Using your freezer
Before switching on
o Make sure that it has been installed by a suitably qualified
person, as per the information contained in the installation
instructions.
o After delivery, wait for eight hours before connecting the
appliance to your mains supply. This will allow any refrigerant
gasses that may have been disturbed during the transportation
process to settle.
o The outside of the appliance and the removable
accessories contained within it, should be cleaned
with a solution of liquid detergent and water.
8
Page 9
o The interior of the appliance should be cleaned with a solution of
sodium bicarbonate dissolved in lukewarm water. The interior
and accessories should be thoroughly dried, after the cleaning
process has been completed.
o There can be an odour when you first switch on the appliance. It
will lessen as the appliance starts to cool.
During first use
o When you first switch on the appliance, the compressor will run
continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the freezer
reaches a cool enough temperature.
o During this period of time, you should try not to open the door
frequently or place a large amount of food within the appliance.
o If the unit is switched off or unplugged, you must allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.
Turning on the appliance and setting the thermostat
You switch on your appliance by connecting it to your mains supply
and setting the thermostat. The thermostat dial is located at the base
of the freezer.
o The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside
the freezer, depending on what number you have turned the
thermostat control knob to.
o Position <0> means that the appliance will not cool.
o Position <1> will give you a higher temperature inside the
freezer.
o Position <5> will give you a lower temperature inside the
freezer.
9
Page 10
o Position <SF> will cause the compressor to run continuously
with maximum performance. The freezer temperature will
decrease and the appliance will switch to the lowest
temperature. This can be used for food that needs to be frozen
quickly. You should place the food to be frozen quickly ideally in
the middle drawer. Once the food is frozen the thermostat dial
should be returned to the normal setting.
o Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position between <3>
to <4>.
o IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room,
the temperature of food and the amount of food that
has been placed in the appliance and how often the door
is opened, will all affect the temperature being
maintained by the appliance.
o On the maximum settings (position <5> and <SF>), your fridge
will work harder to maintain a lower temperature and will
increase the energy usage. There is no need to run your
appliance on these settings for prolonged periods and you should
return the thermostat knob to between <3> to <4>.
o Compressor light: This glows orange when the compressor is
running. In the <SF> mode the light will be on continuously.
o Power light: This lights green automatically when the appliance
is connected to the power supply.
o Alarm light: This lights red when the temperature rises to a
critical point inside of the freezer and the food is in danger of
thawing.
Arranging and storing food in the freezer
o The freezer should be used for freezing fresh foods and for
storing frozen foods for the period of time indicated on the
packaging and for making ice cubes.
o For freezing fresh food, wrap and seal fresh food properly. The
packaging should be air tight and should not leak. Special
freezer bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade or double wrap),
polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
o The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24
hours is 9 kg.
10
Page 11
o For optimum appliance performance and to reach maximum
freezing capacity, turn the thermostat dial to the <SF> position
when placing fresh food in the freezer.
o After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours on <SF> mode
is generally sufficient. After 24 hours you should deactivate the
<SF> mode by turning the thermostat back to its normal
position.
o IMPORTANT: In order to save energy, when freezing small
amounts of food, the <SF> function is not necessary.
o Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact
with the already frozen food.
o Always mark the date and content on the pack and do not
exceed the stated storage time.
o In case of power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment
will maintain a sufficiently low temperature for food storage for a
period of time. However, avoid opening the freezer door to slow
down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
o Never place warm food into the freezer compartment.
o When purchasing and storing frozen food products, ensure that
the packaging is not damaged.
o The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing
frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and
using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is
provided the food should not be stored for longer than 3 months.
o Place the frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as
possible after buying it.
o Once the food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. You must
cook it as quickly as possible in order to consume or to freeze it
once again.
o If you want to use the maximum capacity, you can remove the
drawers and store the items directly on the cooling tubes. This
will enable you to make use of the entire volume of the
compartment but you must ensure you do not overload the
freezer as this will affect the performance.
o Do not open the freezer door too often or leave the door open
for long periods of time, as this will increase the temperature
inside of the appliance and will increase the energy usage.
11
Page 12
o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then
the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
Making ice-cubes
o When making ice-cubes, fill the ice tray 2/3 with water and place
it in the freezer compartment.
o After the water has completely turned to ice, you can twist the
tray as shown in the diagram above in order to release the icecubes.
Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct
sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy
consumption can increase substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases
the efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost whenever the
frost reaches 5 mm thickness.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent
that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to
the efficiency of your appliance.
12
Page 13
Usage:
o Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
o Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree
can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to
check the temperature.
o The freezer should operate at -15 to -18 degrees Celsius.
o Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o In the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never
grouped or stacked together until they are completely frozen.
o If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the
appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that
it is stored with the power off and the door left ajar until it is
actually required.
Disposing:
o If you're going to throw out your old freezer, see if there's a
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The
government department which looks after the environment in
your area may be able to help you.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING: PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOUR
APPLIANCE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
YOUR MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT.
o Do not clean the appliance by pouring water onto
it or spraying water over it.
o The freezer should be cleaned periodically, using a
solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
13
Page 14
o Clean the accessories separately with soap and water.
Do not clean them in a dishwasher.
o Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps.
o After washing the appliance, wipe over the area that you have
cleaned with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly.
o When cleaning is complete, dry your hands and then reconnect
the plug to your mains supply.
Defrosting the freezer
IMPORTANT: Never use sharp metal tools to remove the frost
as this can damage the refrigeration circuit.
o After a period of time, frost will build up in certain areas in the
freezer compartment. The frost should be removed periodically.
You can use a plastic ice-scraper for this procedure.
o A complete defrost will become necessary if the frost layer
exceeds 3-5 mm to maintain the efficiency of the freezer.
o The day before you defrost, set the thermostat dial to position
<5> to freeze the foods completely.
o During defrosting, frozen foods should be wrapped in several
layers of paper and kept in a cool place. The inevitable rise in
temperature will shorten their storage life. Remember to use
these foods within a relatively short period of time.
o Set the thermostat dial to position <0> and switch off the
appliance.
IMPORTANT: You must unplug the appliance from the mains
supply before continuing.
o Leave the door open to accelerate the defrosting process.
Remove the defrost water from the compartment. If there is
defrost water on the freezer floor you can clear it up using a
sponge.
14
Page 15
o Clean the interior by hand using lukewarm water and a little
detergent. NEVER use abrasive products or aggressive
cleaning agents.
o Dry the inside of the appliance and plug in the mains. Set the
thermostat dial to position <5> for 24 hours before resetting the
thermostat dial to the normal position.
o IMPORTANT: Do not reintroduce the food into the freezer
until it has sufficiently cooled.
Installation
IMPORTANT: Before installation and usage,
read all the instructions and make sure that the
voltage (V) and the frequency (Hz) indicated on
the rating plate are exactly the same as the
voltage and frequency in your home. The rating
plate can be found on the front left edge of the
