Location
When selecting a position for your unit you should make sure the oor is at and rm and the room is well
ventilated. This unit can be used in a garage or outbuilding. For optimum energy eciency the unit should be
located within an average room temperature of between 10°C and 43°C. If the room temperature drops below
or rises above these temperatures the energy consumption and performance may be aected. Avoid locating
your unit near a heat source, e.g. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight as it may increase the
electrical consumption. Do not drape the unit with any covering.
Free Space Requirements
When installing the unit, ensure that 25 mm of free
space is left at both sides and 50 mm at the rear of
the unit. Please ensure there is adequate space for
the door to fully open.
• Before Plugging in YOU MUST
Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the unit.
• Before Turning On!
Do not turn on until two hours after moving the unit. The coolant uid needs time to settle.
Cleaning Before Use
Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before. Clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth.
If you require more information refer to the Cleaning section.
Before Using Your Unit
Before placing any food in your unit, turn it on and wait for 24 hours, to make sure it is working properly and
to allow it time to fall to the correct temperature. Your unit should not be overlled.

Operation
Switching On Your Unit
1. Before connecting the unit to the mains supply, make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position 0.
2. Turn the thermostat control dial clockwise to set it to the desired position, bear in mind that the MID position
is the correct temperature for storing already frozen food.
3. To ensure that the freezer is cool enough to suciently freeze your food, wait 24 hours before lling with
food.
4. The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or
if you open the door often.
5. If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold
enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need
a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available
from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the
thermometer in the freezer and leave overnight. The correct
temperature for the freezer should be -18°C or lower.
Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of your appliance is controlled by a thermostat.
MAX position makes the appliance colder and is used for fast freezing. The
recommended position is between MID but should be adjusted according
to its environment. The appliance may not operate correctly if it is in a
particularly hot or cold room or if the lid is opened often or for prolonged
periods.
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting MAX makes your freezer operate continually and get
colder (approximately -28°C). It will therefore freeze quicker and retain more of the goodness in food. Freezing will
be complete after 24 hours. Turn the thermostat control dial back to position MID, to allow the freezer to return to
its normal temperature (-18°C). Never freeze large quantities of fresh food at one time.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be
aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more
pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not aect the performance of your
unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
RUNNING
The Alarm indicator will light up if the unit’s internal temperature rises approximately
above -9°C.

Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit
• Cooked meats/shes should always be stored above raw meats/shes to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw
meats/shes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and cover it properly. Place the container at
the bottom inside the unit.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the unit are kept
cool.
• To prevent transfer of avours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and vegetables do not
need to be wrapped.
• Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain the internal
temperature of the unit.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door. We
recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
Preparations for Freezing
• Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less
time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
• Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
• Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
• Don’t freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
• Use special freezer bags, freezer lm, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty
grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don’t use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits.
Don’t use thin cling lm, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
• Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks
excessive air out of the packaging.
• Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most eciently if you freeze liquids (or solids with
liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as “Preforming”. Pour the liquid into a
polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it
from the container and seal the bag.
• Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use special
tapes, labels and pens with dierent colours. This allows you to easily organise and
to eectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date; otherwise the frozen food
might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your
food packaging for the recommended storage time.
Defrosting Frozen Food
1. Take the frozen food out and let it defrost at room temperature. Don’t forget that defrosting in a warm area
encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
2. Drain o and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
3. Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals
indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
4. Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
5. Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend
to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Cleaning
Defrosting
Frost may build up in the freezer compartment after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost
using the ice scraper.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10 mm. Choose a time
when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
1. Take out the food, turn the unit o at the mains supply, unplug the unit and leave the door open. Ideally,
the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of
newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
2. To remove melted frost from the drain hole, place a suitable container under it. Remove the drain cap on the
front of the unit. Reach down into the freezer and unscrew the drain plug.
3. Scrape away the frost using the plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be sped up by placing a
bowl of hot water inside the freezer compartment and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it
away with the plastic scraper and remove.
4. After all the water has drained away, replace the drain plug and then the drain cap.
5. When defrosting is complete, clean your unit’s interior and exterior.
6. When the compartment is completely clean and dry, close the door, switch on the freezer again and turn the
thermostat control dial to position MAX.
7. Leave the unit to cool down for an hour, and then you can start placing frozen food inside the unit.
Remember to turn the thermostat control dial to position MID after 4 hours.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
• Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a
sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry.
• Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the
door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
• The grille of the condenser at the back of the freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a
soft brush attachment.
Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use
any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the freezer.

Maintenance
Care When Handling / Moving the Unit
Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the
edges of the top surface.
Servicing
The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualied technician.
Switching O for Long Periods of Time
When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean
the unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable
raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in the unit and insulation materials require
special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be
obtained from your local council oce.
When disposing of an old unit break o any old locks or latches and remove the doors as a safeguard.

Troubleshooting
Power Cut
If you have a freezer thermometer, place it in the freezer where you can get easy access to it to read when the
power returns. If the internal temperature is -9°C or less when the power returns, your food is safe. The food in
your freezer will remain frozen for approximately 40 hours with the door closed. If you know the power is going to
be cut, 40 hours prior to the power cut, turn the thermostat control dial to position MAX, this will make the freezer
colder than normal. If there is no warning, turn the thermostat control dial to position MAX after the power cut.
Don’t open the door more than necessary.
The Freezer is Particularly Cold
You may have accidentally left the thermostat control dial on position MAX.
The Freezer is Particularly Warm
The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to position MAX . If there is no humming
noise, it is not working. Contact your local service agent where you purchased your freezer.
The Freezer is Not Working
Check if the Power indicator is illuminated. If not, check if the unit is plugged in and switched on. Check that the
fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working.
Condensation Appears on the Outside of the Freezer
Condensation may appear on the surface of the Chest Freezer, this is normal - wipe dry with a dry cloth.
This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe o any residue of moisture. If the problem continues
contact the local store where you purchased your freezer.
When your appliance is working, the condenser at the back (exposed models) may become hot or alternatively
the sides may become hot (hidden condenser models).
