Appliances provided with exterior luminous thermometer
1. Fast freeze switch
2. Temperature selector knob (thermostat). It can be adjusted
by means of a coin
3. Yellow fast freeze pilot lamp: it lights up and switches off
pressing switch 1
4. Luminous external thermometer: it allows you to check the
temperature of the foods stored.
In normal ambient conditions, the first three green pilot lamps
at the left are alight. These lamps correspond to a temperature
of -18°C. When you open the door for a long time, the third
and the second green lights may switch off. This can also happen when you introduce fresh foods to be frozen into the appliance.
This does not mean that the frozen foods are in danger, it is simply due to the heat of the fresh foods which are being frozen.
5. Red alarm pilot lamp indicating critical temperatures inside
the freezer. It flashes when:
- the freezer is first connected to the electricity supply
- the freezer is loaded with fresh foods
- the temperature inside the appliance is too warm
- the freezer door is left open for a long time
It goes off when:
- the internal temperature is correct.

Installation
Ensure that the appliance is not damaged.
Transit damages must be reported to your dealer within 24 h
of receipt of the appliance.
The appliance should not be installed close to heat sources,
central heating, cookers, boilers, sunlight, etc. It must however be located in a well ventilated dry space. If the appliance is
installed under a kitchen furniture, leave a 50 mm air gap
(Fig. 2). Ensure that the appliance is level; adjust, if required,
the front feet (Fig. 3).
To ensure the free air circulation, the ventilation grid situated
above the appliance must not be obstructed (Fig. 4).
Clean the interior with a sponge dampened in a solution of
warm water and vinegar.
Position the cold packs on the first top grid.
Electrical connection and operation
Check that the voltage on the rating plate (Fig. 5) corresponds
to the voltage in your home (Fig. 6). The earthing of this appliance is compulsory by law.
The manufacturer will accept no liability for injury to persons
or damage to objects arising from the non-observance of this
requirement.
If the plug and the wall socket do not comply, have the socket
replaced by a qualified electrician. He should also check that
the section of the socket wires can withstand the power absorbed by the appliance.
The use of adapters, multiple sockets and extension cords is
not advisable.
If absolutely necessary, use simple or multiple adapters and extension cords in compliance with local safety regulations,
paying attention not to exceed the maximum amperage, which
is marked on the simple adaptors and on extension cords and
that of the total power marked on the multiple adapters.
Electrical information
WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
Fuse replacement
If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13
amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an
A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:
English
6
GB
1. Remove the fuse cover (A) and fuse (B)
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover
3. Refit both into plug.
IMPORTANT: The fuse cover must be refitted when chang-
ing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be
used until a correct replacement is fitted. Correct replacements are identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug.
Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical
store.
Connection to a rewireable plug
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it
should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible
shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket else-where. A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the cable.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
BLUE "NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN "LIVE" ("L")
GREEN AND YELLOW "EARTH" ("E)
1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or by the
Earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
2. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.
3. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which
is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.
For the Republic of Ireland only
The information given in respect of Great Britain will frequently
apply, but a third type of plug and socket is also used, the 2pin, side earth type. In this case, the wire which is coloured
GREEN AND YELLOW must be connected to the EARTH contact, and the other two wires to the pins, irrespective of colour. The supply to the socket must be fitted with a 16 amp
fuse.
Connect the appliance to the mains and adjust the thermostat
control knob or (Fig. 1) as indicated in chapter "Temperature Adjustment". If your appliance is provided with the exterior thermometer , the normal operation is indicated by
the switching on of one or more green pilot lamps; dependent on the tempeature inside the freezer.
When the appliance is first connected to the mains, the red
light only will flash. It will switch off when the green pilot
lamps of the thermometer light up, indicating that the appliance is ready to be loaded with foods to be stored.
If your appliance is not provided with an exterior thermometer, the normal operation is indicated by the green light .
When the freezer is first connected to the mains, the green pilot lamp and the red pilot lamp will be illuminated.
When the red pilot lamp switches off, the appliance can be
loaded with foods to be stored.
Temperature adjustment
The thermostat (see figure) controls the internal temperature.
Position “●“ means that the operation is interrupted. The ideal
temperature for the long term storage of frozen foods is -18°C.
In normal ambient conditions (ambient temperature included
between +20°C and +25°C), we suggest you adjust the thermostat control knob to position 2. If you require a warmer or
colder temperature than -18°C, turn the thermostat control
knob towards the higher positions or towards position “●“.
Note: Please remind that internal temperatures are affected
by the location of the appliance, the temperature of the surrounding air, the frequency of door opening. The setting of
the thermostat control knob may have to be varied to allow
for these factors.
Experience will help you in finding the position best suited to
your requirements.
Use of the freezer (Fig .7)
Freezing-in
The maximum quantity, in Kg, of foods which can be frozen in
24 hours, at an ambient temperature of 25°C, is stated on the
rating plate (Fig. 5).
If you need to freeze the maximum quantity suggested, we recommend you switch on the fast freeze facility or (yel-
low pilot lamp or alight), 24 prior to introducing foods
to be frozen and to let on for the next 24 hours. The freezing
compartment is situated at the top of the appliance.
At completion of freezing, disconnect the fast freeze switch
(yellow pilot lamp off).
The freezing times are reduced for smaller loads.
If you need to freeze very small quantities of food, it is not necessary to switch on the fast freeze facility.
Do not store warm foods in the freezer; do not re-freeze partially or totally thawed foods.
Wrap foods in aluminium or polythene sheets or place them in
appropriate containers. Label each pack indicating the contents and the freezing date.
The freezer can maintain the correct storage temperature for
16-18 hours even after a power failure.
Some appliances are provided with cold packs (eutectics) which
have to be positioned on the top grid.
They can increase the storage time in case of power failure to
25-28 hours. However, during this time, we suggest you
do not open the freezer door.
Note: Due to the efficacity of the door seal, it is not always
possible to open the freezer door immediately after closing it.
Wait some minutes before trying to open it.
Production of ice cubes
Fill the trays 3/4 of their depth and place them in the top compartment. If the trays stick to the bottom, do not try to detach
them with sharp or cutting instruments. Use the handle of a
spoon.
Attention: Do not store sealed containers or carbonated
drinks into the freezer as they may explode. Only use plastic
containers. Some products, such as ice lollies, should not be
consumed straight from the freezer. They could cause "cold"
burns.
