THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PROLINE PRODUCT

This booklet contains the information you will require to install and operate your new appliance.

It is important and worthwhile spending time to fully read this booklet so you will understand how to operate the appliance safely and efficiently. Please keep this booklet in a safe place so that you can refer to it when required.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)

For your safety please read the following information.

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

The appliance must be connected to a 240 volts 50 cycle AC supply by means of a three pin socket, suitably earthed and should be protected by a 13 amp fuse in the plug. The appliance is supplied with a standard 13 amp 3- pin plug fitted with a 13-amp fuse.

Should the fuse require replacement, it must be replaced with a fuse rated at 13 amp and approved to BS1362.

If the mains plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home or is removed for any other reason, then the cut off plug should be disposed of safely, do not insert the cut off plug into a mains outlet to prevent the hazard of electric shock. Remove the fuse before disposal.

There is a danger of electric shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13-amp socket outlet.

How to wire a 13 amp plug:

Important

The wires in the mains lead on this appliance are colored in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth Blue – Neutral

Brown – Live

As the colours may not correspond with the markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed as follows. The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or with the earth symbol or colored green and yellow. The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked N. The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked L.

You must make sure the mains cord is firmly secured under the cord clamp.

REFRIGERATOR SAFETY INFORMATION

Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate matches that of your local supply.

Failure to use the correct voltage will render the guarantee VOID and may cause damage to the appliance. The manufacturer accepts NO responsibility for using any other voltage than that marked on the rating plate.

This appliance is intended for domestic use only; any other use may invalidate the warranty and might be dangerous.

This appliance is intended for indoor use only, do not use or store outdoors. This appliance shall not be exposed to rain.

The mains plug shall be the main disconnect device and shall remain operable at all times.

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of a tripping hazard.

To disconnect from the mains completely, turn the appliance OFF, then remove the plug from wall outlet. Do not immerse the appliance, its lead or plug in water or any other liquid.

Remove all food and unplug from the supply when not in use and before cleaning the appliance.

If the mains lead becomes damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person with a specially prepared lead of the same type and rating to avoid a hazard.

Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way.

Do not let cord hang over edge of the surface, or touch hot surfaces.

Do not place the appliance on or near hot surfaces, or in direct sunlight.

Children must be supervised to make sure they do not swing on the door.

Accessible surfaces may get hot when in use, use handles and knobs at all times.

Always attach a plug to the appliance, and then plug it into the wall outlet and switch on.

If you are discarding an old appliance with a lock or catch fitted to the door, ensure that it is left in a disabled condition to avoid the entrapment of young children when playing.

As old refrigeration appliances may contain CFC's which will damage the ozone layer, when disposing of any refrigeration appliance please contact your local waste disposal department for advice on the correct method of disposal.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,

unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play on or near the appliance.

This appliance is for freezing food only.

Refrigerant

The refrigerating gas contained in the circuit of this appliance is Isobutane (R600a); it causes a low level of pollution but is inflammable.

Caution:

Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance.

Warnings:

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use sharp or pointed objects such as knives to remove ice when defrosting.

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process, other than those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer. If the appliance is installed in a carpeted area, do not let the carpet block the ventilation holes in the base of the unit, adjust the levelling feet after a few hours to compensate for carpet movement.

Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or the built in structure clear of obstructions.

Installation

Position the appliance and allow to stand for two to three hours before it is turned on for the first time to allow the system to settle. Do not position next to any heat source e.g. cooker, boiler or in direct sunlight etc.

A clearance of 7cm must be left between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets or walls to allow for adequate air circulation. The appliance is not designed for recessed installation ("building in").

Install on a good firm level surface, and any unevenness of the floor should be corrected prior to installation, slight unevenness can be overcome by adjusting the front feet. Do not keep your appliance in a room where the temperature is likely to fall below 16 degrees C (61 degrees F) at night and/or especially in winter, as it is designed to operate in ambient temperatures between +16 and +32 degrees C (61 and 90 degrees F). At lower temperatures the appliance may not operate, resulting in a reduction in the storage life of the food.

Do not place the appliance near cookers or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance's functions.

If installed next to a source of heat such as a fridge, maintain the following minimum clearances.

Choose a well-ventilated location with no less than 7cm clearance around the refrigerator.

Place the refrigerator in a location with a firm base in order to prevent vibration and excessive noise. Level the refrigerator by adjusting the two front feet.

CAUTION:

DO NOT SITE THIS PRODUCT IN EXCESSIVELY COLD OR HUMID AREAS, SUCH AS OUTBUILDINGS, GARAGES OR CELLARS.

IF THE PRODUCT HAS BEEN STORED OR DELIVERED IN A NON-VERTICAL ORIENTATION, WAIT 4 HOURS BEFORE PLUGGING IN AND SWITCHING ON,

TO GIVE THE REFRIGERANT TIME TO SETTLE. DO NOT STORE FOOD IN THE FREEZER UNTIL IT HAS BEEN RUNNING FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS. Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of

commercially frozen foods and can be used to freeze and store fresh food. If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure last for less than 12 hrs. If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen.

Noises inside the freezer

If you have not owned a freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!

Gurgling, whooshing

These noises are caused by circulation of refrigerant in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your freezer.

Humming, purring or pulsating

This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Shopping for frozen foods

Your Freezer is a 4 star product. When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. This is usually the period stated as 'Best Before', on the front of the packaging.

Check the freezer temperature

Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18°C.

Choose packs carefully

Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.

Whirlpool PLC105A-E INSTRUCTION FOR USE

Purchase frozen food last

Always buy frozen products last on your visit to the supermarket and store them as soon as you get home.

Keep frozen foods together

When you are going around the supermarket and when you are travelling home, if you keep all the frozen foods together they will help to keep each other cold.

Store food straight away

Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops.

These keep frozen food colder for longer.

INSTALLATION

Please refer to the safety instructions at the front of this book.

Unpack the appliance.

Remove the protection pieces inserted between lid and appliance.

Make sure there is at least 36 CM space above the lid to allow room for the lid to open.

For best operation of the appliance and in order to avoid damage when the lid is opened, leave a space of at least 7 cm from the rear wall and 7 cm at the sides.

To provide sufficient ventilation.

1.Thermostat knob

2.Green ON light

3.Red Fast Freeze light

The thermostat control can be used to adjust the internal temperature of the appliance.

Green LED indicates that the appliance is on.

Red LED when on indicates that the fast freeze function has been activated.

Fast freeze position activates/deactivates the fast freeze function.

Switching on the appliance

The appliance is factory set for optimum operation at a temperature of -18°C.

Plug in the appliance.

The green LED lights up.

Also the red LED will switch on because the temperature inside the appliance is not yet sufficiently low for food storage. The red LED will normally switch off within the first six hours after the appliance is switched on.

After connecting the appliance to the mains supply and when the optimal temperature has been reached (this phase takes about 1 hour if the lid is not opened), ensure that the fast freeze button is not selected (the red LED is off).

Temperature Adjustment

Use the thermostat to select the ideal storage temperature. To adjust the internal temperature, proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat knob to 1 for a storage temperature that is less cold.

Turn the thermostat knob to for fast freezing of fresh food.

When the freezer is below 1/3 full it is advisable to move the thermostat to the lower position.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

Unpack the appliance and check for damage, if you find any
