Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light
(D-Fig. 11) will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the
thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet
(A-Fig. 11).
To operate the freezer proceed as follows:
Turn the thermostat control beyond the « O » position.
When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you
turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, between 2 and 4. 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. However, if the appliance is working in unfavourable room conditions such as poor ventilation, high
temperature and frequent door openings, it may be
necessary to select a more suitable setting.
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light (E) lights up, it indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where the safe food storage is no
longer ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning light
will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a
safe level for the storage of frozen food.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 13 kg of
fresh food.
When you first start the freezer or after a period of
non-use, slide the fast-freeze switch (B-Fig. 11) to the
left (fast freeze position) 2-3 hours before you want to
freeze your food (the yellow light (C) lights up).
If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze
switch should be activated about 24 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 top
compartment of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the
«OFF» position; the yellow light (C) goes off.
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartment can be used
for a further freezing operation.
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already
frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
10
Page 11
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 two hours in the «fast
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you ensure any commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the
retailer.
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the manufacturer of the food.
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than is absolutely necessary.
Warning
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the
freezer compartment.
Water ices, 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 ar e
damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or
“frost/freezer burns”.
If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen
food, do not open the door during the whole time of
the power failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the frozen food will not be affected if the power cut is of
short duration; otherwise, it is recommended to consume the food within a very short time (see page 13).
Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature depending on the time available. Small food items may
even be cooked from frozen; in this case cooking will
take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and
then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Ice making
Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube
compartment, and place it in the freezer compartment. To release the ice cubes, twist the tray along its
length.
Never use a sharp instrument to remove ice tray.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have
been removed from many pre-prepared food. This
together with the changes in shopping habits to a
once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and
storage of food is even more important than ever.
The following tips should help you to ensure that
the food in your home is in as perfect condition as
possible.
ª
Keep the time between buying chilled food and
placing it in your freezer as short as possible. Tests
showed that the temperature of 1 litre of orange
juice rose to 22 ° C in an hour between the supermarket and home. It then took 11 hours to get
down to 7 ° C in the refrigerator.
ª
Keep the freezer door closed as much as possible.
Remember that warm air is flowing in as you are deciding what to have for tea!
ª
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air
circulate around each item.
ª
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do
NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food in a
place as cool as possible in order that it can then
be placed in the freezer as soon as possible).
ª
The best way to defrost food is to put it in the refrigerator to thaw slowly.
ª
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and
labelled and used in date order to ensure that food
is consumed at its best.
ª
It is important that food is used before its “best before” date.
ª Always wash your hands with soapy water and dry
them with a clean towel before handling food.
ª Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross contam-
ination by not using the same work surface or knife,
without washing them thoroughly in between.
ª Use kitchen roll wherever possible for cleaning up
food. If you use a dishcloth, be sure to boil it frequently.
ª
Do not store food uncovered.
12
Page 13
Defrosting
The freezer compartment will become progressively
covered with frost. This should be removed with the
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4”.
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs. However, when the ice becomes very thick on the inner liner,
complete defrosting should be carried out and it is advisable to perform this operation when the appliance
is empty.
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:
Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers of
newspaper and put it in a cool place.
Turn the thermostat control (A-Fig. 11) to the «O» setting.
Leave the door open.
To accelerate the defrosting process, place a bowl of
hot water inside the freezer (with a piece of cardboard
underneath as a protection). The defrost water should
be collected in a basin placed under the gutter in the
central part between base and door. A small flexible
hose (supplied with the freezer and fixed inside the
plastic scraper handle), to be used as a gutter extension, will make it easier to collect the defrost water.
Fig. 12
Warning
«In the event of a power failure causing the tem-
perature within your freezer to rise, do not re-freeze the food without checking its condition. The
following guidelines should assist you.»
Ice-cream: once thawed should be discarded.
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be cooked and
used up.
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without danger.
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used up quickly.
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be refrigerated
and used up.
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen providing
there are still ice crystals remaining within them.
Small Joints: should be cooked and can then be refrozen as cooked dishes.
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-frozen as a
cooked dish.
D368
When defrosting is completed, dry the interior thoroughly.
Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting between 2 and 4 and, after letting the appliance run for
at least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace
the previously removed food into the compartment.
Important
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs, during
defrosting, may shorten their safe storage life.
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off frost from
the evaporator as this could damage the appliance
beyond repair.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and
bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5 litre of water). Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
NEVER USE DETERGENTS, ABRASIVE POWDERS,
HIGHLY PERFUMED CLEANING PRODUCTS OR
WAX POLISHES, TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR AS
THESE WILL DAMAGE THE SURFACE AND LEAVE A
STRONG SMELL.
When the appliance is not in use
When the appliance is not in use for long periods, disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all foods
and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.

WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG?
Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service
Force Centre, check the following points:
The appliance does not work...
Check that:
ª There is power at the socket.
ª Ensure that there is not a power cut by checking
the household lights.
ª The fuse has not blown.
ª The air circulation passages are not covered.
Vibration or abnormal noises...
ª You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds
when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils of
tubing at the rear, to the cooling plate⁄evaporator or
to the fixed freezer shelves. When the compressor
is on, the refrigerant is being pumped round, and
you will hear a whirring or pulsating noise from the
compressor.
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will
hear a faint “click” when the thermostat cuts in and
out.
If, after the above checks, there is still a fault, call your
local Tricity Bendix Service Force Centre, whose address can be found in the accompanying Customer
Care Booklet, and can also be found in your local telephone directory under «Z».
In-guarantee customers should ensure that the
above checks have been made as the engineer will
make a charge if the fault is not a mechanical or
electrical breakdown.
Please note that proof of purchase is required for
any in-guarantee service calls.
Before contacting your local Tricity Bendix Service
Force Centre, make a note of the make, model and
date of purchase of your machine: the Service Department require this information.
Other points to check...
Check that:
ª Have you turned the thermostat to the correct set-
ting?
ª Has the door been left open causing the tempera-
ture to rise?
ª Sometimes the freezer door will be difficult to open
shortly after you have closed it. Don’t worry this is
due to pressure difference which will quickly equalise and allow the door to open normally.
