DANGER
AVOID THE RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT.
BEFORE THROWING AWAY AN OLD REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER, TAKE
OFF THE DOORS/LIDS AND REMOVE THE SHELVES SO THAT CHILDREN
CANNOT GET TRAPPED INSIDE.
Important Safeguards
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
When using this appliance, always exercise basic safety precautions, including
the following:
1) Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this guide.
2) Remove all packaging before commencing freezer operation.
3) This freezer must be installed properly in accordance with the installation
instructions before it is plugged in and used. See grounding instructions in
the installation section.
4) This freezer is designed for freestanding installation only and it should not be
recessed or built in.
5) At least 7.5cm air space on top, sides and back of the freezer should be
given. This allows air to circulate freely and helps to prevent condensation
on the cabinet.
6) It is recommended that the freezer is cleaned before use as per the ‘Care
and Cleaning Instructions’ in this manual.
7) Never unplug your freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug
firmly and pull it straight from the outlet.
8) Replace or repair immediately all electric service cords which may have
become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use cord that shows cracks or
abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.
9) If your old freezer is still around the house but not in use, be sure to remove
the doors to reduce the possibility of danger to children.
10)Unplug your freezer before cleaning or before making any repairs. NOTE:
We strongly recommend that any servicing or repairs be undertaken by a
suitably qualified technician.
11)Do not refreeze any foods which have been thawed.

12)Do not use any electrical devices or sharp instruments to defrost the freezer.
13)Food should only be placed inside the freezer 8 hours after the freezer has
been turned on to avoid wasting power and over working the compressor.
14)Ensure that hot food is allowed to cool completely before freezing.
15)Do not overfill the freezer. Where possible, large blocks of meat should be
cut and wrapped in smaller pieces. Space should be left between packages
of food to enable air to circulate at all times.
16)Never place combustible, explosive or volatile liquid, gas or other materials in
the freezer.
17)Do not install the freezer in the same vicinity of any combustible, explosive or
volatile liquids/gases.
18)Do not leave beverages such as beer, soft drinks or other liquids packaged
in glass containers in the freezer. Such liquids will expand upon freezing and
can cause the glass to break.
19)Do not put water directly in to the tank of the freezer.

Electric Control Panel
The main functions of the electric control panel are:
1) The thermostat is numbered “0”-“5”. This refers to the temperature on
the inside of the freezer. The temperature is lowered by turning the
dial in a clockwise direction.

Freezer Installation
1) The freezer is designed for free-standing installation only.
2) The freezer should not be recessed or built in.
3) Install the freezer on a base strong enough to support it when fully loaded.
Ensure the freezer is on a stable surface to minimize noise and vibration.
4) When moving the freezer, never tilt at an angle more than 45oas this could
damage the compressor and freezer system. If the freezer is tilted over 45o,or
has been stored on its side, allow the freezer to stand upright for at least 24
hours prior to plugging it back in. This will allow the refrigerant to settle.
5) Install the freezer in a well-ventilated area away from any heat source or direct
sunlight. Air must be allowed to circulate freely around the freezer. Allow at
least 3inches (7.5cm) of clearance space for the top, back and sides.
6) Install the freezer in a dry place to prevent rust from forming on the compartment
body and to avoid the risk of damaging the electric insulation.
Electrical Connection and Precautions
1) IMPORTANT – For personal safety, this appliance must be properly
earthed.
2) The voltage range for this appliance is 187v – 242v. In the event that your
regional power supplier cannot meet this requirement, please use a safe and
reliable automatic voltage regulator with a minimum output of 500W to avoid
damaging the compressor.

3) A 13 Amp, 3 pin plug and 5 Amp fuse only must be used for this freezer to avoid
serious damage. The plug should always be wired in accordance with the
following codes:
Green and Yellow EARTH (E)
Blue or Black Neutral (N)
Brown or Red LIVE (L)
It is safest to consult a qualified electrician at all times
4) In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current. This appliance is

Care and Cleaning
IMPORTANT
Before Cleaning always switch the freezer off and remove the plug from
the power supply.

Defrosting
If the frost on the freezer walls reaches a thickness of 6mm or greater, the freezer
requires defrosting. It should not be necessary to defrost the freezer more than
once every few months and the defrosting process is best carried out when the stock
of food is at a low level.
Defrosting
Before defrosting, turn the thermostat to the lowest temperature setting “6” for about
four hours. This will enable you to remove any remaining food from the freezer at its
lowest temperature. Food removed from the freezer should then be wrapped in
several layers of newspaper and placed in a cold refrigerator. Remember that any
rise in temperature will shorten the life of the frozen food considerably. Thawed
food should not be re-frozen.
Once all food has been removed from the freezer, disconnect the power by
removing the plug from the power source/socket.
To help remove the frost, use the plastic defrosting scraper provided. DO NOT USE
SHARP OR METALLIC INSTRUMENTS TO REMOVE THE ICE. Defrosting usually
takes a few hours. To defrost faster, keep the door open and place a bowl of warm
water inside the freezer.
Draining the Freezer
Turn the inner plug in the bottom of the freezer compartment. Place a tray or other
water receptacle beneath the outer drain dial/plug (front lower left of the freezer).
Pull the drain dial out and rotate it until the triangle points downwards. When done,
return the triangle to the up position, push the dial back in, and replace the plug
inside the freezer compartment.
Cleaning and Temperature Setting
Wipe the interior of the freezer and drain hole with a cloth or clean as described in
the ‘Care and Cleaning’ section of this manual. Reinsert drain plug and plug the
power cord back into the power source/socket.
