Plug replacement(UK&lreland only)
Should you need to replace the plug,the
wires in the power cable are colour in the
following way:
Blue - Neutral ’N’
Brown - Live ‘L’
Green&Yellow - Earth ‘E’
As the colours of the wires in the power cable
may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your
plug,and proceed as follows:
The green&yellow wire must be connected to
the terminal in the plug that is marked with
the letter E or by the earth symbol.
The blue wire must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter N.
The brown wire must be connected to the
terminal that is marked with the letter L.
If power supply cord is damaged,it must
replaced by the manufacturer or its service
agent or a similar qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.
Replacing the light bulb
To replace the light bulb, pull out
the plug from the electrical socket.
Follow the instructions below.
Access the light bulb by removing the
cover as indicated in the
diagram. Replace it with a similar light
bulb within the power range
indicated on the cover (10W).
Temperature Control
The range of the temperature control is from
position" Min" the warmest to "Max" the
coldest.Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The setting
of medium position should be appropriate for
home or office freezer use.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to "OFF"
position stops the cooling cycle but does not
shut off the power to the freezer.
If the unit is unplugged, lost power, or turned
off; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
Restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart
before this time delay, the freezer will not
start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling
efficiency of the appliance.
If you choose to change the thermostat
setting, adjust thermostat control by one
numerical increment at a time. Allow several
hours for temperature to stabilize between
adjustments.

Defrosting Your Freezer
When? For the most efficient operation and
minimum energy consumption, defrost the
freezer when the frost on the freezer walls is
excessive or 5 to 10 mm thick.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food
is low.
CAUTION
Do not use boiling water because it may
damage the plastic parts. In addition, never
use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove
frost as it may damage the cooling coils and
will void the warranty. We recommend using
the plastic scraper .
Remove the frozen food from the freezer and
place it in a cooler to protect the food.
Turn the thermostat knob to “OFF”.
Unplug the freezer. The Power Supply light
should be off (green light out).
During defrosting, the ice melts into the
cabinet.
Remove the drain plug on the inside floor of
the freezer by rotating it.
Place a shallow pan outside drain outlet.
The defrost water will drain out.
Check the pan occasionally so the water
does not overflow.
Clean the interior of the freezer.
Replace the plug on the inside floor.
Reset the thermostat to desired setting.
Allow the cabinet to cool for one hour.
Return food to the freezer.
OPERATING YOUR FREEZER
HELPFUL HINT:
Defrosting usually takes a few hours.
Leaving the door open will help speed the
process. Also, pouring warm water (not
boiling) on the ice/frost will help speed
melting. If you must use a scraper- please
use caution - it is very easy to damage the
freezer compartment and void your warranty.
The Freezer Compartment
This compartment is designed for the long-
term storage of frozen food.
The storage life of frozen foods varies and
the recommended storage time should not be
exceeded. The instructions regarding the
care of frozen foods should be followed when
defrosting the freezer.
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should
be stored in accordance with the frozen foods
manufacturer's instructions for a four star
frozen food storage compartment or home
freezer.
Place frozen food into the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase. If there are
instructions on the packet, carefully follow
these instructions regarding storage times.
The freezer door is susceptible to breaking
due to excessive ice build up. Be sure to
defrost when the ice reaches 5 to 10 mm
thick.
A storage basket is provided for the
organization of odd-shaped items. To reach
other packages in the freezer, just slide the
basket to one side, or lift it out.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Your Freezer
Upon installation of your new appliance, it is
recommended that it be cleaned thoroughly.
Turn the temperature control to "OFF",
unplug the freezer, remove the food and
storage basket.
Wash the inside with a damp warm cloth
containing a water and baking soda solution.
The solution should be about 2 tablespoons
of baking soda to a quart of water.
Wash the storage basket with a mild
detergent solution.
Be sure to keep the door gasket (seal) clean
to keep the unit running efficiently.
The outside of the freezer should be cleaned
with mild detergent and warm water.
Dry the interior and exterior with a soft cloth.
The condenser coils should be vacuumed
when they are dusty or dirty.
It is recommended that the unit be cleaned
each time it is defrosted to help keep the unit
odor free and running efficiently.
Vacation Time
Remove all the food.
Unplug the freezer.
Clean the freezer.
Leave the door open slightly to avoid
possible formation of condensation, mold, or
odors.
Use extreme caution in the case of children.
The unit should not be accessible to child's
play.
Short vacations: Leave the freezer operating
during vacations of less than three weeks.
Long vacations: If the appliance will not be
used for several months, remove all food and
unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the
interior thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold
growth, leave the door open slightly: blocking
it open if necessary or have the door
removed.

PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FREEZER
You can solve many common freezer
problems easily, saving you the cost of a
possible service call. Try the suggestions
below to see if you can solve the problem
before calling the servicer .
For household refrigerating appliances, in
normal temperature conditions, please
arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to
ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall
should be always clean, free of dust or any
impurities.
Always consider instructions stated in
sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips,
otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
Moving Your Freezer
Remove all the food.
Securely tape down all loose items inside
your freezer.
Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
Tape the doors shut.
Be sure the freezer stays in the upright
position during transportation.
Energy Saving Tips
The freezer should be located in the coolest
area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the
direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature
before placing in the freezer. Overloading
the freezer forces the compressor to run
longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may
lose quality, or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe
containers dry before placing them in the
freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside the freezer.
Freezer storage bin should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the freezer less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and
close the door as soon as possible.
Try not to open the door too often, especially
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance).
