Door reversal

1. Disconnect from the electricity supply.

2. Remove all loose items, including food, store food in a cool place.

3. Gently lay the fridge/freezer on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing;

4. Remove the feet (3)

5. Remove bottom hinge (1).

6. Slide out the door from pin (G), unscrew the latter and then screw it down into the hinge hole provided on the opposite side, after having removed the small plugs which should then be fitted on the opposite side.

7. Refit the door and bottom hinge (1) on the opposite side.

8. Refit the feet (3) on the opposite side.

9. Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side after having pierced the plugs with a punch. Cover the holes left open with the plugs contained in the documentation pack.

Important

After completion of the door reversing operation, check that the door gasket adheres to the cabinet. If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.

INSTALLATION

Positioning

This appliance should only be installed at a location where the ambient temperature corresponds to the climate classification indicated on the rating plate, which is located at the left on the inside of the appliance.

The following table shows which ambient temperature is correct for each climate classification:

SN +10°C to + 32°C

N +16°C to + 32°C

ST +18°C to + 38°C

T +18°C to + 43°C

It should be located in a dry atmosphere, out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperature e.g. not next to a boiler or radiator, or in a very cold room e.g. an outhouse, where the temperatures may fall below 10°C (50°F). If these temperatures are exceeded i.e. colder or warmer, then the appliance may not operate correctly.

You should also ensure that air can circulate freely around the back and the top of the cabinet. There must also be at least 100 mm (4”) distance between the top of the cabinet and any overhanging kitchen furniture (A). Ideally, the appliance should not be positioned beneath overhanging furniture (B).

There should also be a gap of 25 mm either side of the appliance. Do not obstruct the space underneath. The back of the cabinet may be placed close to the wall but must not touch it. DO NOT install in places with restricted ventilation.

Adjust the level of the appliance by screwing out the adjustable foot, or feet, at the bottom of the cabinet using your fingers (see figure).

Important

IF YOU ARE DISCARDING AN OLD APPLIANCE THAT HAS A LOCK OR CATCH ON THE DOOR, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT IT IS MADE UNUSABLE TO PREVENT YOUNG CHILDREN BEING TRAPPED INSIDE.

Rear spacers

The plastic bag containing all relevant documentation also contains two spacers to be fitted into special holes in the back of the appliance. Fit the spacers into the holes, taking care to ensure that the arrow (A) is positioned as shown in Fig. Then turn them through 45° (arrow (A) vertical) until they lock into place.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be easily accessible after installation.

Depending upon the position which you choose for your appliance, you may wish to reverse the way in which the door opens. To do this, refer to instructions under “Door reversal”.

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.

Temperature control

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

To operate the freezer proceed as follows:

Turn the thermostat control knob beyond the «O» position.

When you first start the freezer, we suggest that you turn the thermostat control to a medium setting, between 3 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,

- frequent door openings,

it may be necessary to select a more suitable setting.

To obtain a colder temperature, turn the thermostat control to the higher number; to obtain a warmer temperature turn the control to the lower number.

Control Panel

A. Fast freeze control knob

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

B. Thermostat control knob

Turn the thermostat control clockwise to required setting, which is normally between 3-4.

C. Pilot 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) illuminates, 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.

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) illuminates).

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 “B” compartments of the freezer (see the diagram) as these are the coldest parts.
