Position of the appliance

In determining the correct temperature
control setting, all these factors have to be
considered and some experimentation may
be necessary. Do not allow children to
tamper with the controls or play with the
product.

Adequate air circulation should be around
the appliance, this leads to
overheating. To a c h i e v e sufficient
ventilation, follow the instructions relevant
to the installation.

Wherever possible, the back of the product
should be against a wall to avoid touching
or catching warm parts (compressor,

Important!-High ambient temperatures

(e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting

Reason: when the ambient temperature is

frozen food should be rearranged to leave
space in the top two drawers for freezing.
The packets to be frozen should be placed
in the drawer in contact with the drawer
surface as far as possible and spaced apart
to allow cold air to circulate between them.
They should not touch existing packets. If
there is enough room, transfer the food you
have frozen to the baskets or drawers to
allow you to freeze a further load in the top
drawer. Exceptionally large items can be
stored by removing the drawer. Frozen food
should not be refrozen once it has thawed
out. Do not remove items from the freezer if
your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer
burns”.For safety reasons, the freezer
drawer are fitted with stops but are readily
removed by pulling them forward to the stop,
then lifting the front and pulling all the way
out. Refit by reversing this procedure.

Frozen food storage

The freezer compartment

The symbol means that your freezer will
store frozen food at -18°C(-0.4F) or colder
allowing for long term frozen-food storage
and freezing of fresh food. The freezer
temperature is controlled automatically by the
thermostat situated in the control panel. Due
to the different installations, methods of
usage and weather conditions, adjustments
to the temperature settings may be required.

These are best assessed against a
temperature reading on a thermometer
buried in the frozen food. The reading must
be taken quickly as the thermometer
temperature will rise rapidly after removal.

Freezing fresh food

Place the fresh food in the top freezer
drawer. Food may need rearranging to
achieve this. During the freezing process the
temperature of fresh food should be reduced
quickly so that ice crystals are kept as small
as possible to avoid damaging the structure
of food. If freezing takes place slowly large

ice crystals form and these will affect the
quality of food once it has defrosted.Existing

Pre-packed commercially frozen food should
be st o red i n ac c ord a nce wi t h t he
manufacturer's instructions for a 4 star
frozen food compartment and should be put
in the freezer as soon as possible after
purchase. Your freezer provides for long
term storage which generally means up to 3
months but the length of the time can vary
an d i t i s im po r ta nt t o f o ll ow t h e
recommended times shown on packets of
commercially frozen food. Do not place
sealed containers or carbonated liquids such
as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container which may cause
it to explode leading to damage to the
freezer. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not
be consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer as it may result in low
temperature skin abrasions.

Briefly set the knob to the Max position.The

In case of the maximum amount food to be

Noises during operation

Clicks- Whenever the compressor switches

on or off, a click can be heard.
Humming- As soon as the compressor is in
operation, you can hear it humming.
Bubbling- When refrigerant flows into thin
tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing
noises.
Splashing- Even after the compressor has
been switched off, this noise can be heard
for a short time.

Energy saving tips

Do not install the appliance near stoves,
radiators or other sources of warmth.
Keep the time the appliance is open to a
minimum.
Do not set the temperature colder than
necessary.
Make sure the side plates and back plate
of the appliance are at some distance
from the wall, and follow the instructions
relevant to installation.
If th e d iagr am shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as
it would produce an effect on energy
consumption.

Hints for freezing

When first starting-up or after a period out
of use. Before putting the food in the
compartment, let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

Make sure that commercially frozen food
was stored by the retailer.
Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly
and can not be re-frozen.
Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.

Note: If the appliance contains related

accessories and functions.

Prepare food in small portions to enable it
to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible to thaw
only the quantity required.

subsequently

Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or

and make sure that
the packages are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a
rise in the temperature of the latter.

polyethylene (plastic)

It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.

Iced products, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause skin to become freezer
