Safety Information
Before installing and using the appliance
read this user's instruction book carefully.
It contains safety precautions, hints,
information and ideas. If the freezer is
used in compliance with the instructions
written, it will operate properly and
provide you with the greatest satisfaction.
These warnings are provided in the
interest of safety. You must read them
carefully before installing or using the
appliance.
Use the freezer only for storing frozen
food, freezing fresh food and making
ice cubes.
Do not eat ice cubes or ice lollies
immediately after taking them out of
the freezer, as they may cause frost
burns.
Do not allow children to play or hide
inside the freezer, as they may
become trapped inside and suffocate.
Do not store glass containers with
liquids in the freezer, as they may
burst.
Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.
Before servicing or cleaning, always
unplug the appliance or disconnect
the power supply.
Do not use other electrical appliances
(such as ice cream makers) inside the
appliance.
Your appliance contains an
environmentally friendly natural gas,
isobuthane (R600a). Caution is
required however, since isobuthane is
flammable. Therefore it is essential to
ensure that the refrigerant pipelines
are not damaged.
It is most important that this instruction
book should be retained with the
appliance for future reference.

Installation
Wait at least 2 hours before
connecting the freezer to the power
supply to ensure the refrigerant circuit
is fully efficient.
Install the freezer in a dry, well
ventilated room. Avoid locations near a
source of heat or in direct sunlight.
The room temperature should
correspond to the climatic
classification for which the freezer was
designed, see chapter "Technical
data".
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm
surface, resting on all four feet.
For optimum operation and in order to
avoid damage when the lid is opened,
leave a space of at least 5 cm from the
rear wall and 5 cm at the sides.
Before connecting the freezer to the
power supply, ensure that the voltage
corresponds to that indicated in
chapter "Technical data" under
"Voltage".
Danger!
Ensure that the freezer is not resting
on the power supply cable.
Do not remove the power supply cable
by pulling on its lead, particularly when
the freezer is being pulled out of its
niche.
The power supply cable may only be
replaced by a competent service
personnel.
Ensure that the power plug is not
squashed or damaged by the back of
the freezer.
There must be adequate ventilation
around the appliance.
Any electrical work required to install
this appliance should be carried out
by a competent electrician.
Electrical connection
The appliance is supplied with a 13amp
plug fitted. In the event of having to
change the fuse in the plug supplied, a
13amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse
must be used. Should the plug need to
be replaced for any reason. The wires in
the power supply cable are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth: must be
connected to the terminal marked with
the letter "E" or by the earth symbol or
coloured green and yellow.
Blue - Neutral: must be connected to
the terminal "N" or coloured black.
Brown - Live: must be connected to
the terminal marked "L" or coloured
red.
Upon completion there must be no cut,
or stray strands of wire present and the
cord clamp must be secure over the
outer sheath.
Warning! This appliance must be
earthed.
First use
Before first use, the freezer should be
cleaned inside, see chapter "Care and
cleaning".

Care and Cleaning
Defrosting the freezer
When the ice layer is 10-15 mm thick, the
freezer should be defrosted. We suggest
that you defrost your freezer when there
is little or no food inside.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply.
Remove the contents of the freezer,
wrap them in newspapers, and keep
them in a cold place.
Leave the appliance lid open.
Speed up defrosting by using the
enclosed scraper to detach the ice
from the appliance walls.
Dry the interior of the appliance
thoroughly.
Important! Never use a knife or any
other sharp implement to remove frost or
ice.
Cleaning
The best time to clean your freezer is
after defrosting.
Disconnect the appliance from the
power supply and remove all loose
accessories.
Use a damp cloth to clean your
freezer. Use hot water and a mild, non-
aromatic detergent.
Clean the loose accessories, before
replacing them again.

EN
Important! Never use strong detergents,
scouring powder or aromatic detergents
to clean your freezer.
When not in use
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply.
Remove all food from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
Helpful hints and tips
Freezing food
Before freezing, fresh food must be
packed in airtight and moisture-proof
packaging to prevent it from drying
out.
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Always leave hot food to cool to room
termperature before placing in the
freezer.
Divide food into small portions before
freezing; this ensures that freezing is
more rapid, and that you only need to
defrost the amount needed for
immediate consumption.
Mark the freezer packaging with the
date of freezing.
Place fresh food for freezing close to
the cold sides of the freezer, making
sure that it is not in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer.
Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept
at least 5 mm below the upper edge.
If freezing is too slow, the quality of the
food being frozen deteriorates. The
amount of fresh food (expressed in kg)
that can be frozen in 24 hours is
indicated in the chapter "Technical
data" under "Freezing capacity".
Food storage
For fresh frozen food, please refer to
the storage period table underneath.
For purchased frozen food, never
exceed the expiry date.
When you buy frozen food, make sure
that it has been stored at the correct
temperature. Do not buy products
which have wet or damaged
packaging. Place purchased products
in your freezer as quickly as possible.
We recommend using an insulated
bag to bring such products home with
you.
Important! Remember that fully or
partially defrosted food must not be re-
frozen. However, dishes which have
been cooked using defrosted food may
be frozen.
In the case of a power failure or
breakdown
Do not open the lid.
Important! If the power has been off for
longer that the value shown in the
chapter "Technical data" under "Hold-
over time", the defrosted food must be
consumed quickly or cooked
immediately and then refrozen (after
cooling).
