Refrigerant Gas Information
IMPORTANT: This appliance is provided with refrigerant
gas, ISOBUTHANE (R600a). When moving the appliance
take care to ensure that it is not excessively struck or
shaken. Failure to do so could damage the appliance.
Damage to the refrigerating circuit, with possible leaking of
refrigerating gas, could create a risk of explosion caused by
external sparks or ames.
In the event of accidental leakage
Allow the material to evaporate if there is adequate
ventilation.
Behaviour of the gas
This refrigerant gas is highly ammable so do not allow the
gas to come into contact with hot surfaces or naked ames.
Gas R600a is heavier than air: if released it forms a high
concentration at oor level where ventilation is poor.
First aid
Inhalation
Take the exposed person from the polluted area and carry
them to a warm, well ventilated place.
Long exposure can cause the onset of asphyxia and
possible loss of consciousness. If necessary, practice articial
respiration, and in the most serious cases, administer oxygen
under close medical supervision.
Skin contact
It is unlikely that occasional contact with the skin is
dangerous. If this should happen, thoroughly wash the
aected zone.
Liquid splashes and atomised liquid can cause freezing burns.
Wash the aected part with plenty of water and call a doctor
to treat any burns.

The freezer is shown in Fig.2-1 and has the following features:
• Manual defrost
• Adjustable thermostat
• LED controls
• Temperature rise warning indicator
• Fast freeze function
• 3 wire drawers
• Reversible door
• Door-on-door fittings
• Adjustable feet
About the Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment consists of 3 wire drawers and an
ice tray.
The freezer compartment temperature must have already
reached –18 °C (or lower) before you attempt to store food
that is already frozen or freezing fresh food.
Certain areas of the freezer are better for storage of certain
foods.
Ice creams and water ices are best stored towards the rear of
the appliance where it is coldest.
Large/heavier portions of food, such as meats joints for
roasting are best stored in the drawer at the bottom of the
appliance, while less weighty items should be stored in the
upper drawers: this is to prevent damage to the appliance.
Always make sure that food stored is suitable for freezing, and
that you have stored it securely inside the appliance.
Defrosting Food for Cooking
Should food become partially thawed, or defrosted it should
be consumed as soon as possible as the quality will be
a ected by defrosting.
Always make sure that food is thoroughly defrosted
before cooking and no ice crystals remain. This
is especially important for poultry, as this can be
extremely harmful to health.
Always follow the defrosting instructions on packaging when
defrosting ready meals. Manufacturers’ guidelines are always
best, as some frozen foods should be cooked from frozen.

Setting the thermostat
The thermostat control knob is located on the control panel
at the top of the freezer (Fig.2-3).
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature
inside of the freezer, depending on what number you have
turned the thermostat control knob to:
• Position [0] means that the freezer will not cool.
However, the power light will still function.
• Position [1] will give you a higher temperature inside of
the freezer.
• Position [4] will give you a lower temperature inside of
the freezer.
• Ideally the thermostat should be set to a position of
between [2] to [3].
• The freezer can cool to –18 °C and lower.
IMPORTANT: The ambient temperature of the room, the
temperature of the food and the amount of food that has
been placed in the appliance and how often the door is
opened, will all a ect the temperature being maintained by
the appliance.
On the maximum setting (position [4]), the freezer will
work harder to maintain a lower temperature. There is no
need to run the appliance on this setting for long periods
and you should return the thermostat knob to between
[2] and [3].
During First Use
Switch on the appliance for the rst time, and set the
thermostat dial to maximum for 24 hours.
When you rst switch on the appliance, the compressor will
run continuously for approximately 24 hours or until the
freezer reaches a cool enough temperature.
Note: During this time, try not to open the door frequently or
place a large amount of food within the appliance.
You should then adjust the thermostat dial down to its
normal operating position.
If the unit is switched o or unplugged, allow at least 5
minutes before restarting the appliance on the thermostat or
connecting it to your mains supply.

Fresh food should be packed into airtight containers or
packaging. This will help to make sure that the food does not
dry out or lose its avour. It will also make sure that avour
does not transfer from other foods.
DO NOT allow fresh food to touch items that are already
frozen.
After 24 hours check that the fresh food is satisfactorily
frozen. If it is, then turn down the thermostat to its normal
setting (between [2] and [3]).
Freezing with Fast Freeze
Press the Fast Freeze switch (Fig.2-5) and the freezer will start
to run continuously at its maximum setting. The orange Fast
Freeze light will come on.
There is no need to adjust the thermostat knob.
The freezer temperature will decrease and the appliance will
get to its lowest temperature.
Place the food that is to be frozen inside the freezer.
Once the food is frozen, switch o the fast freeze setting.
DO NOT switch o the Fast Freeze setting until the
food is fully frozen.
Fig.2-5
The orange fast freeze light will go out and your appliance
will return to normal operation.
DO NOT leave the appliance running in Fast Freeze
mode for longer than 24-hours at a time.

3. Food Storage Tips
Tips on Freezing Food
• As with storing fresh foods, suitable packaging, correct
temperature and food hygiene will enhance the quality
of the food you are freezing.
• Avoid putting hot foods into the freezer. First let them
cool until they reach room temperature.
• Make sure that all foods for freezing are of a high
quality, and suitable for freezing.
• Use packaging material that is odourless and airproof
(such as plastic bags) to store food in so different foods
can be mixed without affecting the quality. Make sure
that it is airtight. Leaking packaging will dehydrate the
products and lead to loss of beneficial vitamins.
• Keep the surface of the packaging dry: this keeps the
packs from freezing together.
• Mark packages with the kind of food contained and the
date of storage.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly, so it is best to freeze
small portions whenever possible and to make sure
that they are as cold as possible before storage. The
recommended maximum weight for each portion is
2.5kg.
• Keep food which is fresh away from food which is
already frozen, if you need to freeze fresh food every
day, make sure that it is in small portions to prevent this.
• Do not exceed the maximum load for freezing, which is
given as 9kg / 24-hours (see data badge for details).
• Write the expiry date and food names on the outside of
the packaging so you can be assured of the food type
and when it is safe to eat.
• Take food from the freezer to defrost when needed.
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen unless it is cooked.
• Do not put too much fresh food into the freezer at once.
This could go beyond the freezer’s cooling capacity (see
‘Technical Data’).
• When storing commercially frozen foods, please follow
these guidelines:
• Always follow manufacturers’ guidelines for the length
of time you should store food for. Do not exceed these
guidelines!
• Try to keep the length of time between purchase and
storage as short as possible to preserve food quality.
• Buy frozen foods, which have been stored at a
temperature of –18°C or below.
• Avoid buying food which has ice or frost on the
packaging. This indicates that the products might have
been partially defrosted and refrozen at some point:
temperature rises affect the quality of food.
• Should there be a power cut or the freezer fails for any
length of time, you may need to remove food from the
freezer and store in a cold, hygienic place (i.e. garage
or outhouse area) until the power is restored or the
appliance is repaired.
To prevent undue temperature rises, you should wrap
the foods in layers of insulating material, such as
newspaper, to help to maintain their temperature. It is
also important that any food aected by this situation
should be either consumed or cooked and refrozen
(where suitable) soon afterwards in order to prevent
health risks.
Layers of newspaper can also be used to help keep
foods cold while you are defrosting the freezer (see
‘Cleaning and Maintenance’).

You should also check the door seal of the appliance. The seal
should not be creased or crushed; otherwise there will be a
gap between it and the inside of the door.
The seal must adhere properly all the way around the door.
If the seal is not adhering to the cabinet properly, then you
should either:
A. Use a warm damp cloth and manipulate the seal until it
does adhere to the cabinet properly, all the way around
the door, or
B. Use a hair dryer on its lowest heat setting and lightly
heat the areas of the door seal that are not adhering
correctly. The heat will make the seal more pliable
and this will allow you to manipulate the seal into the
correct position.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT heat the door seal on anything but
the lowest heat setting or heat the seal for a long period
of time, otherwise you may damage the door seal, which
would NOT be repaired under the guarantee free of charge.

5. Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before cleaning.
To maintain a high performance level, occasionally clean the
condenser coils at the back of the appliance.
Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice
decreases the eciency of the appliance. You should defrost
whenever the frost reaches 5mm thickness.
To keep internal odours to a minimum it is best to periodically
clean the compartment.
Clean the interior using warm water and bicarbonate of soda
with a soft cloth. Make sure that the interior is then dried
carefully with a suitable cloth.
DO NOT use harsh abrasives, or aggressive cleaners
as these can damage the interior of the appliance.
Shelves and other accessories can be cleaned in the sink
using liquid dishwashing liquid and warm water. Make sure all
soap is rinsed o and all parts are dry before replacing them
inside the appliance. DO NOT clean them in a dishwasher.
Always keep the door seals clean. Clean the door gasket with
warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no residue. A
tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the eciency of your
appliance.
DO NOT place food back in the freezer once it has
started to thaw.
Set the thermostat knob to position [0] and disconnect the
appliance from your mains supply.
Leave the door to the freezer open. You can place a bowl
of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrost
process.
Use a sponge to mop up the defrost water that will run into
the bottom of the freezer.
IMPORTANT: You should place some old towels on the
ooring that is immediately in front of the appliance. In
case any defrost water comes out of the freezer and onto
the oor.
Once all the ice has melted, thoroughly dry the inside of the
freezer.
IMPORTANT: If the inside of the freezer is not dry, then
there will be an immediate build-up of ice when the
appliance is switched back on.
With dry hands, reconnect the appliance to the mains supply.
Set the thermostat knob to position [4] for 24-hours, before
returning it to the normal setting of between [2] and [3].
DO NOT attempt to freeze fresh food inside the
freezer until after the 24-hours.
DO NOT spray or rinse the freezer with water or
other liquids. This could harm the electrical parts.
Use a dry cloth when cleaning near the electrical
parts.
DO NOT clean the freezer with a sti or wire brush.
DO NOT use an organic solvent such as detergent,
petrol, lacquer, thinners, acetone or acid.
To prevent your skin sticking to cold steel parts,
make sure your hands are not wet when touching
the parts.
Defrosting
The frost in the freezer compartment should be removed
periodically. Use a plastic scraper to keep down the amount
of frost that builds up.
IMPORTANT: The freezer should be defrosted at least twice
a year. The number of times that you need to defrost it will
depend on the setting of your thermostat and how much
food you freeze and store in the freezer.
The day before you defrost, turn the thermostat dial to
position [4]. This will make sure that the food contained in
the freezer is frozen properly.
DO NOT use sharp metal objects to remove the ice
on the freezer, as this could cause damage to the
refrigerant system.
DO NOT use mechanical devices (such as hair dryers)
to accelerate the defrosting process.
When Not in Use
If you are not using the appliance for an extended length
of time, it is recommended that you switch o the electrical
supply, empty any food out, clean the inside of the appliance
and leave the door ajar.
This will save energy, and also prevent a build up of stale
odours inside.
While defrosting the appliance, remove the food from the
freezer, wrap it in several layers of paper and store it in a cool
place. The temperature rise in foods will shorten its storage
life, so the food should be used within a relatively short time.

6. Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT: If your freezer appears not to be operating properly, before contacting Consumer Services, please refer to the
checklist below.
My freezer does not appear to be working / there is no
power to my appliance
• Check that the plug is fully inserted into the power
socket.
• Check that there is power to your mains supply (e.g.
that there has not been a power cut or that the fuse
has not blown).
• Check that the thermostat inside the appliance has
not been turned to the [0] position.
• Check that your mains supply voltage, corresponds
to the voltage stated on the rating plate of your
appliance.
My freezer appears to be performing poorly
• Check that the appliance is not overloaded and that
food has not been packed too tightly into it.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating
correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains
supply and then contact Consumer Services.

YOURSELF.
Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend while
the product is under guarantee and nds that the
problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you
may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.
The appliance must be accessible for the engineer
to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is
installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that
damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen,
then he will not complete a repair.
This includes situations where appliances have been tiled
in, sealed in with sealant or any installation other than
the one specied by has been completed.
• The thermostat setting is too low: you should turn
the thermostat up higher.
• Make sure that the door is closing properly and that
the door has not been opened for a long period in
error.
• Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation for your
appliance.
My freezer is noisy
• The refrigerant gas that circulates the pipework of
the appliance may make a slight noise, even if the
compressor is not running.
• If the noise worsens or the appliance gets louder
than normal check that it is levelled off correctly, that
nothing is touching the rear of the freezer and that
nothing placed inside the appliance is rattling.
Ice has formed on the inner back wall of my freezer
• Check that food has not been pushed too far back
inside the appliance, so that it is in contact with the
inner back wall.
Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on
the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.
