ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the
frequency shown in the rating plate inside the appliance corresponds to your

electricity supply. Rating label is on the left hand side of the freezer liner.
We recommend that this appliance is connected to the mains supply via a

suitable switched and fused socket. The socket must be in an accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or should it need
replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead

which can only be obtained from a LAMONA Authorised Service Agent.

WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be
cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug which is cut off as a

plug with bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket
elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13 A fuse. Should the fuse
need to be replaced an ASTABEAB approved BS 1362 fuse of the same rating must
be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover
the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour
of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin
face of the plug. Fuse covers can be obtained from a LAMONA authorised service

agent.

IMPORTANT! FITTING A DIFFERENT PLUG

As the colours of the wires in the
mains lead of this appliance may

not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals

in your plug proceed as follows:
(See diagram).

1. Connect the green-yellow or
green (Earth) wire to the terminal

in the plug marked 'E' or with

the symbol or coloured

green and yellow or green.

2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire
to the terminal in the plug

marked 'N' or coloured black.

3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to
the terminal in the plug marked 'L'

or coloured red.
With alternative plugs a 13 A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or

in the main fuse box.
If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

TRANSPORTATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. The freezer should be transported only in a vertical upright position.

The packing as supplied must be intact during transportation.

2. If during the course of transport the appliance has to be transported horizontally,

the product must only be laid on its right hand side (when facing the door
front) and it must not be operated for at least 4 hours to allow the system to
settle after the appliance is brought back to upright position.

3. Failure to comply with the above instructions could result in damage occuring

to the freezer. The manufacturer will not be held responsible if these
instructions are disregarded.

4. The freezer must be protected against rain, moisture and other atmospheric

influences.

Important Notes :

1. If there is a power failure do not open the door. Frozen food should not be

affected if the failure lasts for less than 15 hours. If the failure is longer, then

the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then

re-frozen.

2. If you find the freezer door difficult to open just after you have closed it, don't

worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalise and allow the
door to open normally after a few moments.

3. You will hear a vacuum sound just after closing the door. This is quite normal.

4. When you switch on, the appliance will not start immediately, because the

appliance incorporates a protection device in the electronics - wait for about
5 minutes.

5. If the freezer door is left open [Or ajar], the door open alarm will be activated

in a few minutes. You will hear the audible alarm ''beep'' warning to make
you aware that the door is not shut fully. As soon as you close the door, the
audible alarm would cancel itself.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING

Final Check
Before you start using the refrigerator check that:

1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect levelling.

2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely.

3. Clean the interior as recommended under "CLEANING AND CARE."

4. Insert the plug into the wall socket and switch on the electricity supply.

5. You will hear a noise as the compressor starts up. The liquid and gases sealed

within the refrigeration system may also give rise to noise, whether the
compressor is running or not which is quite normal.

6. We recommend that you set the thermostat knob halfway between Min. and

Max. (See section Temperature Control and Adjustment).

7. Do not load the appliance immediately it is switched on. Wait until the correct
storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the
temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and
Adjustment).

1. To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it must be fixed in accordance
with the instructions.

2. Do not operate this appliance unless installed in furniture (The appliance should be
located on a smooth surface).

3. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to prepare your appliance for use.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

LED INDICATORS AND CONTROL PANEL

LED indicators in the front section of your refrigerator are intended to help you in
monitoring the operation of your appliance.
Keep your food in the refrigerator in a safe manner by monitoring and using these LEDs
and controls as explained below:

Fast Freeze Button (1): Use this to freeze food quickly (When you press the fast freeze
button there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal
and not a compressor fault).
Thermostat Setting Button (2): Used to set your refrigerator between minimum and
maximum values.

Temperature Indicator (3): Displays the inner temperature of your refrigerator.
Orange LED (4): Lights up when the fast freeze button on the LED panel is pressed. In

this case, your refrigerator operates continuously.
Press the button again when the food you would like to fast freeze comes to the desired
temperature and the orange LED will turn off.

Green LED (5): Lights up continuously after plugging in your refrigerator.
Red LED (6): It warns you by lighting up continuously when your freezer is not cold

enough because the door is open for a long time or excessive or too warm fresh food
is loaded for instance.

If the red LED lights up continuously when the conditions stated above do not exist, then
call our Authorized Service.

TEMPERATURE SETTING

The interior temperature of your refrigerator changes for the following reasons;

• Seasonal temperatures,

• Frequent opening of the door and leaving the door open for long periods,

• Food put into the refrigerator without cooling down to the room temperature,

• The location of the refrigerator in the room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
You may adjust the varying interior temperature due to such reasons by using the
thermostat. If the ambient temperature is higher than 43°C, turn the thermostat button
to maximum position.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

Prepacked commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
frozen food manufacturer's instructions for a frozen food storage
compartment.
To ensure that the high quality achieved by the frozen food manufacturer and the
food retailer is maintained the following should be remembered:

1. Put packets in the freezer as quickly as possible after purchase.

2. Do not exceed "Use By", "Best Before" dates on the packaging.
FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Freezing capacity of your appliance in a 24 hours period is 10 kg (22 lb). Never exceed this
maximum capacity.
If large amounts of fresh food is going to be frozen, press the fast freeze button ideally 8 hrs.
before putting the fresh food in the freezer.
It is strongly recommended to leave fast freeze button on for 24 hrs. to freeze the maximum
amount of fresh food declared as the freezing capacity.
When fast freeze button is on -27 °C will flash for 5 seconds on display.
Do not freeze too large a quantity at any one time.
You may place fresh food to be frozen in any part of the freezer.
Do not close air flow channels while loading.

Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.

CLEANING AND CARE

** We recommend that you switch off the freezer at the socket outlet and pull out
the mains plug before cleaning.

** Never use any sharp abrasive instrument, soap, household cleaner, detergent
and wax polish for cleaning.

** Use luke warm water to clean the cabinet of the freezer and wipe it dry.

** Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of
soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

** If the freezer is not going to be used for a long period of time switch it off,
remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

** To remove a drawer, pull it as far as possible, and then tilt it upwards, and
then pull it out completely.

** Check door seals regularly to ensure they are clean and free from food
particles.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice-cube tray 3/4 full with water and place it on the special Ice Bank.
Store ice-cubes in the Ice Bank.

DEFROSTING

The appliance defrosts automatically. The defrost water
drains into a plastic reservoir at the back of the appliance
and evaporates automatically.

Ensure that the reservoir is fixed properly above the
compressor.
