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

Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer.

Control Panel

A. Alarm light

If the alarm light (A) illuminates, 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 alarm light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

B. Fast freeze control switch

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

Start your appliance

Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.

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

Turn the thermostat control (G) to a midway setting. The pilot light (F) will illuminate. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached before placing food inside.

To switch either section off the appliance turn the thermostat control to position “” .

C. Fast freeze light

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

D. Freezer pilot light

The pilot light is illuminated to show that the freezer section is on.

E. Freezer thermostat control knob

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to required setting.

F. Refrigerator pilot light

The pilot light is illuminated to show that the refrigerator section is on.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control (E) situated at the top of the cabinet.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control knob 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.

Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise to

required setting.

However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as

-poor ventilation,

-high temperature,

-frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

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.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 14 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 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 pressed about 2-3 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 upper compartment of the freezer as these are the coldest parts.

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the baskets, the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly less.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch; the yellow light (C) goes out.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments 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 12 hours in the «fast freeze» mode before storing frozen food.

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all drawers and baskets from appliance and place food on the cooling shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated on the side of the upper section (where applicable).

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.

Important

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

Ice Iollies, 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”.

Important

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