OPERATION

ABCDE

C - Fast-freeze indicator light D - Operation light

E - Alarm indicator light

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Starting your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D) will light up to show that the appliance is on.

However, the alarm indicator light (E) will also light up until the freezer reaches the correct temperature.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet (A). To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the ÇOÈ position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, between 2 and 4. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

The internal temperature of the freezer is automatically adjusted by the thermostat to ensure safe food storage.

However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, high temperature and frequent door openings, it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting. To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control to a higher number; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control to a lower number.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch (B) to the left (fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (C) illuminates).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch should be activated about 24 hours before freezing fresh food. This time can be shortened, depending on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the top compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the ÇOFFÈ position; the yellow light (C) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation.

The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Frozen food storage

When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has been out of use for some time, we advise you to run your appliance for at least two hours in the Ç fast freezeÈ mode before storing frozen food.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Ice making

Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length.

Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice tray.

Thawing

Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will take longer.

Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Warning

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can cause a low temperature skin burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or Òfrost/freezer burnsÓ.

In the event of a power cut the food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and the freezer is full. Do not open the door . Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.
