This information has been provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read it carefully before installing or using the appliance.

Installation

¥ This appliance is heavy. Care should be taken

when moving it.

¥ It is dangerous to alter the specifications or attempt

to modify this product in any way.

¥ Any electrical work required to install this appliance

should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person.

¥ Parts which heat up should not be exposed.

Whenever possible, the back of the appliance should be close to a wall but leaving the required distance for ventilation as stated in the installation instructions.

¥ The appliance should be left for 2 hours after instal-

lation before it is turned on, in order to allow the refrigerant to settle.

Child Safety

¥ Do not allow children to tamper with the controls or

play with the product.

¥ Keep all packaging well away from children.

General Safety

¥ Take utmost care when handling your appliance

so as not to cause any damages to the cooling unit with consequent possible fluid leakages.

¥ The appliance must not be located close to radi-

ators or boilers.

¥ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to

direct sunlight.

¥ Do not use other electrical appliances (such as

ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating appliances.

During Use

¥ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,

specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs only.

¥ Frozen food must NOT be re-frozen once it has

thawed out.

¥ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freez-

er.

¥ Do not remove items from the freezer if your

hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.

sumed straight from the freezer.

¥ ManufacturersÕ storage recommendations should

be strictly adhered to. Refer to relevant instructions.

¥ The cooling plate or refrigerated freezer shelves

in this appliance contain channels through which the refrigerant passes. If these are punctured this will cause substantial damage to the appliance and result in food loss. DO NOT USE SHARP INSTRUMENTS to scrape off frost or ice. Under NO circumstances should solid ice be forced off the lining or shelves. Solid ice should be allowed to thaw, when defrosting the appliance. See Defrost Instructions.

catches are removed, to prevent young children being trapped inside.

Door reversal directions

1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.

2. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inch- es) of packing;

3. Remove the ventilation grill (D).

4. Unscrew the bottom hinge (E).

5. Slide out the fridge door from pin (G), unscrew the latter and then refit it on the opposite side;

6. Remove the two screws which mask the holes for fixing the hinge from the left hand side;

7. Replace the door and bottom hinge (E) on the opposite side.

8. Remove the plug (F) from the ventilation grill (D) and replace it on the opposite side. Re-assemble the ventilation grill (D).

Attention

After completion of the door reversiing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between 10¡C (50¡F) and 38¡C (100¡F). It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10¡C (50¡F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4Ó) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers.

Warning

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions on ÒDoor reversal directionsÓ paragraph.

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation, there are two spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure.

Slacken the screws and insert the spacer under the screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

OPERATION

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.

Control Panel

A - Alarm light

B - Fast freeze light

C - Fast freeze switch

D - Operation light

E - Thermostat control

Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (D) 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.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows: Turn the thermostat control beyond the Ç■È position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, although the temperature will be affected by:

- Room temperature

- How often the door is opened

- How much food is stored

- Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature control setting all these factors have to be considered and some experimentation may be necessary.

When altering the temperature setting, allow 24 hours for the temperature to stablise before making further changes

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards max; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards min. For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

Control Panel

A. Alarm light

If the alarm light illuminates, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has reached a level where the safe food storage is no longer ensured.

When the freezer is first switched on, the alarm light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

B. Fast freeze light

The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the fast freeze function is working.

C. Fast freeze button

When you place fresh food in the appliance, press the fast freeze button.

D. Operation light

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to show that the appliance is on.

E. Thermostat control

When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a medium setting by using a coin that fits the groove.

Min = lowest setting, minimum cold

Max = highest setting, maximum cold

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 22 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, press the fast freeze switch before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (B) lights up).
