OPERATION
Freezer controls
Start your appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light
➄
will light up to show that the appliance is on.
Temperature control
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a
thermostat ➀ with 6 temperature positions and one
«OFF» (O) position.
Position 1 = minimum cold
Position 6 = maximum cold
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.
An intermediate position 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 colder temperature, turn the thermostat
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a warmer
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24
hours for the temperature to stabilise before making
further changes.
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.
Warning light (red)
If the temperature warning light ➃lights up, it
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer
ensured.
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning
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 20 kg of
fresh food.
Activate fast freeze by depressing the fast freeze
switch ➁24 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 appliance's two top
compartments; if freezing only a small amount of
food, use the top compartment. In the first
compartment, products must only be stacked up to
the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air
circulation is not obstructed.
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of
fresh food at anyone time.
Once the food is completely frozen (which could take
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze push button to
the «OFF» position; the yellow light ➂goes off.

Distribute the frozen food packages in the other
compartments, so that the two top compartments can
be used for a further freezing operation. Only freeze
top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs.
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is already
frozen.
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer
door remains closed.
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.
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the
foodstore to your freezer in the shortest possible time
(a temperature increase of the frozen food could
shorten its storage period).
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period
indicated by the producer of the food.
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.
Ice lollies, 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".
If there is a power failure do not open the
door during the whole time of the power
failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the
frozen food will not be affected if the power
cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is
recommended to consume the food within a
very short time.
To accomodate large items (i.e. a turkey) the two
middle drawers may be removed to make use of the
appliances full volume.
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the
drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards
(see figure).
