Instruction Manual | 7
General use of the Freezer
• The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen
food
• Never put hot foods in the freezer, allow food to cool fully
before storing them in the freezer
• Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of
frozen food. If no information is provided, foods should not
be stored for more than three months after the purchase date
• Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before
putting into the fridge
• Store food in small packages (ideally less than 2.5kg). This
reduces the freezing time and improves the quality of the food
after thawing
• Wrap food before putting into the freezer. To stop the wrapping
sticking together, ensure it is dry
• Label the food before freezing with information including type
of food and dates of storage and expiry
• Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen unless it has been
completely cooked. Only defrost as much food as is required, to
prevent wastage
• Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer
compartments as they could explode
• Check the rating plate to confirm the maximum amount of fresh
food that can be frozen within a 24 hour period
• Do not attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount
• To freeze fresh food more quickly, set the temperature control to
setting 5 a few hours prior to placing food in the freezer
remembering to return the setting back to your preferred
setting once the food is frozen

8 | Instruction Manual
Storage and use
This freezer is suitable for storing deep frozen food (food which
has already been frozen before being added to the freezer), for
storing fresh food for a short period (2-3 weeks) by freezing it and
for making ice and ice cream.
Always remember to observe and
adhere to the recommended expira-
tion date of food.
Fresh food, and food which needs to
be stored for a long period, should
be kept at a temperature of -18°c or
below.
For this, we recommend using setting
3 or 4
If food only needs to be stored for
a short period then a setting of 2 or
3 will suffice.

on 5 or the super freeze all of the time. This well help to alleviate
strain on the compressor and system.
B. Freezer temperature setting display
This display will illuminate the current temperature setting. Adjusting
the temperature will cycle through this display.
Please note: You do not use numbers 1 to 5 or the snowflake to

Super freeze function
The 6th setting on the control panel, represented by the snowflake
(Fig. 3), is a super freeze function. This should be used when
freezing large quantities of food all
at once. Activate this function 2 or
3 hours before introducing the
food and do not leave it to run for
more than necessary. Leaving it to
run for longer will place
unnecessary strain on the cooling
system. The function will
automatically deactivate after
approximately 24 hours.
Care and cleaning
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
any cleaning or maintenance.
The freezer should be cleaned using a solution of bicarbonate
of soda and lukewarm water. Do not use abrasive products or
detergents. After washing, rinse and dry thoroughly.

washing up liquid and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher.
If the appliance is not to be used for prolonged periods of time,
unplug and clean the appliance. The doors should be left slightly
ajar to prevent the formation of mildew and unpleasant odours. It
is important however that you ensure that no child or person could
become trapped in the appliance.
