USING THE APPLIANCE
› Before using your freezer, wipe all parts with a solution of warm water and a teaspoon of
sodium bicarbonate. Then, rinse with clean water and dry. Return all parts to the freezer
after cleaning.
› Remove all transport tapes and foam protection pieces. Clean the interior with a cloth
dampened in lukewarm soap and water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
› Your freezer may have an odour when it is operated for the first time. This is normal and the
odour will fade when your freezer starts to cool.
› When the appliance has been positioned, adjust the feet to ensure the unit is stable. This is
essential to ensure quiet running and proper door opening/closing.
WARNING
Connect to the electrical socket but do not switch the power to the freezer on for at least 3
hours. The coolant within the product needs time to settle after it has been transported and put
into position, failure to do this will affect the cooling performance of your appliance.
› Once the appliance has settled, locate the thermostat dial on the product, set to “5” and
switch the power on. The compressor will begin to work. Close the door.
› We recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the
appliance to reach the standard operating temperature.
› You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to the
cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance. When the
compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound. The thermostat controls
the operation of the compressor, and you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out, this
is normal.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL DIAL:
The temperature in the appliance is controlled by the temperature control dial or thermostat
located at the top of the appliance. Rotate the control dial clockwise and anti-clockwise to
regulate the temperature inside the freezer.
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROL - OFF turns the appliance off, 1 is the warmest setting and 5 is
the coldest setting.
2. POWER INDICATOR - the green light will illuminate when the freezer is switched on.
3. HIGH TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR - the red light will illuminate when the
temperature inside the freezer is too high. This may illuminate after the door has been
opened or when fresh food is added, and should switch off again once the temperature
within the freezer has stabilised.
4. SUPER FREEZE INDICATOR - the yellow light will illuminate when the super freezer
function has been activated with the super freeze button.
5. SUPER FREEZE BUTTON - should only be set 2 hours before a large amount of food is
placed in the freezer so the appliance will be at its coldest so it can rapidly freeze the food
that is added. After 24 hours, the function will be switched off automatically. During fast
freezing, press and hold the fast freezing button for 3 seconds, then the function will be
manually switched off immediately.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The main consideration when installing
a refrigeration product into a cabinet is
ventilation. The heat removed from the
appliance needs to be dissipated into the
room. Failure to correctly ventilate the
product can result in increased running
costs and premature failure. It will also
invalidate the guarantee provided with
the appliance.
An air intake in the plinth is required
to allow for the correct air flow
(recommended 540mm x 50mm). If
preferred a decorative stainless steel plinth
grille is available, product code:
GRILL/ SENSE600.
This can be purchased from your
retailer or www.caple.co.uk.
To ensure the correct operation of the
appliance it is important the top of the
housing is not blocked off. The top of
the cabinet needs to be vented into the
room,the recommended minimum size of
the vent opening is 540 x 50mm.
There should also be space at the rear
of the cabinet to allow the cool air to be
drawn over the condenser. This should also
be at least 540mm x 50mm. The more air
available to circulate the product, the more
efficiently it will operate.
Depending on the ambient temperature of the room the appliance is situated in, you may
need to adjust the temperature control dial; in a room with a high ambient temperature, the
temperature control dial may need to be adjusted to a colder setting (moved towards setting
5) or in a room with a low ambient temperature the temperature control dial may need to be
adjusted to a warmer setting (moved towards settings 3).
Once the temperature control has been set, close the door and plug in the appliance. We
recommend that the door is not opened for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the appliance to
reach the standard operating temperature.
NOTE:
The standard operating temperature should be between -18°C and -25°C. The temperature of
freshly stored food and how often the door is opened affects the temperature in the freezer
compartment. If required, change the temperature setting.

FOOD STORAGE
› The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.
› To freeze fresh food, ensure that as much of the surface of the food as possible is in
contact with the cooling surface.
› Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.
› Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.
› Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting
› Never place warm food in the freezer compartment as it will thaw the frozen food.
› Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food.
If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the
date of purchase.
› When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate
conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.
› Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as
soon as possible.
› Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity band
abnormal swelling.
› It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents
have deteriorated.
› The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting,
how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport
the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the
packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.
› The maximum amount of fresh food (in kg) that can be frozen in 24 hours is indicated on
the appliance label.
NOTE:
If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not
open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
› Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
› The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (aniseed, watercress, vinegar, assorted
spices, ginger, garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a
strong taste when they are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of
spices to food to be frozen, or the desired spice should be added after the food has thawed.
› The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine,
calf fat, olive oil and butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
› Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen
in plastic or bags or containers. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most
efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

TROUBLESHOOTING
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
Reviewing the information below may save you from calling for service.
THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT OPERATE CHECK IF:
› There is power to the unit
› The general switch in your home is connected
› The socket is working. To check this, plug in another appliance that you know is working
into the same socket.
› The fuse has not blown
› The voltage is correct for the appliance
› There has been a power cut
THE APPLIANCE PERFORMS POORLY CHECK IF:
› You have not overloaded the appliance
› The freezer temperature set to MAX
› The door is closed perfectly
› There is no dust on the condenser
› There is enough space at the rear and side walls for ventilation
THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF THE APPLIANCE IS TOO COLD
› Increase the temperature by adjusting the thermostat to a lower setting. The highest setting
should only be used as a rapid cool and only set 2 hours before a large amount of food is
placed in the freezer.
THE APPLIANCE DOORS DO NOT CLOSE PROPERLY CHECK IF:
› There are no obstructions preventing door closure
› The door compartments and shelves are correctly in place
› Check the door seal is not warped or torn
› Check the appliance is level
THE APPLIANCE HAS ODOUR / SMELLS CHECK IF:
› All the food and drink that is in the freezer is in date and correctly packaged.
› There are any spillages on each shelf, rack and drawer.
› The drainage pipe is not clogged or the drip tray at the back of the appliance is full.
The pipe can be cleared by pouring hot water through. You must ensure the appliance is
turned off, the plug is removed from the socket and a jug or bucket is in place to catch the
flow of water.
SHORT CRACKING:
› Heard when the thermostat switches the compressor on/ off.
COMPRESSOR NOISE:
› Normal motor noise. This noise means that the compressor operates normally. Compressor
may cause more noise for a short time when it is activated.
BUBBLING NOISES:
› This noise is caused by the flow of the refrigerant in the tubes of the system.
AIR BLOW NOISE:
- Normal fan noise. This noise can be heard in freezers during normal operation of the system
due to the circulation of air.

EXCESS ICE OR FROST IN SIDE THE APPLIANCE :
› Check the door has not been left open.
› Check the door gasket is clean and undamaged.
DOOR JOINTS:
› If the edges of freezer cabinet that the door joint contact are warm; especially in summer
(hot weather), the surfaces that the joint contact may get warmer during the operation of
the compressor, this is normal. If humidity builds up inside the freezer;
› Is all the food packed properly?
› Are the containers dried before placing them in the freezer?
› Is the freezer door opened frequently? Humidity of the room gets in the freezer when the
door is opened. Humidity build up will be faster when you open the door more frequently,
especially if the humidity of the room is high.
IF THE DOORS ARE NOT OPENED AND CLOSED PROPERLY
› Do the food packages prevent closing of the door?
› Are the door compartments, shelves and drawers placed properly?

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near
a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently
as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on
unnecessarily often.
4. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper
and chiller) closed.
5. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
