Electrical requirements
Before inserting the plug into the wall socket
make sure that the voltage and the frequency
shown in the rating plate inside the appliance
corresponds to your electricity supply.
Ensure that the plug remains readily accessible.
Do not use multiple adapter bar or extension
cable.
Warning! This appliance must be
earthed.
Repairs to electrical equipment should only be
performed by a qualified technician. Incorrect
repairs carried out by an unqualified person
carry risks that may have critical consequences
for the user of the appliance.
Transportation
instructions
1. The appliance should be transported only
in upright position. The packing as supplied
must be intact during transportation.
2. If during the course of transport the appliance,
has been positioned horizontally, it must not
be operated for at least 4 hours, to allow the
system to settle.
3. Failure to comply with the above instructions
could result in damage to the appliance, for
which the manufacturer will not be liable for.
4. The appliance must be protected against
rain, moisture and other atmospheric influences.
Important!
• Care must be taken while cleaning/carrying
the appliance not to touch the bottom of the
condenser metal wires at the back of the
appliance, as this could cause injury to fingers
and hands.
• Do not attempt to sit or stand on top of your

You could injure yourself or damage the
appliance.
• Make sure that the mains cable is not caught
under the appliance during and after moving,
as this could damage the cable.
• Do not allow children to play with the
appliance or tamper with the controls.
Installation instructions
1. Do not keep your appliance in a room where
the temperature is likely to fall below 10 ° C
at night and/or especially in winter, as it is
designed to operate in ambient temperatures
between +10 and +43 ° C. At lower
temperatures the appliance may not operate,
resulting in a reduction in the storage life of
the food.
2. Do not place the appliance near cookers or
radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause
extra strain on the appliance's functions. If
installed next to a source of heat or freezer,
maintain the following minimum side clearances:
From Cookers 30 mm
From Radiators 300 mm
From Freezers 25 mm
3. Make sure that sufficient room is provided
around the appliance to ensure free air
circulation.
• Put the back airing lid to the back of your
refrigerator to set the distance between the
refrigerator and the wall.
4. The appliance should be positioned on a
smooth surface. The two front feet can be
adjusted as required. To ensure that your
appliance is standing upright adjust the two
front feet by turning clockwise or anti-clockwise,
until firm contact is secured with the floor.
Correct adjustment of feet prevents excessive
vibration and noise.
5. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to
prepare your appliance for use.

Instruction ManualGB

Temperature control
and adjustment
Operating temperatures are controlled by the
electronic thermostat knob and may be set any
position between MIN and MAX (coldest
position) (Fig. 2).Max position is -24 °C.
The normal storage temperature of your
appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower
temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the
thermostat knob towards Position Max.
Please remember that 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.
Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the 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. The interior is clean as recommended under
"CLEANING AND CARE."
4. The plug is inserted into the wall socket and
the electricity supply is switched on. Avoid
accidental disconnection by taping over the
switch.
And note that:
5. You will hear a noise as the compressor/fan
starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within
the refrigeration system may also make some
noise, whether the compressor is running or
not. This is quite normal.
6. If you are going to freeze fresh food, you
must press the fast-freeze button.
7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob
at -18 ° C and monitoring the temperature to
ensure the appliance maintains desired storage
temperatures (see section "Temperature control
and adjustment").
8. Do not load the appliance immediately after
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).
9. 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
equalize and allow the door to open normally
after a few minutes.
10. You will hear a vacuum sound just after
closing the door. This is quite normal.

Indicator lights
There are three coloured indicator lights located
inside the appliance which show the operating
mode of the freezer (Fig. 2).
Amber Indicator (1)
Illuminates when the fast-freeze button (4)
is depressed and stays on for 34 hrs until the
fast-freeze option is automatically de-activated;
unless the button is depressed.
Green Indicator (2)
Illuminates when the appliance is connected to
the mains and will glow as long as there is
electricity present. The green indicator does
not give any indication of the temperature inside
the freezer.
Red Indicator (3)
Red indicator light has a built-in delay.
Once swicthed on, it will not come on for
24 hours.
This indicator will glow when the internal
temperature rises above -9°C and it will
automatically de-activeted when the internal
temperature rises below -9°C
Thermostat knob (5)
The thermostat knob is located on the indicator
light frame.
Important:
When you press the fast-freeze switch, there
may be a short delay before the compressor
starts to operate. This is normal and not a
compressor fault.
- E0 blinks on display if there is a freezer sensor
failure.
- E1 blinks on display if there is a defrost sensor
failure.
Storing frozen food
Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage
of commercially frozen foods and also can be
used to freeze and store fresh food.
Important Note:
If there is a power failure, do not open the door
in order to preserve interior temperature. Frozen
food should not be affected if the failure lasts
for less than 10 hours. If the failure is longer,
then the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
refrozen.
Freezing fresh food
Please observe the following instructions to
obtain the best results.
Do not freeze too much fresh food at the same
time. The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen quickly.
The maximum amount of fresh food that can
be frozen in 24 hrs. should not exceed the
freezing capacity of your appliance.
Please avoid loading hot food into your
appliance.
Do not close air flow channels while looding.
Fast freeze
If large amounts of fresh food is going to be
frozen, push the fast freeze switch 8 hrs. before
putting the fresh food in the fast freeze
compartment.
It is strongly recommended to keep fast freeze
switch on for 24 hrs. to freeze maximum amount
of fresh food declared as freezing capacity.
Take special care not to mix frozen
food and fresh food.
When fast freeze switch is on -27 ° C will flash
for 5 seconds on display (6). Fast-freeze
operation is for freezing fresh food (see Freezing
Fresh Food, section).
