1. Do not place the appliance near cookers

or radiators or in direct sunlight, as this will cause extra strain on the appliance's functions. If installed next to a source of heat or freezer, maintain the following minimum side clearances: From Cookers 30 mm From Radiators 300 mm From Freezers 25 mm

2. Make sure that sufficient room is providedInstruction ManualGB

Temperature control and adjustment Temperature is controlled by the thermostat knob (Fig. 2). "Number 4" is the coldest setting. The normal storage temperature of your appliance should be -18 °C (0 °F). If the thermostat knob is turned counter clockwise from position 1, the appliance will be switched off and “click” sound will be heard. Lower temperatures can be obtained by adjusting the thermostat knob towards Position 4. We recommend checking the temperature with a thermometer to ensure that the storage compartments are kept to the desired temperature. Remember to take the reading immediately since the thermometer temperature will rise very rapidly after you remove it from the freezer. Please remember that each time the door is opened cold air escapes and the internal temperature rises. Therefore never leave the door open and ensure it is closed immediately after food is put in or removed. Before operating Final Check Before you start using the freezer check that:

1. The feet have been adjusted for perfect

2. The interior is dry and air can circulate freely

3. The interior is clean as recommended under

"CLEANING AND CARE."

4. The plug is inserted into the wall socket and

the electricity supply is switched on. Avoid accidental disconnection by taping over the switch. And note that:

5. You will hear a noise as the compressor

starts up. The liquid and gases sealed within the refrigeration system may also make some noise, whether the compressor is running or not. This is quite normal.

6. If you are going to freeze fresh food, you

must press the fast-freeze switch.

7. We recommend setting the thermostat knob

at 2 and monitoring the temperature to ensure the appliance maintains desired storage temperatures (see section "Temperature control and adjustment").

8. Do not load the appliance immediately it is

switched on. Wait until the correct storage temperature has been reached. We recommend that you check the temperature with an accurate thermometer (see; Temperature Control and Adjustment).

9. If you find the freezer door difficult to open

just after you have closed it, don’t worry. This is due to the pressure difference which will equalize and allow the door to open normally after a few minutes.

10. You will hear a vacuum sound just after

closing the door. This is quite normal. around the appliance to ensure free air circulation.

• Put the back airing lid to the back of your refrigerator to set the distance between the refrigerator and the wall.

3. The appliance should be positioned on a

smooth surface. The two front feet can be adjusted as required. To ensure that your appliance is standing upright adjust the two front feet by turning clockwise or counter- clockwise, until firm contact is secured with the floor. Correct adjustment of feet prevents excessive vibration and noise.

4. Refer to "Cleaning and Care" section to

prepare your appliance for use.Instruction ManualGB

Indicator lights There are three coloured indicator lights located inside the appliance which show the operating mode of the freezer (Fig. 2). Amber Indicator (1) Illuminates when the fast-freeze switch (4) is turned on and stays on until the fast freeze operation is deactivated manually. Fast-freeze operation is for freezing fresh food (see Freezing Fresh Food, section). Green Indicator (2) Illuminates when the appliance is connected to the mains and will glow as long as there is electricity present. The green indicator does not give any indication of the temperature inside the freezer. Red Indicator (3) Illuminates a. When the appliance is first switched on, and will stay on until the pre-set temperature has been attained. b. If the appliance is overloaded with fresh food. c. If the appliance door is left open accidentally. Thermostat knob (5) The thermostat knob is located on the indicator light frame. Important: When you press the fast-freeze switch, there may be a short delay before the compressor starts to operate. This is normal and not a compressor fault. Storing frozen food Your freezer is suitable for the long-term storage of commercially frozen foods and also can be used to freeze and store fresh food. Important Note: If there is a power failure do not open the door in order to preserve interior temperature. Frozen food should not be affected if the failure lasts for less than the “conservation time from failure (hours)” declaration mentioned in the Technical Features (Table 1). If the failure is longer, then the food should be checked and either eaten immediately or cooked and then re-frozen. Freezing fresh food Please observe the following instructions to obtain the best results. Do not freeze too much fresh food at the same time. The quality of the food is best preserved when it is frozen quickly. The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hrs. should not exceed the freezing capacity of your appliance. Please avoid loading warm food into your appliance. Fast freeze If large amounts of fresh food is going to be frozen, push the fast freeze switch 30 hrs. before putting the fresh food in the fast freeze compartment. It is strongly recommended to keep fast freeze switch on 24 hrs. to freeze maximum amount of fresh food declared as freezing capacity. Take special care not to mix frozen food and fresh food.Instruction ManualGB

WARNING! Below information about accessories are supplied just for reference. Below accessories may not be exactly same as the accessories of your appliance.

1. We recommend that you switch off the

appliance at the socket outlet and pull out the mains plug before cleaning.

2. Never use any sharp instruments or abrasive

substances, soap, household cleaner, detergent or wax polish for cleaning.

3. Use lukewarm water to clean the cabinet of

the appliance and wipe it dry.

4. Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution

of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda to one pint of water to clean the interior and wipe it dry.

5. Make sure that no water enters the

temperature control box.

6. If the appliance is not going to be used for

a long period of time, switch it off, remove all food, clean it and leave the door ajar.

7. We recommend that you polish the metal

parts of the product (i.e. door exterior, cabinet sides) with a silicone wax (car polish) to protect the high quality paint finish.

8. Any dust that gathers on the condenser,

which is located at the back of the appliance, should be removed once a year with a vacuum cleaner.

9. Check door seals regularly to ensure they

are clean and free from food particles.

• Clean the appliance with unsuitable material; e.g. petroleum based products.

• Subject it to high temperatures in any way,

• Scour, rub etc., with abrasive material.

11. Excess deposit of ice should be removed

regularly with the plastic scraper provided. Large accumulation of ice will impair the performance of the freezer.

12. To remove a drawer, pull it as far as

possible, tilt it upwards and then pull it out completely. Defrosting (Fig. 4, 5, 6) Defrosting is very straightforward and without mess thanks to a special defrost water collection facility at the bottom of the freezer. Defrost twice a year or when a frost layer of around 7 mm (1/4") has formed. To start the defrosting procedure, pull out the mains plug. All food should be wrapped in several layers of newspaper and stored in a cool place (e.g. fridge or larder). Remove all freezer drawers. The special defrost collection basin collects the defrost water. Containers of warm water may be placed carefully in the freezer to speed up the defrosting. Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as knives or forks to remove the frost. Never use hair dryers, electrical heaters or other such electrical appliances for defrosting. When defrosting has finished, put the accessories and food into the appliance, press the fast freeze switch and leave it on at least 24 hrs.Instruction ManualGB
