OPERATION

Before using

Remove all securing tapes. Wash inside the appliance with lukewarm water and bicarbonate of soda (5 ml to 0.5 litre of water).

Do not use soap or detergent as the smell may linger. Dry thoroughly.

Control Panel

A - Fast freeze knob

B - Thermostat control knob

C - Pilot light - Green

D - Fast freeze light - Amber

E - Alarm light - Red

Start your appliance

Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (C) will illuminate to show that the appliance is on.

Control Panel

A. Fast freeze knob

When you place fresh food in the appliance, turn the fast freeze knob to “S”.

B. Thermostat control

When you first start the freezer we suggest that you turn the thermostat to a medium setting by using a coin that fits the groove.

1 = lowest setting, minimum cold

6 = highest setting, maximum cold

C. Operation light

The operation light is illuminated continuously, to show that the appliance is on.

D. Fast freeze light

The fast freeze light is illuminated, to show that the fast freeze function is working.

E. Alarm light

If the alarm 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 alarm light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to a safe level for the storage of frozen food.

Temperature control

The temperature within the freezer is controlled by the thermostat situated at the top of the cabinet.

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control beyond the «

■» position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting.

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,

- frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat control towards “6”; to obtain a higher temperature turn the control towards “1”.

Freezing fresh food

In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 22 kg of fresh food.

When you first start the freezer or after a period of non-use, turn the fast freeze knob to «S» 24 hours before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light (D) lights up).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze knob should be activated about 2-3 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 two top compartments of the freezer as these are the coldest parts.

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.

Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the manufacturer.

Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than is absolutely necessary.

Important

Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks etc.), in the freezer compartment.

Ice Iollies, 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 are damp/wet, as this could cause skin abrasions or “frost/freezer burns”.

Important

In the event of a power cut do not open the door. The food in the freezer will not be affected if the power cut is short and if the freezer is full. Should the food begin to thaw, it must be consumed quickly and must not be re-frozen.

Making ice cubes

The appliance is provided with one or more plastic ice cube trays.

Fill the tray(s) 3/4 full to give the ice space to expand and place them in one of the freezer compartment.

To release the ice cubes simply give the tray a slight twist. Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

Thawing

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.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat can even be cooked while still frozen, but you must ensure that it is thoroughly cooked through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling water; ready-cooked dishes can be placed directly in the oven in their aluminium wrapping.

A microwave oven is particularly suitable for thawing any type of frozen or deep-frozen food: follow the oven instructions, particularly regarding the placement of aluminium wrapping or containers in the oven.

Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze switch to the «N» position; the yellow light (D) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other compartments, so that the top compartments can be used for a further freezing operation.

- The food to be frozen must be fresh and of the best quality.

- Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already frozen.

- During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer door remains closed.

Normal Operating Sounds

• You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or 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 sound 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.
