Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by
the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «■»
position.
When you first start the freezer, we su est that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium settin . For
easier turnin of this control, use a small coin.The
internal temperature of the freezer is automatically
adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food
stora e.
However, if the appliance is workin in unfavourable
room conditions such as
- poor ventilation,
- hi h temperature,
- frequent door openin s,
it may be necessary to select a more suitable
settin .
To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control towards max; to obtain a warmer temperature
turn the control towards min.
Control Panel
A. Alarm light
If the alarm li ht (A) illuminates, it indicates that the
temperature within the freezer has reached a level
where the safe food stora e is no lon er ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm li ht
will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a
safe level for the stora e of frozen food.
B. Fast reeze light
The fast freeze li ht is illuminated, to show that the
fast freeze function is workin .
C. Fast reeze control switch
When you place fresh food in the appliance, press
the fast freeze control switch.
D. Pilot light
The operation li ht is illuminated continuously, to

Freezing resh ood
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 k of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours before
you want to freeze your food (the yellow li ht (B)
illuminates).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
knob should be activated about 2-3 hours before
freezin fresh food.
This time can be shortened, dependin on the
quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has
elapsed place the food to be frozen in the
compartments of the freezer (see the dia ram) as
these are the coldest parts.

INSTALLATION
Positioning
This appliance should only be installed at a location
where the ambient temperature corresponds to the
climate classification indicated on the ratin plate,
which is located at the left on the inside of the
appliance.
The followin table shows which ambient
temperature is correct for each climate classification:
SN +10°C to + 32°C
N +16°C to + 32°C
ST +18°C to + 38°C
T +18°C to + 43°C
It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of
direct sunli ht and away from extreme temperature
e. . not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold
room e. . an outhouse, where the temperatures may
fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are
exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance
may not operate correctly.
You should also ensure that air can circulate freely
around the back and the top of the cabinet. There
must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between
the top of the cabinet and any overhan in kitchen
furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be
positioned beneath overhan in furniture (B).
There should also be a ap of 25 mm either side of
the appliance. Do not obstruct the space
underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed
close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT
install in places with restricted ventilation.
Adjust the level of the appliance by screwin out the
adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet
usin your fin ers.

the maximum quantity that can be frozen is sli htly
less.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) press a ain the fast freeze switch;
the yellow li ht (B) oes off.

Frozen ood storage
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storin frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
you should:
If lar e quantities of food are to be stored, remove all
drawers and baskets from appliance (except for the
last one at the bottom) and place food on the coolin
shelves.
Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated
on the side of the upper section (where
applicable).
Do not exceed the stora e period indicated by the
manufacturer.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open lon er than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in
the freezer compartment.
Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer, can possibly result in 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”.
Important
In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The
food in the freezer will not be affected if the power
cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food
be in to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must
not be re-frozen.
Making ice cubes
The appliance is provided with one or more plastic
ice cube trays.
Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to ive the ice space to expand
and place them in one of the freezer compartment.
To release the ice cubes simply ive the tray a sli ht
twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to
remove the trays from the freezer.
Thawing
Frozen food, prior to bein used, can be thawed in
the frid e or at room temperature dependin on the
time available. Small food items may even be cooked
from frozen; in this case cookin will take lon er.
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 completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the
refri erator compartment and small pieces of meat
can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must
ensure that it is thorou hly cooked throu h.
Ve etables should be directly immersed in boilin
water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in
the oven in their aluminium wrappin .
A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawin
any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the
oven instructions, particularly re ardin the
placement of aluminium wrappin or containers in
the oven.
De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.
