STARTING
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. Slight undulation of the top of the cabinet is quite normal due to the manufacturing process used, so do not worry, it is not a defect.
7. Front edges of the cabinet may feel warm. This is normal. These areas are designed to be warm to avoid condensation.
8. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob at 3 and monitor the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (see section Temperature Control and Adjustment).
9. 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 :
TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT
Temperature is controlled by the thermostat which is located on the rear wall of the cabinet (see the diagram on page 5). Thermostat knob is located on the thermostat housing. "Number 4" is the coldest setting. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). Lower temperatures may be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards 'number 4 ' position.
We recommend that you check the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember you must take your reading very quickly since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer.
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.
OFF
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 16.5 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.

STORING FROZEN FOOD
Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a

CLEANING AND CARE
** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.
** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent and wax polish for cleaning.
** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.
** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.
** Excess deposit of ice should be removed on a regular basis using the handle of a spoon. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.
** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.
** To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and then pull it out completely.
** Any dust that gathers on the condenser, which is located at the back of the freezer, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.
** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food particles.
** Never :
• Clean the worktop with unsuitable material; eg petroleum based products.
• Subject it to hot temperatures in any way,
• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.
** Take care when installing your appliance and using it for the first time, during
normal daily use, while defrosting and cleaning the interior freezer compartments not to damage cold panels and pipes and to avoid any injury. We recommend the use of a pair of gloves when cleaning the cold panels as you might injure your fingers and hands and/or damage the appliance beyond repair.
DO'S AND DON'TS
Do- Check contents of the freezer at regular intervals. Do- Clean and defrost your freezer regularly (See "Defrosting") Do- Keep food for as short a time as possible and adhere to "Best Before", "Use By" dates. Do- Store commercially frozen food in accordance with the instructions given on the packets that you buy. Do- Always choose high quality fresh food and be sure it is thoroughly clean before you freeze it. Do- Prepare fresh food for freezing in small portions to ensure rapid freezing. Do- Wrap all foods in aluminium foil or freezer quality polythene bags and make sure any air is excluded. Do- Wrap frozen food when you buy it and put it in to the freezer as soon as possible. Do- Separate food in the compartments. This will enable you to find food quickly and avoid excessive door opening therefore save electricity. Do- Remove ice cream from the freezer 10-20 minutes before serving. Don't- Leave the door open for long periods as this will make the freezer more costly to run and cause excessive ice formation. Don't- Use pointed sharp edged objeects such as knives, forks to remove the ice. Don't- Put hot food into the freezer. Let it cool down first. Don't- Put liquid-filled bottles or sealed cans containing carbonated liquids into the freezer as they may burst. Don't- Store poisonous or dangerous substances in the Freezer. Your freezer has been designed for the storage of edible foodstuffs only. Don't- Exceed the maximum freezing capacity (10.5 kg in any 24 hours) when freezing fresh food. Don't- Consume ice-cream and water ices direct from the freezer. The low temperature may cause 'freezer burns' on lips. Don't- Freeze fizzy drinks. Don't- Try to keep frozen food which has thawed, it should be eaten within 24 hours or cooked and refrozen. Don't- Remove items from the freezer with wet hands. Don't- Close the door before placing the fast-freeze compartment cover in its place. Don’t- Leave frozen food at room temperature to thaw; the best way to defrost
food is to put it in the fridge to thaw slowly. Make sure you avoid defrosting food or food juices drip onto other food.
