OPERATION
Freezer controls
Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C) will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet (E). To operate the freezer proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat control beyond the «» position. When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting. 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 towards max.; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light (D) lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where safe food storage is no longer ensured. When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 18 kg of fresh food.
When you first start the freezer, or after a period of non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch (A) to the left (fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (B) lights up). If the freezer is already in operation, the fast­freeze 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 compartments 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 «OFF» position; the yellow light (B) goes out. Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used for a further freezing operation. Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs. Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen. During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Before use

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 «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, we strongly recommend that you make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the consumer in the shortest possible time (a temperature increase of the frozen food could shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period indicated by the producer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Important
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer, can possibly result in 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 "frost/freezer burns".
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen food, do not open the door during the whole time of the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time.
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.
Ice making
Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.
Normal Operating Sounds
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing at the rear, to the fixed freezer shelves.
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or pulsating noise from the compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and out.
