Energy Saving Tips
1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a
well ventilated area.
2. Ensure the time between buying
chilled/frozen food and placing
them in your appliance is kept at
minimum, particularly in summer. We
recommend you use a cool bag or a
special carrier bag to carry perishable
food.
3. Do not leave the door (s) of your
appliance open longer than
necessary and ensure they are closed
properly after each opening.
4. Defrost frozen food in the fridge
compartment, so that frozen food
acts as an ice pack to assist cooling
in the fridge.

4Before operating
Final Check
Before you start using the freezer
check that:
1. The feet have been adjusted and the
product is level.
2. The interior is dry and air can circulate
freely at the rear.
3. Clean the interior as recommended
under "CLEANING AND CARE."
4. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
Avoid accidental disconnection by
taping over the switch.
5. You will hear a noise as the
compressor starts up. The liquid and
gases sealed within the refrigeration
system may also give rise to noise,
whether the compressor is running
or not which is quite normal.
6. Front edges of the cabinet may feel
warm. This is normal. These areas
aredesigned to be warm to avoid
condensation.
7. Do not load the appliance
immediately it is switched on. Wait
until the correct storage temperature
has been reached. We recommend
that you check the temperature
with an accurate thermometer
(see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).
Important Notes :
1. If there is a power failure do not open
the door. Frozen food should not be
affected if the failure lasts for less than
19 hours. If the failure is longer, then
the food should be checked and either
eaten immediately or cooked and then
re-frozen.
2. If you find the freezer door difficult to
open just after you have closed it,
don't worry. This is due to the pressure
difference which will equalise and allow
the door to open normally after a few
minutes.
3. Always wrap food using a suitable
packaging material before storing
in your appliance to avoid contact
with the appliance surface and food
remains for hygiene reasons.
4. The appliance may go to OFF position
when the knob is adjusted below MIN.
When the green indicator light is OFF,
the appliance is turned OFF also.
Once it is turned OFF (even for
defrosting), please adjust the knob
somewhere above MIN to be sure that it
is turned ON again. When the appliance
is turned ON, the green indicator will
light up.

5Using your freezer
Storing the frozen food
Prepacked commercially frozen
food should be stored in accordance
with the frozen food manufacturer's
instructions for a frozen food
storage compartment.
The freezing area is marked with
symbol on the door liner.
To ensure that the high quality achieved
by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following
should be remembered:
1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly
as possible after purchase.
2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best
Before" dates on the packaging.
3. Please note that drawers, baskets,
flaps, trays are all removable.
Defrosting
Defrost twice a year or when a frost
layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed.
To start defrosting procedure turn the
thermostat knob to zero position
(Alternatively you may switch off the
freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug.)
All food should be wrapped in several
layers of newspaper and stored in a
cool place (e.g. fridge or larder).
Remove all freezer drawers.The
special defrost collection basin collects
the defrost water. Therefore defrosting
can be conducted without mess.
Containers full of warm water may be
placed carefully in the freezer to speed
up the defrosting.
Do not use pointed or sharp edged
objects such as knives, forks to remove
the frost.
Never use hairdryers, electrical heaters
and other similar electrical
appliances for defrosting.
When defrosting has finished, sponge
out any defrost water which collects at
the bottom of the freezer and dry the
interior thoroughly. Turn the thermostat
knob to mid point. Close the freezer
door. Insert the plug into the wall socket
and switch on the electricity supply.
