Using the Appliance
Before Use
Re ove all packaging and securing tapes. Wash
inside the appliance with lukewar water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 l to 0,5 litre of water). Do not
use soap or detergent as the s ell ay linger. Dry
thoroughly.
Do not use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products, wax
polishes or products containing alcohol.
FFTo Start the Appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hrs after
installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the ains
supply.
3. Turn the ther ostat control knob to 'Super' and
leave to run for 4 hours to allow the correct
te perature to be reached before placing food
inside.
4. Turn the ther ostat control knob to 'Nor al'.
Thermostat Control
The ther ostat control knob situated on the side of
the cabinet regulates the te perature inside the
freezer.
Turning the ther ostat control knob clockwise akes
the te perature progressively colder.
Stop - Off
Nor al - To store
Super - To Freeze
Freezing Fresh Food
It is i portant that fresh food placed in the freezer is
frozen quickly and that the food already in the freezer
is heated as little as possible.
FFTo freeze fresh food:
1. Turn the ther ostat control knob to 'Super' 6-24
hours before placing fresh food in the freezer. The
freezer will now run continuously, creating a
sufficient reserve of the te perature required.
2. Place the food on the freezing shelf of the freezer
and leave the ther ostat control knob in the 'Super'
position for a further 24 hours.
3. After 24 hours, return the ther ostat control knob
to the 'Nor al' position. The freezer will return to
nor al storage te perature.
If the thermostat control knob is left in the
'Super' position, the freezer will not be
damaged, but energy will be wasted.
Frozen Food Storage
When first starting the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for so e ti e, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least 4 hours with the
ther ostat control knob in the 'Super' position
before storing frozen food.
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the
anufacturer.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open
longer than is necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids in the freezer.
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after
removal from the freezer can cause a low
temperature skin burn.
Do not remove items from the freezer if your
hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer
will not be affected if the power cut is short and
the freezer is full. Do not open the door. Should
the food begin to thaw it must be consumed
quickly and must not be re-frozen. (See Hints and
Tips
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used,
can be thawed in the fridge or at roo te perature,
depending on the ti e available. S all food ite s
ay even be cooked fro frozen, in this case
cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw
accidentally should either be eaten as soon as
possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is
uncooked and has not been co pletely defrosted
it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be
refrozen.
FFTo Make Ice Cubes
1. Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water,
place on the freezing shelf and leave to freeze.
2. To re ove the cubes twist the tray or hold it
under running water for a few seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen
to the freezer shelf by using pointed or
sharp edged objects.

Hints & Tips
Food Storage
To obtain the best perfor ance fro your freezer:
Do not store war food or evaporating liquid.
Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it
straight away. The use of an insulated container is
advisable. When you arrive ho e, place the frozen
food in the freezer i ediately.
Do not push food together too uch, try to allow air
to circulate around each ite .
Do not store food uncovered.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consu ed at its best.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food,
salt reduces the storage ti e.
Wrap the food in polythene or alu iniu freezing
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and
provide an airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
te perature and that it ay have lost its original
quality. Partially thawed food ust not be refrozen,
it ust be consu ed within 24 hours. Never
exceed the storage ti es indicated by the
anufacturer.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the appliance close to sources of
heat, such as a boiler or radiator or cooker.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated roo
and ake sure that the air openings of the
appliance are not obstructed.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before
placing the in the freezer.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be
placed in the fridge before being transferred to the
freezer.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods
or opening the door too frequently as war air will
enter the cabinet and cause the co pressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door fro closing properly.
In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure during the storage of
frozen foods, keep the door closed. If the
te perature within your freezer should rise, do not
refreeze the food without checking its condition.
The following guidelines should assist you:
Ice Cream: Once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be cooked and
used up.
Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.
Shellfish: Should be refrigerated and used up
quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be
refrigerated and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: Can be refrozen providing
there are still ice crystals re aining within the .
Small Joints: Should be cooked and can then be
refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: Should also be cooked and refrozen as a
fresh dish.

Before any maintenance or cleaning is
carried out you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
Internal Cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with war water and
bicarbonate of soda (5 l to 0.5 litre of water).
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
NEVE use detergents, abrasive powders,
highly perfumed cleaning products or wax
polishes to clean the interior as these will
damage the surface and leave a strong
odour.
External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with war soapy water.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille)
and the co pressor at the back of the appliance with
a brush or vacuu cleaner, as an accu ulation of dust
will affect the perfor ance of the appliance and cause
excessive electricity consu ption.
When the Appliance is not in Use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,
disconnect fro the electricity supply, e pty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door open to
prevent unpleasant s ells.

Defrosting
The freezer co part ent will beco e progressively
covered with frost. This should be re oved with the
special plastic scraper provided whenever the
thickness of frost exceeds 1/4.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to re ove the foodstuffs.
However, when the ice beco es very thick on the
inner liner, co plete defrosting should be carried out
and it is advisable to perfor this operation when the
appliance is e pty.
FFTo carry out co plete defrosting:
1. It is advisable to disconnect the appliance fro the
electrical supply. If the plug is inaccessible turn the
ther ostat to Stop.
2. Re ove any stored food, wrap in several layers of
newspaper and store in a cool place.
