4Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the fridge/
freezer check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted for
perfect levelling.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under “CLEANING AND CARE.”
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
Avoid accidental disconnection by
taping over the switch. Green and red
lights will glow and the compressor
will start running.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running or
not which is quite normal.
6. If you are going to store already
frozen food open the freezer door
and check that the fast-freeze switch
is at off (the amber light will not come
on). The red light will go out when
the freezer has reached the correct
temperature. Then you can put in
your already frozen food.
7. If you are going to freeze fresh food,
you must press the fast-freeze
switch. The amber light will come
on and you must wait at least three
hours before putting in your fresh
food to be frozen.
8. Slight undulation of the top of the
cabinet is quite normal due to the
manufacturing process used, so do
not worry, it is not a defect.
9. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
are designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
10. We recommend that you set
the thermostat knob at 3 and
monitor the temperature to ensure
the appliance maintains desired
storage temperatures (see
section Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
11. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer
(see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Important Notes :
1. If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
16.5 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and
either eaten immediately or cooked
and then re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult
to open just after you have closed
it, don’t worry. This is due to the
pressure difference which will equalise
and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
3. Always wrap food using a suitable
packaging material before storing
in your appliance to avoid contact
with the appliance surface and food
remains for hygiene reasons.

Temperature Control And Adjustment
Indicator Lights
There are three coloured indicator
lights located on the front of the
appliance which shows the operating
mode of the freezer.
Green Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the appliance is
connected to the mains and will glow
as long as electricity is available.
Amber Indicator (2)
This indicator will glow when the fast
freeze switch (4) is on and will continue
to glow until the fast freeze switch is
turned off. The compressor will run
continuously while fast freeze switch is
on. Fast freeze operation is for freezing
fresh food.
Red Indicator (3) Illuminates:
a. If the pre-set temperature can not
be maintained.
b. If excessive amounts of fresh food
are placed inside.
c. If the appliance door is left open
accidentally.
Temperature is controlled by the
thermostat which is located on the
rear wall of the cabinet.Thermostat
knob is located on the indicator light
set. “Number 4” is the coldest setting
The normal storage temperature of
your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F).
Lower temperatures may be obtained
by adjusting the thermostat knob
towards 'number 4 ' position.
We recommend that you check the
temperature with a thermometer to
ensure that the storage compartments
are kept to the desired temperature.
Remember you must take your reading
very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly
after you remove it from the freezer.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is put
in or removed.

EN
16
Important:
When you press the fast freeze switch,
there may be a short delay before the
compressor starts to operate. This
is normal and does not indicate a
compressor fault.
Please remember each time the door
is opened cold air escapes and the
internal temperature rises. Therefore
never leave the door open and ensure
it is closed immediately after food is put
in or removed.
Freezing Fresh Food
Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at
any one time. The quality of the food
is best preserved when it is frozen
right through to the core as quickly as
possible.
Do not exceed the freezing capacity
of your appliance in 24 h which is 10
kg (22 lb)
Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the refrigeration
compressor to operate continuously
until the food is frozen solid.
If you are going to freeze fresh food
in excess of 2kg. (4.5 lb) turn the
thermostat knob to the fast freeze
position and wait for about 24 hours
before placing the fresh food in the
freezer.
Remember to turn the thermostat
knob back to its previous position
once food has frozen.
It is recommended to place fresh food
to be frozen in fast freeze compartment
of the freezer.
Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
Operating temperatures are controlled
by the thermostat knob (see diagram)
located on the inner side wall of the
freezer compartment. Settings may
be made from 1, 2 ... fast freeze, fast
freeze being the coldest position.
When the appliance is switched on
for the first time, the thermostat knob
should be adjusted so that after 24
hours, the average freezer temperature
is no higher than -18°C (0°F). We
recommend you set the knob half way
between the 1 and 4 setting. Lower
temperatures may be obtained by
adjusting setting knob towards fast
freeze position.
We recommend that you check
the temperature with an accurate
thermometer to ensure that the storage
compartments are kept to the desired
temperature.
Remember you must take your reading
very quickly since the thermometer
temperature will rise very rapidly after
you remove it from the freezer.

EN
17
Defrosting
Your appliance defrosts automatically.
Warnings!
The fan inside the freezer compartment
circulates cold air. Never insert any
object through the guard. Do not allow
children to play with the freezer fan.
Never store products that contain
inflammable propellant gas
(eg dispensers, spray cans etc.) or
explosive substances.
Don’t cover the shelves with any
protective materials, which may
obstruct air circulation.
Do not allow children to play with the
appliance or tamper with the controls.
Do not obstruct the freezer fan
guard to ensure that you obtain the
best possible performance from your

How to Freeze Fresh Foods
• Foods to be frozen must be divided
into portions according to a size to
be consumed, and frozen in separate
packages. In this way, all the food
should be prevented from being re-
frozen by thawing.
• In order to protect the nutritional
value, the aroma and the color of
the foods as much as possible,
vegetables should be boiled for a
short period of time before freezing.
(Boiling is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.) Cooking
time of the vegetables frozen in this
way is shortened by 1/3 than that of
the fresh vegetables.
• To extend the storage times of frozen
foods, boiled vegetables must first
be filtered and then hermetically
packaged as in the all types of foods.
• Foods should not be placed in
the freezer compartment without
package.
• The packaging material of the food
to be stored should be air-tight, thick
and durable and should not deform
with cold and humidity. Otherwise,
the food that is hardened by freezing
might pierce the package. Sealing
the package well is also important in
terms of securely storing the food.
The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment
paper,cellophane (gelatin paper),
garbage bag, used bags and shopping
bags.
• Hot foods should not be placed in the
freezer compartment without cooling.
• When placing unfrozen fresh foods in
the freezer compartment, please note
that it does not contact with frozen
foods. Cool-pack (PCM) (if any) can
be placed to the rack immediately
below the quick freezer rack for
preventing them from being getting
warm.
• During the freezing time (24 hours) do
not place other food to the freezer.
• Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading them
so that they will not be cramped (it
is recommended that the packaging
does not come into contact with
each other).
• Frozen foods must be immediately
consumed in a short period of time
after defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
• We recommend you to attach a label
onto the package and write the name
of the foods in the package and the
freezing time.
Foods suitable for freezing:
• Fish and seafood, red and white
meat, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbaceous spices, dairy products
(such as cheese, butter and strained
yoghurt), pastries, ready or cooked
meals, potato dishes, souffle and
desserts.

Foods not suitable for freezing:
• Yoghurt, sour milk, cream,
mayonnaise, leaved salad, red radish,
grapes, all fruits (such as apple, pears
and peaches).
• For foods to be frozen quickly and
thoroughly, the following specified
amounts per package should not be
exceeded.
-Fruits and vegetables, 0.5-1 kg
-Meat, 1-1.5 kg
• A small amount of foods (maximum
2 kg) can also be frozen without the
use of the quick freezing function.
To obtain the best result, apply the
following instructions:
1. Switch the adjusting knob
to FAST FREEZE position 24 hours
before placing your fresh foods.
2. 24 hours after turning the
thermostat knob, place your food
that you want to freeze in front of the
middle drawer with higher freezing
capacity. If you have food remained,
place them in the middle rear of the
drawer.
3. Do not forget to turn the
thermostat knob to its previous
position, after placing your food.
4. Do not try to freeze a large
quantity of food at a time. Within 24
hours, this product can freeze the
maximum food quantity specified as
«Freezing Capacity … kg/24 hours»
on its type label. It is not convenient to
put more unfrozen/fresh foods to the
freezer compartment than the quantity
specified on the label.
• You can review the Meat and Fish,
Vegetables and Fruits, Dairy Products
tables for placing and storing your
foods in the deep-freezer.
Recommendations for
Preservation of
Frozen Foods
• While purchasing your frozen foods,
make sure that they are frozen at
appropriate temperatures and their
packages are not broken.
• Put the packages on the freezer
compartment as soon as possible
after purchasing them.
• Make sure that the expiration
date indicated on the packaging
is not expired before consuming
the packaged ready meals that
you remove from the freezer
compartment.
Deep Freezer Information
The EN 62552 standard requires
(according to specific measurement
conditions) that at least 4.5 kg of food for
each 100 liter of freezer compartment
volume can be frozen
at a room temperature of 25°C in 24
hours.
Defrosting the frozen foods
Depending on the food diversity and
the purpose of use, a selection can be
made between the following options for
defrosting:
• At room temperature (it is not very
suitable to defrost the food by leaving
it at room temperature for a long
time in terms of maintaining the food
quality)
• In the refrigerator
• In the electrical oven (in models with
or without fan)
• In the microwave oven

CAUTION:
• Never put acidic beverages in glass
bottles and cans into your freezer due
to the risk of explosion.
• If there is moisture and abnormal
swelling in the packaging of frozen
foods, it is likely that they were
previously stored in an improper
storage condition and their contents
deteriorated. Do not consume these
foods without checking.
• Since some spices in cooked
meals may change their taste when
exposed to long-term storage
conditions, your frozen foods should
be less seasoned or the desired
spices should be added to the foods
after the thawing process.
