Section 3. Operating the Appliance
3.1. Switching on the Appliance
-Allow the appliance to stand for a minimum of 4 hours after installation.
-Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
-Set the thermostat control to the required setting as detailed in the
Temperature Control section (3.2.).
-Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature
to be reached.
3.2. Temperature Control
The temperature selector knob is located on the outside of the cabinet (see
Description of the Appliance). Set the thermostat to the desired setting – see
below.
-Setting “1”: – Warmest Temperature
-Setting “3-5”: Normal Operation
-Setting “7”: Coldest Temperature
-Setting ‘Max’: Fast Freeze (*)
(*) If you add several fresh items to the freezer, turn the control knob to position
‘Max’ to help freeze the items quickly. Ensure that you turn the control knob back
to the normal operating temperature after no more than 4 hours.
Your appliance has one neon indicator situated on the front control panel. The
neon will illuminate whilst the freezer compressor is operating.
Important!
During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary
to set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position Max). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.

3.3. Storing & Freezing Food in the Freezer
This appliance is a four star freezer and is suitable for the long-term storage of
frozen food items. It can also be used for freezing and storing fresh food items.
When adding fresh food, turn the control to ‘Max’ until the food is frozen. Do not
leave at the ‘Max’ setting for more than 4 hours!
You should always follow the storage guidelines printed on each food producers
packaging, however the following information is provided as a general guide for
the maximum storage life of frozen items:
-Fresh Meat and Poultry – up to 12 months
-Cooker Meats – up to 2 months
-Fresh Fish – up to 6 months
-Fruit and Vegetables – up to 12 months
-Bread and Cakes – up to 6 months
3.4. Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped to
the cooling system and through the coils or tubing at the rear of the appliance.
When the compressor is in operation you may hear a slight whirring sound or
pulsating noise. The thermostat controls the operation of the compressor, and
you may hear a slight click as it cycles in and out.
3.5. Energy Saving Advice
- Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
- Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that
the air vents are clear.
- Try to avoid keeping the lid open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption.
- Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the lid from
closing properly.
- Ensure that the lid seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
- Do not put hot food into the freezer – let it cool down first.
3.6. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the lid closed. When the power has been restored
the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set
operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and liquids.

Section 4. Maintenance
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the
appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
4.1. Internal Cleaning
Clean the interior and basket with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5
litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive
powders, highly perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products
containing bleach or alcohol.
4.2. External Cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
There may be sharp edges on the underside of the product, so care should be
taken when cleaning. Once or twice a year dust the rear of the appliance and the
compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an
accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause
increased energy consumption.
4.3. Defrosting
It is advisable to carry out de-frosting when your frozen food stocks are minimal.
Any frozen food that you do have inside the appliance should be wrapped in
thick newspaper or stored in a cool bag whilst carrying out the defrost operation.
If ice build up in the appliance exceeds 3-5mm, empty the contents and switch off
the appliance, open the drainage point and leave the lid open and allow the ice to
melt. Use a bowl or container to catch the water. Do not use sharp objects to
scrape the ice away. Clean and dry the interior, close the drainage point, close
the lid and turn on the power to the appliance. When the power has been
restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve
the pre-set operating temperature.
4.4. When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, remove the contents,
disconnect from the electricity supply and clean the appliance, leaving the lid ajar
until you wish to use the appliance again.

4.5. What to do if something goes wrong
There is no power to the appliance:
-Check there is not a power cut
-Check there is power to the electric socket/appliance
-Check the fuse in the plug (Must be 13 amp)
The compressor runs continuously:
-Is the lid closed correctly?

yes, allow the interior temperature to recover
-Has the appliance lid been opened frequently? – if yes, allow the interior
temperature to recover
-Is the t/stat control set to maximum? – if yes, adjust the control to a lower
setting
There is excessive frost/ice build up:
-Ensure that the lid has been closed correctly
-Ensure that the lid seal is clean and sealing correctly
The appliance is making a noise:
-Refer to Normal Operating Sounds, section 3.4.
