General Safety
■ This appliance contains hydrocarbons in its
cooling unit; maintenance and recharging
must therefore only be carried out by authorised technicians.
■ Take utmost care when handling your appli-
ance so as not to cause any damages to the
cooling unit with consequent possible fluid
leakages.
■ The appliance must not be located close to
radiators or boilers.
■ Avoid prolonged exposure of the appliance to
direct sunlight.
■ Do not use other electrical appliances (such
as ice cream makers) inside of refrigerating
appliances.
During Use
■ This appliance is designed for domestic use only,
specifically for the storage of edible foodstuffs. It
is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
■ Containers with flammable gases or liquids can
leak at low temperatures. Do not store any containers with flammable materials, such as spray
cans, fire extinguisher refill cartridges etc. in the
freezer.
■ Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has
thawed out.
■ Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the
freezer compartment.
■ Ice lollies can cause ‘frost/freezer burns’ if con-
sumed straight from the freezer.
■ Do not remove items from the freezer compart-
ment if your hands are damp/wet, as this could
cause skin abrasions or frost/freezer burns.
■
Placing frozen goods on the top of the appliance
can lead to the accumulation of condensation in
the cavity of the storage tray through contact with
the cold. Electronic components are housed within
this cavity. If condensation should drip onto these
components, the appliance could be damaged by
a short circuit. For this reason do not place frozen
goods on top of the appliance.
■ Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freez-
er as they can burst when the contents freeze.

OPERATION
Freezer controls
Starting your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The appliance
can be activated by turning the thermostat knob
➁
beyond the “-16°C” position. When the pilot light
➀
is illuminated this shows that the appliance is on.
The freezer is switched off by turning knob ➁to
position «●».
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat with 5 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (●) position.
Position «-16°C» = minimum cold
Position «-24°C» = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position (-18°C) is usually the most
suitable, although the temperature will be affected by:
l
Room temperature
l
How often the door is opened
l
How much food is stored
l
Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting
all these factors have to be considered and some
experimentation may be necessary.
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.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stablise before making
further changes.
Freezing fresh food
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 9 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze button ➃- for more than one second - 24 hours before
you want to freeze your fresh food, the yellow light
➂
illuminates. 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 bottom
drawer of the freezer as this is the coldest part.
The maximum amount of food which can be frozen in
24 hours is indicated on the rating plate. This is to be
found on the bottom left-hand side.
You should never freeze all at once a greater
quantity of foods than the maximum indicated on
the appliance’s rating plate.
