POSITION
Place the freezer horizontally on a firm
surface, resting on all four feet. Use a
wooden block or similar object to
compensate for any bumps/holes in
the surface.
The room should be dry and
adequately ventilated.
If the room temperature is not between
10°C - 32°C, or falls below freezing
point, the freezer will not function as it
should.
Do not place the freezer close to
sources of heat, radiators, chimneys,
cooker, etc., and do not place the
freezer in direct sunlight.
If the freezer has been handled
standing on end it should be allowed to
stand in normal position for about 12
hours before switching it on.
Please ensure that when the appliance
is installed it is easily accessible for the
engineer in the event of a breakdown.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS.
Before switching on, make sure that the
voltage of your electricity supply is the
same as that indicated on the rating plate,
located inside the lid.
For your convenience, this appliance comes
complete with either a moulded-on or rewireable 13 amp (BS1363) plug, protected
by a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse.
In the event of having to change the fuse
in the plug supplied, a replacement 13
amp ASTA approved (BS1362) fuse must
be used.
In the case of a moulded-on plug, the fuse
cover MUST be refitted after changing
fuse. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged
the plug MUST NOT be used until a
replacement is obtained.
Warning:
This appliance must be earthed.

Replacement covers are avaliable from
your local electricity shop or nearest
customer service centre. The colour of
the replacement fuse cover must match
the colour insert or emboss on the base
of the plug.
In the case of a re-wireable plug care must
be taken to ensure that the top cover is
refitted without causing damage to either
the top cover or base. In the event of the
plug becoming damaged or cracked, it
must be replaced with an equivalent 13
amp, BS1363 approved plug (ref. fig. 1)
and rewired using the following
procedure:
SWITCHING ON
Before switching on, the freezer should
be cleaned inside. See under
Maintenance.
Set the thermostat control knob to a
medium setting. Allow the freezer to run
for several hours before placing food
inside.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Green and Yellow Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live

TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The thermostat ensures that the required
temperature is maintained in the freezer.
Adjust the temperature by turning the
control knob with a coin that fits the
groove. Turning the thermostat control
knob towards no. MAX makes the
temperature in the freezer colder, and
turning the control knob towards no. 1
makes the temperature warmer.
The correct setting can be found by
measuring the temperature of the top
package in the middle of the freezer. This
should not have a temperature warmer
than -18°C.
OPENING/CLOSING THE LID
The lid is fitted with a tightly closing sealing
strip to prevent moisture getting inside the
freezer and increasing the amount of frost
formed. When the lid is opened the air
inside the freezer becomes slightly warmer
and expands. As soon as the lid is closed
again the air is cooled immediately. This
may lead to the creation of a vacuum which
makes it hard to open the lid immediately
after it has been closed. This is quite
normal. Wait a few minutes until the
vacuum has disappeared, then open the
lid by pulling gently. Never pull the handle
violently.
CONTROL PANEL
The red signal light remains illuminated to
indicate that the internal temperature of
the applkiance is correct for safe of frozen
food. If the temperature is to high in the
appliance the light will go out.
The light may go out the following
reasons :
There is a power failure.
The lid has been recently opened.
A large quantity of food has been
added to the appliance.
There is a fault.
FREEZING
It is important that fresh food placed in the
freezer is frozen quickly, and that the food
already in the freezer is heated as little as
possible in this connection. If more than
3-4 kg of food is to be frozen:
Turn the control knob to MAX. The
freezer will now run continuously,
creating a sufficient reserve of the
temperature required.
Turn the control knob to MAX 6-24
hours before placing fresh food in the
freezer, depending on how much food
is to be frozen.
Place the food in the freezer and leave
the control knob set to MAX for about
24 hours more.

Return the control knob to a medium
setting. The freezer will return to
normal storage temperature. If you
forget to return the control knob to a
medium setting, the freezer will not be
damaged but energy will be wasted.
PACKAGING AND
POSITIONING
Food must be cold before freezing (no
more than room temperature).
Food must be packed in airtight and
moisture-proof packaging to prevent it
from drying out.
Place fresh food for freezing close to
the cold sides of the freezer, making
sure that it is not in contact with the
frozen food already in the freezer.
Never fill the freezer to more than 5
mm below the top edge.
See under Helpful hints.
CAPACITY
The freezing capacity of the freezer is
stated in the data plate (kg/24 hours). Do
not exceed the amount stated - if you do,
the freezing time will be extended. The
data plate is located inside the lid.
IMPORTANT
If you wish you freeze food several
days in a row, please observe a
maximum capacity of 2/3 of that on
the data plate. The quality if the
food is best preserved when it is
frozen right throught to the core as
quickly as possible.

LOCK
(Not a standard accessory for all models.)
The lock works as shown in the drawings.
Remember to keep the key out of the
reach of children.
BASKETS
The baskets are designed for the storage
of food which has already been frozen.
The handles can be placed in two
positions, as shown in the drawings.The
baskets can either be placed inside the
freezer or hung on the edge of the casing.
LOW FROST SYSTEM.
The patented LOW FROST System
reduces the ice-build-up in the chest
freezer by up to 80 percent, which results
in a longer period of time between
defrosting. To get the full benefit of the
system, please observe the following
points:
The amount of ice-build-up in any freezer
is very much dependent of the moisture of
the surrounding air. The ice will build up
quicker in a humid climate than in a dry
climate.
Therefore you should avoid installing your
freezer in very humid surroundings. The
LOW FROST system minimizes the
amount of ice caused by the natural
temperature cycle of the freezer.
However, ice-build-up from other sources
is not reduced. The most important other
sources are poorly wrapped food and
warm air introduced when the lid is
opened.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that
the lid isnt opened unnecessarily, and the
lid is not obstructed by packs of food
when closed.
If food stored in the freezer is not wrapped
properly, humidity from the food will settle
as ice on the freezer walls. Food quality
will also deteriorate, so ensure that food
put in the freezer is wrapped well.
Maintenance and Cleaning. The LOW
FROST system does not need any
maintenance or cleaning during normal
use. If needed the pipe can be wiped with
a soft cloth. Do not use any sharp or
piercing tools, as this may damage the
system.
STORAGE
Frozen food can be stored anywhere
inside the freezer, but should be kept at
least 5 mm below the top edge. Never
exceed the maximum storage time for
purchased frozen food.
When you buy frozen food, make sure that
it has been stored at the correct
temperature. Do not buy products which
have wet or damaged packaging. Place
purchased products in your freezer as
quickly as possible. We recommend using
an insulated bag to bring such products
home with you. Never place bottles, warm
objects, or fizzy drinks in the freezer.

FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Cool hot dishes to room temperature as
quickly as possible before placing them in
the freezer. Wrap food carefully in freezer
foil, or use the special freezer boxes or
bags which are on the market. Divide food
into small portions before freezing - this
ensures that freezing is more rapid, and
means that you only need to defrost the
amount needed for immediate
consumption. Remember that defrosted
food must not be re-frozen. However,
dishes which have been cooked using
defrosted fresh food may be frozen. Mark
the freezer packaging with the date of
freezing. We recommend keeping a
record of the contents of your freezer. If
freezing is too slow, the quality of the food
being frozen deteriorates. Consequently,
do not freeze larger amounts than stated
in the freezers data plate. If you wish to
freeze food several days in a row, the
maximum freezing capacity stated per day
is reduced by about one-third. As far as
possible, keep the lid closed during
freezing. If you know nothing about home
freezing, we recommend that you
purchase a book containing advice and
guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at
room temperature, since this increases
the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to
defrost large portions of meat or poultry in
the refrigerator, and this also applies to
food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g.
fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small
portions of food can be cooked straight
from the freezer. A good number of readyto-cook dishes can also be cooked
without defrosting. Always observe the
instructions on product packaging. Bread
tastes good when defrosted in a moderate
oven. Microwave ovens can be used for
the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods.
Observe the instructions for use of the
microwave oven concerned, especially
regarding foil dishes.
ACCESSORIES
Spare baskets can be obtained from
Expert Appliance Care. The illustrations
on this page show how many baskets can
be placed in the various freezer models.
Measure the length of your freezer and
Page 10
10
find the appropriate illustration. The
number above each illustration indicates
its length in millimetres.
DEFROSTING THE FREEZER
The formation of frost on the inside of
freezers cannot be avoided. Frost is
formed when moisture contained in the air
comes into contact with the cold surfaces
of the freezer. Consequently, the lid
should only be opened when necessary,
and it should never be left open. A thin
layer of ice or frost does not affect the
function of the freezer adversely, and can
be removed carefully using the scraper
provided.
Do not try to speed up defrosting by using
anything other than hot water, since this
may damage the freezer. After defrosting,
clean the inside of the freezer.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR
FREEZER INSIDE
Remove the plug from the mains socket,
and remove all loose accessories before
cleaning the freezer. The best time to
clean your freezer is after defrosting and
before the electricity supply is connected
again. Use a damp cloth to clean your
freezer. Use hot water, and a mild, nonaromatic cleaning agent. After cleaning
the freezer, clean the basket/baskets
before replacing them.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy
water. Do NOT use abrasive products.
WHEN NOT IN USE
Disconnect the appliance from the
electricity supply.
Remove all goods from the freezer.
Clean the freezer as described above.
Leave the lid slightly open.
IMPORTANT
Never use a knife or any other sharp
implement to remove frost.
IMPORTANT
Remember to replace the plug in
the drip water drain.
IMPORTANT
Never use strong cleaning agents,
scouring powder or strongly
aromatic cleaning agents to clean
your freezer inside, since this will
damage the inside and leave a
strong smell.
