an doubt about the installation, we recommend a
qualified electrician should check it and confirm that it is operating
satisfactoril and has not been damaged in transit.

CONTROL PANEL
The control panel comprises of the following elements:
•Green mains suppl light. This must alwa s be on
•Thermometer which shows the temperature inside the freezer
•Thermostat knob to adjust the temperature in the freezer. To
decrease the temperature, turn the knob clockwise
•Freezers with an internal fan motor are equipped with a door
switch which cuts out the fan motor b opening the door
(standard for glass door model)
•Internal light will be equipped with an On/Off switch to turn
off the light during the night (Normall standard for glass door
model)
OPERATING
The FZ40 can be used to freeze down fresh food as well as to store
frozen food, whereas the GFZ40 is a conservator which ma onl
be used for storing frozen food.
•Before use, the interior of the freezer should be cleaned b
using a solution of 1 tsp Sodium Bicarbonate to 0.5ltr water.
Do not clean the glass door with abrasive cleaning agents or
materials!
•If the freezer has been exposed to ver low ambient
temperatures, do not switch on the freezer until the
compressor temperature is estimated to be at least +10˚C
•Alwa s ensure that the contents do not impede the free air
circulation (for the fan assisted GFZ40) as this ma lead to
excessive differences between the upper and lower parts of
the freezer
•You are advised to adjust the thermostat according to the
ambient conditions of our freezer. (25˚C approx-Thermostat
pos. 4 and 30˚C approx-Thermostat pos. 5
•We alwa s recommend that ou alwa s pack fresh food as
well as frozen in air tight plastic/plastic bags
•Fresh food should alwa s be placed so that it has contact with
the freezing shelves
•If the freezing shelves are equipped with a wire cover, it can
be opened b lifting it and pulling towards ou.

FROZEN FOOD STORAGE
Pre-packed commerciall frozen food should be stored in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions for a 3 Star food
storage compartment. (Conservation temperature 18˚C). To
ensure that qualit is maintained, the following should be
remembered: Place packets in freezer as soon as possible after
purchase, if there are instructions on the packet, follow these with
regard to storage times. The storage life of food varies and the
recommended storage times should not be exceeded.
IMPORTANT: If a substantial temperature rise occurs in the frozen
food, then storage life ma be reduced and the storage time stated
ma no longer appl . This ma occur:
•During defrosting
•Due to non compliance with the manufacturers instructions
•Due to factors such as electric power failures or faults
DEFROSTING
As time goes on frost will build up on the freezing shelves in certain
areas. The amount of frost on the shelves will reduce the capacit
of the freezer and increase the internal temperature. This frost
should be scraped awa periodicall using a wooden or plastic
scraper or a stiff bristle brush. It is recommended this is done
when the thickness of the frost is approaching 5-10mm or a
minimum of 4 times per ear so the inner bod of the freezer can
be cleaned. Choose a time when stock in the freezer is low and
proceed as follows:
•Place the frozen goods at a cold place (in another freezer) or
wrap them in insulating material
•Take awa the small white drain knob at the bottom of the
freezer
•Turn the black knob at the centre of the louvered plate
outwards and place a flat dish under the drain tube for
collection of defrosted water
•Turn the thermostat knob anticlockwise to position stop, open
the door and wait for the temperature to naturall adjust so
that the ice on the freezing shelves will melt loose.
NEVER USE METAL OR SHARP TOOLS AS A SCRAPER

TROUBLESHOOTING
In the case of operation disturbances, please check the following:
•Is the freezer connected to the mains?
•Is the mains suppl intact? (blown fuse etc.)
•Has the freezer recentl been filled with fresh food, or has the
door been opened for extended periods?
•Is the thermostat set correctl ?
•Is the door properl closed and sealed?
•Is the frost la er on the shelves too thick? If Yes, unplug the
freezer and start a manual defrost
•Is the circulation of air unimpeded? For GFZ40 – Is the
internal fan motor running?
LOADING OF FREEZER SHELVES
We recommend loading the freezing shelves as evenl as possible.
The maximum load per shelf is 30Kg approx.
