III. Installation Instructions
Location
•When selecting a position for your Freezer you should make sure the floor is flat and
firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 16ºC
and 38ºC.
•Avoid locating your Freezer near a heat source, eg, cooker, boiler or radiator. Also
avoid direct sunlight in out-buildings or sun lounges. If you are placing your Freezer in an
out-building such as a garage or annex ensure that the Fridge is placed above the damp
course, otherwise condensation will occur on the Freezer cabinet.
•Never place the Freezer in a wall recessed or into fitted cabinets or furniture when your
Freezer is working, the grills at the back may become hot and the sides warm. It must
therefore be installed so that the back of the Freezer has at least 9 cm (31/2”) of free
space and the sides have 2 cm (3/4”).
•Do not drape the Freezer with any covering.
Leveling the Freezer
•If the Freezer is not level, the door and magnetic seal alignment will be affected and may
cause you Fridge to work incorrectly. Once the Freezer is placed in its final location,
adjust the leveling feet at the front by turning them until you have a leveled appliance.
Cleaning before use
•Wipe the inside of the Freezer with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse
with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets or draws in warm
soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the Freezer. The external parts of
the Freezer can be cleaned with wax polish.
Before plugging in
• IMPORTANT: Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied
with the Fridge.
Before switching on
•IMPORTANT: After the Freezer is properly installed and well cleaned, do not switch it on
immediately. Make sure you allow a minimum of 4 hours before turning on the power of
the refrigerator. The coolant fluid needs time to settle. If the appliance is switched off at
any time, wait 30 minutes before switching back on to allow the coolant fluid to settle
Before filling your Freezer
•Before storing foods in your Freezer, turn the Freezer on and wait for 24 hours to make
sure it is working properly and to allow the Freezer to reach the desired temperature.

10 If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual

1. Clean the parts of the Freezer with lukewarm clean water containing a neutral detergent,
then wipe them dry.
NOTE: Electric parts of the Freezer can only be wiped by a dry cloth.
2. Turn the thermostat knob to the "2" position, plug it into the wall outlet and then turn on
electricity. The compressor will begin to run.
3. Open the door 30 minutes later, if the temperature in the freezer has decreased
obviously, it shows that the cooling system works well.
Temperature Controls
1. The temperature control is a thermostat knob controlled by being turned with a coin. It is
located near the top of the unit.
2. Turning the thermostat knob adjusts the temperature of the freezer.
3. The marks on the knob represent different settings. Setting “1” is the warmest and setting
“4” is the coolest.
4. It is recommended to place the setting to “2” for normal operating conditions.
5. The achieved temperatures can vary according to the conditions of use of the appliance,
such as: place of the appliance, ambient temperature, and frequency of door opening, extent
of filling with food in the freezer.
6. Please remember each time the door is opened, cold air escapes and the internal
temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately
after food is put in or removed.

11 If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual
•It is important not to exceed storage time(s) recommended by food manufacturers of
any kind of food.
•Food should be wrapped in aluminum foil, or other types of airtight packaging.
•Do not allow frozen foods in freezer to touch foods just placed into freezer.
•Cool hot food down to the room temperature before storing or consumption of
electricity will increase and would lead to frost forming inside.
•Frozen foods purchased at a store should be placed in freezer promptly so they do
not thaw.
•The external room temperature should be between 16ºC and 38ºC.
•Internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of the freezer,
ambient temperature and the frequency of door opening. Therefore temperature
controls will need to be varied to allow for these factors.
•Effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer.
•Some products such as water ices should not be consumed straight from freezer as it
could cause frost bite.
•Store foods in the freezer based on the food manufactures recommended storage time.
•A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or
cleaning could shorten the storage life of your food.
•In the event of an extended power outage or refrigerator not running effectively to
temperature, take care that food does not spoil or food may have reduced its shelf life.
•Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: Allow pre-cooked food to cool down
before placing in the Freezer. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the
Freezer from rising.
•Shut the door: To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open
the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Freezer before
opening the door. Only open the door to put food in or take it out.
•Do not store flammable gases or liquids in the freezer.
Storage of Food and Handy Tips

12 If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual
Recommended storage periods
• For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food
packaging.
Cleaning inside the Freezer
•Do not pour water over the appliance.
•The cavity should be cleaned periodically using a solution of bicarbonate of soda
and lukewarm water (5m to 0.5ltr of water).
•Clean accessories separately with soap and water. Do not put them in dishwasher
•Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
•After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully.
•When you have finished cleaning reconnect the plug with dry hands.
Cleaning outside the Fridge
•Use standard non-abrasive detergent diluted in warm water to clean the Freezer exterior,
or a standard furniture polish for the exterior of Freezer. Make sure the door is closed to
prevent the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside.
•The grill of the condenser at the back of the Freezer and the adjacent components can
be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
•Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or solvents to clean any part of the Fridge.
Defrosting
• After a period of use, a thin layer of frost will be formed on the freezer compartment
inner wall (or evaporator) surface, which may affect the refrigeration performance if
exceeding 5mm in thickness. In such case, you need to gently scrape the frost off using
an ice scraper rather than the metal or sharp object. Frost needs to be cleared off every
3 months, or if the frost is affecting the normal use of the drawers and or the refrigeration
performance. Follow the following steps to remove frost:
1. Take out the frozen foods, shut off the mains power supply, open the refrigerator door,
and gently remove the frost from the inner wall with an ice scraper. To speed up the
thawing process, it is suggested to place a bowl of hot water inside the refrigerator/
freezer, and when the solid ice particles become loose, use an ice scraper to remove
from surface.
2. After defrosting, clean the fridge/freezer inside, and switch on the power supply.

V. Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
•If Power Cut?
>If internal temperature of freezer compartment is -18℃ or less when power returns
you are safe. The freezer will keep foods frozen for approximately 16 hours with the
door closed.
> Do not open the Freezer door more than necessary.
•The Freezer is exceptionally cold?
–You may have accidentally adjusted the thermostat control dial to a higher position.
•The Freezer is exceptionally warm?
–The compressor may not be working. Turn the thermostat control dial to the maximum
setting and wait a few minutes. If there is no humming noise, it is not working and you
should contact your after sales service provider.
•The Freezer is not working?
–Check it 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.
–The Freezer should be placed in a well ventilated room with an ambient temperature of
between 16ºC and 38ºC. Leave the Freezer for 30 minutes. If this doesn’t resolve your
problem, please contact your after sales service provider.
•Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer?
–This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue moisture.
If the problem continues contact your after sales service provider.
•Hearing noises such as Gurgling or Whooshing?
–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 affect the performance of your Fridge.
•Hearing noises such as humming, purring or pulsating?
–This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

14 If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual

Moving the Freezer

15 If you require any technical guidance or nd that the product is not operating as intended, please see the Troubleshooting section of this manual
How to Save Energy
1. Install the freezer in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away from
heating ducts or radiators. Do not place the freezer next to heat-producing appliances
such as a cooker, oven or dishwasher.
2. The freezer door should remain open only as long as necessary.
3. Do not place hot food inside the freezer.
4. Organise the freezer to reduce door openings.
5. The freezer door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption,
and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
6. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature consistent throughout the freezer.
For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food to facilitate the flow of air.
7. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
8. Do not overcrowd the freezer or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the freezer to
run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax
paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer
less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
9. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the
freezer, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should be left slightly open
to avoid mould and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the freezer when it is
reconnected.
10. During short absences (example: holidays), the freezer can remain on. However,
remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
Servicing
• This product should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts
should be used.
– Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the appliance yourself.
– Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious
malfunctioning.
