disturbed during the transportation process to settle.
• The outside of the appliance and the removable accessories contained
within it, should be cleaned with a solution of liquid detergent and water.
• The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of sodium
bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior and accessories
should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning process has been completed.

Operation
Product functions
• The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the freezer,
depending on what number you have turned the thermostat control knob to:
Position <0> means that the appliance is off and all indicator lights are off.
Position <1> provides highest temperature inside the freezer.
Position <4> provides lowest temperature inside the freezer.
Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position between <2> to <3>.
The freezer can cool down to -18°C and lower.
Note
The ambient temperature of the room, the temperature of food
and the amount of food that has been placed in the appliance and
how often the door is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
• On the maximum setting (position <4>), your freezer will work harder to
maintain a lower temperature. There is no need to run your appliance on
this setting for prolonged periods and you should return the thermostat
knob to between <2> to <3>.

• Fast freeze light (Orange) - will light up when the fast freeze switch has
been activated.
• Temperature rise warning light (Red) - will light up when the appliance
detects a rise in temperature that could affect the contents of your freezer.
• Power light (Green) - will light up as soon as the appliance is connected to

The freezer compartment
Note
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing and freezing food.
• The freezer compartment temperature must have already reached -18°C
(or lower) before you attempt to store food that is already frozen or freezing
fresh food.
• The freezer compartment is only able to freeze a certain quantity of food at
one time. You should not attempt to freeze more than 9 kilograms of fresh
food within a 24 hour period.
• Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt to freeze it.
If you place warm food in the freezer, then the increased humidity will cause
quicker ice formation and increase the amount of power that the appliance
uses.
• The guidance of the food manufacturer should be followed, in regard to the
maximum storage time.
• Thawed foods must not be frozen for a second time.

Freezing fresh food
• Tofreezethemaximumquantityoffreshfoodspeciedonpreviouspage,
you should turn the thermostat knob to position <4>, 24 hours prior to
attempting freezing.
• For smaller quantities of fresh food, you should turn the thermostat knob to
position <4>, approximately 6 hours prior to attempting freezing.
• Alternatively you can use the fast freeze option (See Freezing with fast
freeze section).
• Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or packaging. This will
helptomakesurethatthefooddoesn’tdryoutorloseitsavour.Itwillalso
ensurethatavourdoesnottransferto/fromotherfoods.
• Do not allow fresh food to touch items that are already frozen.
• After 24 hours you should check that the fresh food is satisfactorily frozen.
If it is then the thermostat should be turned down to its normal setting
(between <3> and <4>).
Tips on freezing
• Freezer bags, polythene wraps, aluminium foil (extra thick) and special cans
for frozen foods are suitable packaging for storing frozen goods in.
• Tape, rubber bands or plastic clips are suitable for sealing bags and
wrappings.
• Before sealing a suitable bag, you should compress the air out of it, as this
will help the food to freeze more easily.
• Flat packages freeze more easily.
• Ifyouarefreezingliquid,thendonotllthecontainertothebrim.Liquidswill

Note
Do not place bottles (glass or tin) containing liquids (especially
sparkling liquids) into the freezer as they could cause the bottle to
burst during freezing.

Operation
Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing
• Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or
next to an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase
substantially.
• Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements.
Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and maintenance
• Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases the
efciencyoftheappliance.Youshoulddefrostwheneverthefrostreaches
5mm thickness.
• Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves
noresidue.Atight-sealingdoorgasketiscriticaltotheefciencyofyour
appliance.
Usage
• Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
• Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect the
energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
• The freezer should operate at -15 to -18°C.
• Allowfoodtosufcientlycoolbeforeputtingitintheappliance(butdon’tletit
sit at room temperature for too long).
• In the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or
stacked together until they are completely frozen.
• If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty
and clean it and leave the door ajar.
• If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored
with the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
Disposal
• If you're going to throw out your old freezer, see if there's a

Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance
Warning:
Please ensure that your appliance is disconnected from your mains
supply before attempting to clean it.
• Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto it or spraying water over it.
• The freezer compartment should be cleaned periodically, using a solution of
bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately with soap and water. Do not clean them in
a dishwasher.
• Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
• After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have cleaned with a
damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
• When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect the plug to
your mains supply.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting
process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.
Defrosting the freezer compartment
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed periodically. You can use
a plastic scraper to keep down the amount of frost that builds.
Note
The freezer should be defrosted at least twice a year. The number
of times that you need to defrost it, will depend on the setting of your
thermostat and how much food you freeze and store in the freezer.
• The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to position <4>, this will
make sure that the food contained in the freezer is frozen properly.
• Whilst defrosting the appliance, the food should be removed from the freezer
and wrapped in several layers of paper and stored in a cool place. The foods
rise in temperature will shorten its storage life and therefore the food should
be used within a relatively short period of time.
Note
Do not place food back in the freezer once it has started to thaw.
• Set the thermostat knob to position <0> and disconnect the appliance from
your mains supply.
• Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl of warm water
inside the freezer to speed up the defrost process.
• You can use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into the
bottom of the freezer.

Once all the ice that has built up has melted, then the inside of the freezer should
be dried thoroughly. Failure to do this will result in immediate ice build when the
appliance is switched back on.
• With dry hands, reconnect your appliance to your mains supply. Set the
thermostat knob to position <4> for a 24 hour period, before returning it to
the normal setting of between <2> and <3>.
Note
Do not defrost the appliance with other electrical devices (e.g. hair
dryer). Do not use sharp metal objects to remove the ice on the
freezer, as this could cause damage to the refrigerant system.
