Accessories

• After placing fresh food in the freezer,
the 24 hours setting on the "5" position is
generally sufficient. After 24 hours, reset
the thermostat to the desired position
(Recommendation).

•Attention: in order to save energy, when

freezing small amounts of food the fast
freze function can be deactivated.

•Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to

come into contact with already frozen food.

• Always mark the date and the content on
the pack and do not exceed the stated
storage time.

• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the
freezer compartment will maintain a suffi
ciently low temperature for food storage.
However, avoid opening the freezer door
in order to slow down the temperature rise
within the freezer compartment.

• The maximum amount of fresh foods that
can be loaded in the freezer within 24
hours is indicated on the name plate (see
Freezing Capacity).

• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment.

• When purchasing and storing frozen food
products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.

• Storage time and recommended
temperature for storing frozen food is
indicated on the packaging. For storing

water and place in the freezer compartment.
After the water has completely turned into
ice, twist the tray to get the ice cubes out.

Cleaning and maintenance

Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271

General

•Do not pour water over the appliance.

• Clean the accessories separately with
soap and water. Do not put them in the
dishwasher.

•Do not use abrasive products, detergents
or soaps. After washing, rinse with
clean water and dry carefully. When the
cleaning operations have been completed,
reconnect the plug with dry hands.

Warning: never use sharp
metal tools for this operation
unless recommended by the
manufacturer, as they can
damage the freezing circuit.

General Defrosting the freezer

After a period of time, frost will build up in
certain areas in the freezer compartment. The
frost, accumulated in the freezer, should be
removed periodically using the ice scraper (if
available).

Ice scraper

To maintain the efficiency of the freezer,
complete defrosting will become necessary if
the frost layer exceeds 3-5mm.

• The day before you defrost, set the
thermostat dial to position “5” to freeze the
foods completely.

• 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.

• Set the thermostat knob to position “ ” and
switch off the appliance.

• Leave the door open to accelerate
defrosting. Remove the defrosted water
from the compartment.

• If there is defrosted water on the freezer
floor, you can clear it away by using a
sponge.

• Clean the interior by hand with lukewarm
water and a little detergent. Never use
abrasive products or aggressive cleaning
agents.

• Dry the inside of the unit, plug it into the
mains, and set the thermostat knob to
position “5”. After 24 hours, reset the
thermostat to the desired position.

Trouble Shooting

Customer Helpline: 0345 257 7271

If your freezer is not working properly there may be a minor problem, therefore check the following

Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions

The appliance does not operate There is a power failure

The mains plug is not properly
plugged in, or is loose

The thermostat setting is on
position " "

The appliance performs poorly You have overloaded the

appliance
The doors are not closed

perfectly

There is a noise The cooling gas which circulates

in the freezer circuit may make
a slight noise (bubbling sound)
even when the compressor is
not running. Do not worry, this
is quite normal. If these sounds
are different check if;

• The appliance is installed
firmly as described in the
section of this instruction
manual

• Objects on the appliance are
vibrating

The socket is defective. To check
this, plug in a fully operable
appliance into the same socket

There is not sufficient ventilation
around the appliance

Important notes

• In case of a sudden power loss or
disconnecting reconnecting of the plug
to the electrical socket, the compressor’s
protective thermal element will be opened
as the pressure of the gas in the cooling
system of your freezer has not yet been
balanced. 4 or 5 minutes later, your freezer
will start to operate; this is normal.

• If you will not be using your freezer for a
long time (holiday, etc...), disconnect the
plug from the socket. Clean your freezer as
per page 16 of this document and leave the
door open to prevent any humidification or
odour formation.

If there is still a problem with your freezer
despite following the instructions in this book,
please consult your nearest authorized
service center, or call the customer help line
on 0345 257 7271.
