Make sure that the voltage marked on the rating label on the product corresponds with the voltage in your
home.
This quality product has been tested and certified to meet all applicable UK electrical and safety standards.
Installation and controls
FIGURE 2
SPACER
CONDENSER
The appliance is designed to work in room
temperatures between +16°C and +32°C.Do not
allow the room temperature to exceed +32°C
otherwise the temperature inside the freezer will
rise.
Fit the spacers onto the condenser tubes (Figure 2)
The freezer requires space around the casing for
efficient cooling and operation.The minimum
clearances are shown in Figure 3.
The freezer must be installed on a firm flat and
level surface for it to work quietly and efficiently.
Indicator lights
The indicator lights are on the front of the freezer
above the door. When they illuminate they indicate:
Yellow light Fast freeze on
Green light Power on
Red light Temperature warning light

Switching on
Plug the appliance into a nearby power socket and
switch on.The freezer control panel (Figure 4) is
positioned inside the door.It controls all the freezer
functions.
Use a coin to turn the temperature control to a halfway position on the dial and leave the appliance
running with the door closed for approximately two
hours.This will allow the inside temperature to
stabilise.The temperature warning light will stay
illuminated for some while after first switching on.
This is normal; the light will go out when the freezer
reaches its operating temperature.
Temperature control
The temperature scale runs from 1, the warmest
setting, to 5, the coldest. Use of a freezer
thermometer (not supplied) is recommended to
monitor conditions in the freezer.
Fast freeze function
Use the fast freeze function when freezing bulk
quantities of fresh food. Place the food in the upper
compartments marked
.
Switch on the fast
freeze function using the fast freeze button
(Figure 4).
When the button is pressed in (ON), the
temperature control is bypassed and the
compressor runs continuously which cools the
cabinet well below the level set on the temperature
control.There is therefore no need to adjust the
temperature setting when using fast freeze.
When you press the fast freeze button, there may
be a short delay before the compressor starts to
operate.This is normal and not a compressor fault.
When fast freeze is switched ON, the yellow light
will be illuminated.
FIGURE 4
Installation and controls (cont)
To cancel fast freeze, press the button and release
it.The yellow light will go out.
When fast freeze is no longer required switch it off
to minimise power consumption.The temperature
controller will then take over and regulate the
cabinet temperature as normal.
Temperature warning
If the temperature warning light comes on it
indicates that the temperature in the freezer cabinet
is warmer than the normal operating temperature. It
is usually a temporary condition; there could have
been a mains power failure for example. Do not
open the freezer door when the red light is on.
Depending on ambient conditions and time of year,
food will remain fully frozen for up to 20 hours in
this case. If the light remains on for longer than this
period contact the helpline number below.
Notes on operation
During normal operation the following noises may
be heard:
O Stifled murmur from compressor when it is
working.
O Soft gurgling from the refrigerant flowing
through the cooling system.
O Click from the thermostat switching on and off.

Precautions
Frozen food storage
The freezer is capable of producing very cold temperatures which may cause injury if safety precautions
are not observed:
Caution: Do not touch ice with bare skin to avoid ‘ice burns’.
OO
Do not attempt to freeze carbonated drinks such as fizzy pop, mineral water, champagne, etc. as the
bottles may break when frozen.Drinks in PEP plastic bottles must not be frozen.
OO
The freezer must only be used for the storing of edible foodstuffs.
OO
Frozen food that has thawed should not be re-frozen.
Food which has been purchased frozen should be kept in its original packaging. Maximum storage times
and expiry dates are usually given on the food packaging.
IMPORTANT
Do not re-freeze food that has thawed or partially thawed.
When cooking food you must ensure it has thoroughly thawed, especially impor tant regarding poultry and
seafood.
Do not overload the food baskets and always allow space between the packages of food.This ensures that
cold air is free to circulate, preventing the food packages from sticking together.
When freezing fresh food do not freeze too much food at one time. Do not exceed 4kg in 24 hours.
When removing ice cubes from the tray, it may help to hold the tray under r unning water for a few seconds
in order to loosen the ice.
When freezing hot food allow it to cool before placing it in the freezer. Always store it away from food which
is already frozen.
If there is a power failure do not open the freezer door.Frozen food should not be affected if the failure
lasts less than 20 hours. If the failure continues for longer than 20 hours, check the contents of the freezer.
Do not re-freeze food that has thawed or partially thawed.
When not in use
If the appliance is to be emptied and turned off for a long period it is advisable to:
OO
Disconnect the unit from the mains supply.
OO
Empty the fridge or freezer of food and allow any ice that has for med to melt.
OO
Clean and dry the interior.
OO
Leave the door open.

appliance.
Use a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda diluted in a pint of warm water.Wipe the internal surfaces and
leave to dry before reloading food.
Wipe the outside casing from time to time in order to remove dirt and dust from ventilation vents etc.
Keep water away from the thermostat housing.
Clean the door seals.
Remove accumulated dirt from around the compressor motor taking care not to damage the pipes and the
wiring.

Fuse and mains plug replacement
This product is supplied with a moulded plug
which contains a 13A fuse. If you are simply
replacing the fuse, you must use a 13A fuse which
has been approved by ASTA to BS1362 (Figure 5).
If the plug does not fit the socket or becomes
damaged, a new plug must be fitted. Replace the
original plug with the correct plug for your socket. If
this is a 3-pin (square pin) 13A (BS1363) plug, you
must make sure that it is fitted with an ASTA
approved 13A fuse.
If another type of plug is used, it must be protected
by a 15A fuse, either in the plug or at the
distribution board.
1. Cut off the existing fitted plug.
2. The wires in the mains lead supplied with this
appliance are coloured in accordance with the
following code (Figure 6):
GREEN/YELLOW = EARTH (E)
BLUE = NEUTRAL (N) BROWN = LIVE (L)
This product must be earthed
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may
not correspond with the colour markings identifying
the terminals in your new plug, proceed as follows.
The wire which is coloured GREEN or
YELLOW/GREEN must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter E or E
symbol or coloured GREEN or YELLOW/GREEN.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be
connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or coloured RED.
3. Ensure that the connections are tight and that no
loose strands are left out of the terminals.
IF IN ANY DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.
If the mains lead becomes damaged consult a
qualified electrician.
