Fuse replacement

If the mains lead of this appliance is fitted with a BS 1363A 13 amp fused plug, to change a fuse in this type of plug use an A.S.T.A. approved fuse to BS 1362 type and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit replacement 13A fuse into fuse cover.
3. Refit both into plug.

Important: The fuse cover must be refitted when changing a fuse and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a correct replacement is fitted.

Correct replacement is identified by the colour insert or the colour embossed in words on the base of the plug. Replacement fuse covers are available from your local electrical store.

Connection to a rewireable plug

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, then it should be cut off and disposed of in order to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere. A suitable alternative plug should then be fitted to the cable. The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code; BLUE - neutral ("N")

BROWN - live ("L")

GREEN AND YELLOW - earth ("E")

1. The GREEN AND YELLOW wire must be connected

to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter "E" or by the Earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured BROWN or RED which is connected to the fuse.

Installation

To ensure that the appliance operates properly and to reduce energy consumption, it is important that the appliance is installed correctly.

Ventilation

The compressor and condenser generate heat and, therefore, need to be ventilated properly. Rooms with no ventilation are not suited for installation of the appliance. Therefore, it should be installed in a room with an opening (window or French window) that provide the appropriate amount of air re-circulation. It is also important to install it in a free humidity room.

During installation, make sure not to cover or obstruct the grates that allow for proper ventilation of the appliance. For proper ventilation of the appliance, leave a space of at least 10cm between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent cabinets/walls.

Away from Heat

Avoid positioning the appliance in a place where it is directly exposed to sunlight or near an oven, cook top or the like.

Electrical and Earth Connection

The appliance should not be turned on right after transportation. Two hours is the advised time so that the oil from the motor-compressor gets back to its original position. Before proceeding with the electrical connection, make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate, corresponds to the mains voltage in your home and that the socket is fitted with a standard earth wire in accordance with safety standards. If the socket is not fitted with an earth wire, the manufacturer will not be held liability for any damages and or injuries arising out of the use of the appliance. Do not use multiple sockets or adapters. Position the appliance in such a way that you can access the socket where it is plugged in.

Electrical power

The electrical socket must be able to handle the maximum power load of the appliance, which is indicated on the rating plate located in the back of the appliance.

The Appliance

Setting Up the Appliance

Once the appliance has been connected to the power source, the green C and red B lights will turn on. Turn the temperature adjustment knob A to the fast freeze position E (Super setting) (the yellow D light will turn on).

When the red B light turns off, change the setting by turning the temperature adjustment knob A, from the fast freezing position E to the desired freezing temperature. At this point

the freezer can be used.

NOTICE

Use average temperature settings to ensure optimum performance and to save energy.

Some models may not have all the functions described.

Efficient Usage of the Appliance

Tips on Freezing

Remember that you should never refreeze products you have allowed to thaw, even if only partially. Once thawed, cook the food, then either eat (within 24 hours) or refreeze it.

Tips on Packaging

For the best storage and thawing, remember to freeze small portions. This will ensure rapid and uniform freezing.

Mark package with a description of the contents and the date it was frozen. Never freeze more food than that allowed by the maximum freezing capacity indicated on the data plate which is located on the back of the freezer.

To freeze food, make sure that the red light is off. Then place the food to be frozen into the freezer, making sure that it is placed, to the furthest extent possible, in direct contact with the side walls of the deepest part of the freezer and not in contact with food that has already been frozen. Proper storage depends on the speed at which the food is frozen. For this reason, we recommend that the switch should be turned to the "Super" E (if possible) setting 24 hours before the food to be frozen is placed inside the freezer.

Avoid opening the freezer door during the freezing process.

Placing substantial amounts of fresh food in the appliance may temporarily raise the temperature within the freezer (the red light may turn on). Since this is a temporary situation, it will not compromise the storage of the food that has already been frozen.

Attention: Do not forget to change the temperature setting if you want to avoid useless wastes of energy.

In the case of power failure or breakdown, do not open the freezer door. This will help maintain the temperature inside the freezer, ensuring that the goods are conserved for at least 20 hours.

Do not place full bottles in the freezer because liquids increase in volume when they freeze and this could cause the bottles to burst.

Tips on storage

For best storage of fresh-frozen and frozen foods, do not set the thermostat knob below Min, regardless of the ambient temperature of the room where the freezer is installed. For ambient temperatures of up to 25^ - 27^ ,the thermostat knob should be set between 1 and 2, while for temperatures up to 32^ the setting should be between 2 and 3.

Follow the instructions on the packages of frozen foods scrupulously.

If none are provided, do not store the food for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they have been stored at the proper temperature and that the package is properly sealed. When purchasing frozen foods, it is best to transport them in appropriate containers to keep them cold and then place them in the freezer immediately.

If the package is damp on the outside or is abnormally swollen, it is likely that the package was stored at an inadequate temperature and the food has deteriorated.

Energy Saving

Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well-ventilated room.

Correct Temperature Settings

Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy, but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food.

Shut the Doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary - every

time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. In order to restore the correct temperature, the motor will have to run and consume energy.

Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

Avoid Frost Build-up

Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost. When the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See, "Caring for Your Appliance").

Maintaining the Appliance

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit.

It is a good idea to remove the frost build up from the inside of the appliance from time to time.

Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing irreparable damage to the appliance. Use a not-pointed tool in plastic material.

To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the power supply and leave the door open until all the frost has melted.

The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the water from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a container in the

position indicated in figures 1 or 2. To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water can be placed inside the appliance.

While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the food taken from the freezer in several layers of paper and place it in a cool place. Since the temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to consume it quickly as its storage life will have been shortened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and bicarbonate solution to clean the appliance.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry carefully.

Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appliance, following the instructions in Setting Up Your Appliance.

Changing the inside lamp bulb

To change the bulb inside the appliances that are equipped with internal lighting, remove the bulb cover situated on the inside wall of the door by pushing the ends of the cover (Fig. 3 / Fig. 4). Replace the old bulb with a new one of no higher than 15 W.

When not in use

Should the unit not be used for a long period of time (for example during the summer holidays), disconnect the plug from the mains and leave the door open to avoid the formation of mould and unpleasant odours after completing the defrosting and cleaning operations.

Troubleshooting

The green light is off

Check if:

• There is power to the unit;
• The main power switch to the house is on.

The red alarm light is always on

Check it:

• The door is closed properly and the seal is still OK;
  The door is being opened too often;
  The temperature knob is on the right setting;
  There is too much frost build-up.

The motor runs constantly

Check it:

• The door is closed properly and the seal is still OK;
  The door is being opened too often;
• In the internal surfaces there is too much ice;
  The thermostat is on the right setting;
• The outside temperature is too high.

The appliance makes too much noise

Check it:

The freezer is levelled;
- The appliance has been installed between cabinets that vibrate and make noise;
- It is the noise made by the refrigerant, which occurs even when the compressor is off (this is not a defect).

If after the checks the appliance still does not operate or the problem persists, call the nearest Service Centre, communicating: type of malfunction, appliance model and Serial Number (SN). This information can be found on the data plate located inside the appliance.

Never call on unauthorized technicians and always refuse spare parts which are not originals.
