1. Before You Start
Thank you for buying a Rangemaster appliance. We hope
that it provides a stylish yet practical solution to your cooling
needs. We hope that this handbook supplies you with all the
information you require. If there is anything you are not sure
of please contact us (see Warranty section for the Customer
Service details).
WARNING: This appliance must be earthed.
Please leave the appliance to stand for at least eight
hours. This will allow the cooling system to settle
following transportation.
Always make sure a qualied person installs this
appliance.
The freezer compartment is rated at 4 stars.
This appliance is designed for domestic use only.
Using it for any other purpose could invalidate any
warranty or liability claim.
• Before you plug the appliance into the mains, clean
the inside of the appliance using warm water and
bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly.
• Check that no parts of the appliance are damaged,
especially parts of the cooling system, pipes or leads. If
damage has occurred DO NOT install the appliance. You
should contact a qualified service engineer or return the
appliance to its place of purchase.
• If the accessories inside the appliance have been
disturbed during transit, reposition them in accordance
with the instructions.
• Make sure that the electrical supply to your plug socket
is correct for this appliance: the required information is
on the data badge of the appliance.
• Once the appliance is installed, cleaned and dry, it is
ready to be plugged in and switched on.
• Never allow the back coils of the appliance to come into
contact with the wall surface.
• Never block the ventilation openings of the appliance.
It is vital to keep your appliance well ventilated, so that
there is proper airflow between the bottom of the unit
and the plinth/kickplate which it is sitting on.
Safety
The data badge is located inside the appliance (left-
front edge of the freezer compartment).
WARNING: Keep this appliance clear of any
obstruction.
DO NOT damage the refrigerant circuit. If it does
become damaged, do not use the appliance. In case
of damage, contact Customer Service, ventilate
the room where the appliance is located and avoid
ames.
WARNING: Do not use mechanical devices (such as
hair dryers) to defrost this appliance.
• When replacing old appliances, make sure that you
have disabled any locking mechanisms before disposal:
it may even be best to remove the appliance door
completely to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside the appliance.
• The appliance must be connected to the power supply
safely. Loose connections, broken plugs and bare
wires are a safety hazard. Make sure that all electrical
connections are sound.
• Before undertaking any routine maintenance or minor
repairs, disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply: this includes cleaning.
• DO NOT touch cold surfaces of the appliance while it is
in use as this will cause hands to stick to them leading
to freezer burns.
• When moving the appliance take care not to damage
the leads, pipes or condenser unit. Should these parts
become damaged, contact a qualified service engineer.
• Effervescent liquids (fizzy drinks) should never be
frozen. These liquids expand during freezing and
this may lead to the bottles/containers shattering or
exploding.
• Foods that are intended to be defrosted or cooked first,
such as breads or meats, must not be eaten in their
frozen state.
• Never use sharp, metal implements to scrape ice off the
surface of this appliance. Only use implements, which
are fit for this purpose (such as plastic scrapers) and use
carefully to avoid damaging the lining of the appliance.
• The cooling system contains refrigerant and oils, all of
which are harmful to health if leaked. Should leakage
occur, disconnect the appliance and ventilate the room
it is installed in. Take care to make sure that you do not
get any coolant near to, or in, your eyes.
Contact a service engineer or arrange to have the
appliance removed.
DO NOT use the appliance under any circumstances.
Electrical safety
• Connections to the mains supply should be in
accordance with local regulations.
• The appliance must be plugged into an earthed socket.

Damaged electrical cable
If the electrical cable is damaged or worn, turn o the
appliance and consult an authorised agent for replacement.
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.

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.

Freezer Controls
The freezer control panel is at the top of the freezer (Fig.2-2).
A. Fast freeze switch.
B. Fast freeze light (Orange): this will light up when the fast
freeze switch has been activated.
C. Temperature rise warning light (Red): this will light up
when the appliance detects a rise in temperature that
could a ect the contents of your freezer.
D. Power light (Green): this will light up as soon as the
appliance is connected to the mains supply.
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.
