Before disposing of an old appliance,
make sure that the lock (if present) no
longer works. This is to prevent accidents
and avoid the danger of children getting
locked inside.
IN THE INTERESTS OF THE
ENVIRONMENT:
When disposing of your old appliance:
Check with your local Council or
Environmental Health Officer to see if
there are facilities in your area for
collecting the gas from the appliance for
recycling. This will help reduce the
amount of CFC gas released into the
atmosphere.
Help to keep your country tidy - when
disposing of an old appliance or a CFC
free appliance use an authorised disposal
site.
IMPORTANT
It is vital that these instructions are
kept with the appliance for future
use. If the appliance is sold or given
to another user, or if you move and

POSITION
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm
surface, resting on all four plastic feet.
Use a wooden block or similar object
to compensate for any bumps/holes in
the surface.
The room should be dry and
adequately ventilated.
If the room temperature exceeds
32°C, or falls below freezing point, the
freezer will not function as it should.
Do not place the freezer close to
sources of heat, radiators, chimneys,
etc., and do not place the freezer in
direct sunlight.
If the freezer has been handled
standing on end it should be allowed to
stand in normal position for about 12
hours before switching it on.
Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS.
Before switching on, make sure that the
voltage of your electricity supply is the
same as that indicated on the rating plate,
located inside the lid.
For your convenience, this appliance comes
complete with either a moulded-on or re-
wireable 13 amp (BS1363) plug, protected
by a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse.
In the event of having to change the fuse
in the plug supplied, a replacement 13
amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse must
be used.
In the case of a moulded-on plug, the fuse
cover MUST be refitted after changing
fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged
the plug MUST NOT be used until a
replacement is obtained.
Warning:
This appliance must be earthed.

5
Replacement covers are avaliable from
your local electricity shop or nearest
customer service centre. The colour of
the replacement fuse cover must match
the colour insert or emboss on the base
of the plug.
In the case of a re-wireable plug care must
be taken to ensure that the top cover is
refitted without causing damage to either
the top cover or base. In the event of the
plug becoming damaged or cracked, it
must be replaced with an equivalent 13
amp, BS1363 approved plug (ref. fig. 1)
and rewired using the following
procedure:
SWITCHING ON
Before switching on, the freezer should
be cleaned
inside. See under Maintenance.
Set the thermostat button in middle
position. Allow the freezer to run for
several hours before placing food
inside.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the
required temperature is maintained in
the freezer. Adjust the temperature by
turning the button with a coin that fits
the groove. Turning the thermostat
button towards no. MAX makes the
temperature in the freezer colder, and
turning the button towards no. 1 makes
the temperature warmer.
The correct setting can be found by
measuring the temperature of the top
package in the middle of the freezer.
This should not have a temperature
higher than -18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing
sealing strip to prevent moisture getting
inside the freezer and increasing the
amount of frost formed.When the lid is
opened the air inside the freezer
becomes slightly warmer and
expands.As soon as the lid is closed
again the air is cooled immediately.This
may lead to the creation of a vacuum
which makes it hard to open the lid
immediately after it has been closed.
This is quite normal. Wait a few minutes
until the vacuum has disappeared, then
open the lid by pulling gently. Never pull
the handle violently.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in
the freezer is frozen quickly, and that
the food already in the freezer is
heated as little as possible in this
connection. If more than 3-4 kg of food
is to be frozen:
Press the square Super button (yellow
light comes on). The freezer will now run
continuously, creating a sufficient
reserve of the temperature required.
Press the Super button 6-24 hours
before placing fresh food in the
freezer, depending on how much food
is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave
the Super button on for about 24
hours more.
Then press the Super button again
(yellow light goes off). The freezer will
return to normal storage temperature. If
you forget to press the Super button
again, the freezer will not be damaged
by running at the Super setting for
some time - but energy will be wasted.
PACKAGING AND POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no
more than room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and
moisture-proof packaging to prevent it
from drying out.
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.
Never fill the freezer to more than
5 mm below the top edge.
See under Helpful hints.

CAPACITY
The freezing capacity of the freezer is
stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours).
Do not exceed the amount stated - if
you do, the freezing time will be
extended. The data plate is located
inside the lid.
PARTITION WALL
The partition wall can be taken out and
used to collect drip water during
defrosting. See under Maintenance.
BASKETS
The baskets are designed for the
storage of food which has already
been frozen. The handles can be
placed in two positions, as shown in
the drawings.The baskets can either
be placed inside the freezer or hung on
the edge of the casing.
STORAGE
Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept at
least 5 mm below the top edge. Never
exceed the maximum storage time for
purchased frozen food.
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

CCAAPPAACCIITTYY
IMPORTANT
The freezing capacity stated can be
utilised to the full occasionally to
freeze large amounts of fresh food.
However, if the freezer is filled with
large amounts of food for freezing
every day, the capacity stated is
reduced by about one-third.

to bring such products home with you.
Never place bottles, warm objects, or
fizzy drinks in the freezer.
FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Cool hot dishes to room temperature
as quickly as possible before placing
them in the freezer. Wrap food carefully
in freezer foil, or use the special
freezer boxes or bags which are on the
market. Divide food into small portions
before freezing - this ensures that
freezing is more rapid, and means that
you only need to defrost the amount
needed for immediate consumption.
Remember that defrosted food must
not be re-frozen. However, dishes
which have been made using
defrosted food may be frozen. Mark the
freezer packaging with the date of
freezing. We recommend keeping a
record of the contents of your freezer. If
freezing is too slow, the quality of the
food being frozen deteriorates.
Consequently, do not freeze larger
amounts than stated in the freezers
data plate. If you wish to freeze food
several days in a row, the maximum
freezing capacity stated per day is
reduced by about one-third. As far as
possible, keep the lid closed during
freezing. If you know nothing about
home freezing, we recommend that
you purchase a book containing advice
and guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted
at room temperature, since this
increases the risk of bacteria growth. It
is best to defrost large portions of meat
or poultry in the refrigerator, and this
also applies to food which is to be
consumed as it is (e.g. fruit, butter and
sliced meat). Small portions of food
can be cooked straight from the
freezer. A good number of ready-to-
cook dishes can also be cooked
without defrosting. Always observe the
instructions on product packaging.
Bread tastes good when defrosted in a
moderate oven. Microwave ovens can
be used for the rapid defrosting of most
frozen foods. Observe the instructions
for use of the microwave oven
concerned.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR
FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the plug from the mains
socket, and remove all loose
accessories before cleaning the
freezer. The best time to clean your
freezer is after defrosting and before
the electricity supply is connected
again. Use a damp cloth to clean your
freezer. Use hot water, and a mild, non-
aromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning
the freezer, clean the basket/baskets
before replacing them.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outer cabinet with warm
soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive
products.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong cleaning agents,
scouring powder or strongly
aromatic cleaning agents to clean
your freezer inside, since this will
damage the inside and leave a
strong smell.
