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 wor ing 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 larger ●; to obtain a warmer

temperature turn the control to the smaller ●.

Control Panel

A. Alarm light

If the alarm light (A) illuminates, it indicates that the

When you first start the freezer or after a period of

non-use, press the fast freeze switch 12 hours

before you want to freeze your food (the yellow light

(B) illuminates).

If the freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze

nob 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

compartments of the freezer (see the diagram) as

these are the coldest parts.

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 bac 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 itchen

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 bac 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 or a tool (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.

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”.

Important

It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from

the mains power supply; the plug must therefore be

easily accessible after installation.

Rear spacers

In the bag with the documentation, there are two

spacers which must be fitted as shown in the figure.

Slac en the screws and insert the spacer under the

screw head, then re-tighten the screws.

In order to freeze the quantity indicated on the rating

plate, arrange the food directly in contact with the

cooling surfaces. If the food is frozen in the bas ets,

the maximum quantity that can be frozen is slightly

less.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could ta e

up to 24 hours) press again the fast freeze switch;

the yellow light (B) goes off.

Distribute the frozen food pac ages 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.

Frozen ood 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,

you should:

If large quantities of food are to be stored, remove all

drawers and bas ets from appliance (except for the

last one at the bottom) and place food on the cooling

shelves.

Pay careful attention not to exceed load limit stated

on the side of the upper section (where

applicable).

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 drin s etc.), in

the freezer compartment.

Ice Iollies, if consumed immediately after removal

from the freezer, can possibly result in a low

temperature s in burn.

Do not remove items from the freezer if your hands

are damp/wet, as this could cause s in 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 quic ly 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 coo ed

from frozen; in this case coo ing will ta e 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 uncoo ed and has

not been completely defrosted it can be coo ed and

then refrozen.

Meat, fish and fruit should be thawed in the

refrigerator compartment and small pieces of meat

can even be coo ed while still frozen, but you must

ensure that it is thoroughly coo ed through.

Vegetables should be directly immersed in boiling

water; ready-coo ed 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.

De rosted cooked ood must never be re rozen.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.

• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is

advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen

food in the freezer immediately.

• Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

• Do not store food uncovered.

• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure

that food is consumed at its best.

• Lean food eeps better and longer than fatty food,

salt reduces the storage time.

• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing

bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and

provide an airtight seal .

• Pac aging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pac could indicate

that the product has not been ept at a suitable

temperature and that it may have lost its original

quality. Partially thawed food must not be

refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage times indicated by the

manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated

room and ma e sure that the air openings of the

appliance are not obstructed.

• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

pac ing all foodstuffs into airtight pac ages

before placing them in the freezer.

• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to

the freezer.

• Try to avoid eeping the door open for long

periods or opening the door too frequently as

warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the

compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

In the Event o a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen

foods, eep the door closed. If the temperature within

your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food

without chec ing its condition. The following

guidelines should assist you:

Ice-cream: Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be coo ed and

used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.

Shell ish: Should be refrigerated and used up

quic ly.

Cooked Dishes: i. e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces o Meat: Can be refrozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be coo ed and can then be

refrozen as coo ed dishes.

Chicken: Should also be coo ed and refrozen as a

fresh dish.

Food Storage

To obtain the best performance from your freezer

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids.

• Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it

straight away. The use of an insulated container is

advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen

food in the freezer immediately.

• Do not push food together too much, try to allow

air to circulate around each item.

• Do not store food uncovered.

• Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated

and labelled and used in date order to ensure

that food is consumed at its best.

• Lean food eeps better and longer than fatty food,

salt reduces the storage time.

• Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing

bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and

provide an airtight seal .

• Pac aging which is swollen or has traces of

refrozen water droplets on the pac could indicate

that the product has not been ept at a suitable

temperature and that it may have lost its original

quality. Partially thawed food must not be

refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.

Never exceed the storage times indicated by the

manufacturer.

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance close to sources of

heat, such as a boiler or radiator.

• Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated

room and ma e sure that the air openings of the

appliance are not obstructed.

• Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by

pac ing all foodstuffs into airtight pac ages

before placing them in the freezer.

• Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be

placed in the fridge before being transferred to

the freezer.

• Try to avoid eeping the door open for long

periods or opening the door too frequently as

warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the

compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

• Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the

door from closing properly.

In the Event o a Power Failure

If there is a power failure during the storage of frozen

foods, eep the door closed. If the temperature within

your freezer should rise, do not refreeze the food

without chec ing its condition. The following

guidelines should assist you:

Ice-cream: Once thawed should be discarded.

Fruits & Vegetables: If soft should be coo ed and

used up.

Breads & Cakes: Can be refrozen without danger.

Shell ish: Should be refrigerated and used up

quic ly.

Cooked Dishes: i. e. casseroles should be

refrigerated and used up.

Large Pieces o Meat: Can be refrozen providing

there are still ice crystals remaining within them.

Small Joints: Should be coo ed and can then be

refrozen as coo ed dishes.

Chicken: Should also be coo ed and refrozen as a

fresh dish.
