BEFORE INSTALLING THE FREEZER

Before connecting your freezer to the power supply, check that the voltage stated on the rating label of your appliance corresponds to the voltage in your home.

Ensure that the plug remains accessible after installation.

The appliance must be grounded. The manufacturer is not responsible for damages that may occur as a result of usage without grounding.

INSTALLATION

Install the appliance in a dry, well-ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e.g. a cooker, radiator, etc.

To ensure adequate ventilation for the appliance, allow a minimum of 10 cm of airspace on each side of the cabinet.

For uneven surfaces, front feet can be aligned.

AMBIENT TEMPERATUE

This appliance is designed to operate in ambient temperature between 16^ C and 38^ C. If these temperatures are exceeded, i.e. colder or warmer, the appliance will not operate correctly. If the ambient temperatures are exceeded for long periods, the temperature in the freezer will rise above -18^ C and food spoilage may occur.

• Remove all packaging.
• Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 - 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate temperature.
• Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

POWER FAILURE

If there is a power failure, do not open the door. Frozen food should not be affected if the power failure lasts for less than 16.5 hours.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The freezer is controlled with a temperature control knob located at the back of the appliance.

Adjust the control knob as desired to suit your individual preference.

MIN is cold setting

NORMAL is colder setting

MAX is coldest setting

The running time and temperature are affected by where the freezer is located, how often the door is opened and the temperature of the room the freezer is located in.

When you use the appliance for the first time or after defrosting, adjust the control knob to the coldest setting for at least 2 hours before introducing food to be stored, and then readjust to the middle setting.

MOVING YOUR APPLIANCE

If the appliance is turned off for any reason, wait for 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

• Turn off the appliance and unplug it from the mains socket. Remove all food.
• Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
  Your appliance uses isobutane (R600a) as a refrigerant. Although R600a is an environmentally friendly and natural gas, it is explosive. Therefore you should be careful during shipment and installation to prevent your appliance's cooler elements from being damaged. In the event of a leak caused by damage to the cooler elements, move your freezer from open flame or heat sources and ventilate the room where the appliance is located for a few minutes.

FREEZING AND STORING FOOD

• To store deep - frozen food.
- To make ice cubes.
- To freeze food.

Note: Ensure that the freezer compartment door has been closed properly.

Purchasing frozen food

• Packaging must not be damaged.
• Use by the 'use by/ best before/ best by/ date.
• If possible, transport deep - frozen food in an insulated bag and place quickly in the freezer.

Storing frozen food

Store at - 18°C or colder. Avoid opening the freezer door unnecessarily.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.

To retain the best possible nutritional value, flavour and colour, vegetables should be blanched before freezing.

Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and asparagus do not require blanching.

Note: Keep food to be frozen away from food which is already frozen.

• The following foods are suitable for freezing:
  Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood, meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit, herbs, eggs without shells, dairy products such as cheese and butter, ready meals and leftovers such as soups, stews, cooked meat and fish, potato dishes, soufflés and desserts.
• The following foods are not suitable for freezing:
  Types of vegetables, which are usually consumed raw, such as lettuce or radishes, eggs in shells, grapes, whole apples, pears and peaches, hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured milk, sour cream, and mayonnaise.

Packing frozen food

To prevent food from losing its flavour or drying out, place food in airtight packaging.

1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents and dates of freezing.

Suitable packaging:

Plastic film, tubular film made of polyethylene, aluminium foil. These products are available from specialist outlets.

Recommended storage times of frozen food in the freezer

These times vary depending on the type of food. The food that you freeze can be preserved from 1 to 12 months (minimum at -18°C).

Food Storage time
Bacon, casseroles, milk	1 month
Bread, ice cream, sausages, pies, prepared shellfish, oily fish	2 months
Non-oily fish, shell fish, pizza, scones and muffins	3 months
Ham, cakes, biscuits, beef and lamb chops, poultry pieces	4 months
Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks, cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)	6 months
Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), whole chicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes	12 months

Never forget:

• When you freeze fresh foods whit a 'use by /best before/best by/' date, you must freeze them before the expiry of this date.
• Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen food that has thawed completely must not be refrozen.
• Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.

MAKING ICE CUBES

Fill the ice cube tray (not supplied) with 3/4 full of drinking water and place in the freezer. If the ice cube tray is stuck to the compartment, loosen with a blunt tool only.

To loosen the ice cubes, twist the ice cube tray slightly or hold briefly under flowing water.

DEFROSTING

The freezer does not defrost automatically, otherwise the frozen food would start thawing.

A layer of frost in the compartment impairs refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power consumption. Remove the layer of hoarfrost regularly.

Do not scrape off hoarfrost or ice with a knife or pointed object. Doing this may damage the refrigerant tubes.

1. Remove the frozen food and place temporarily in a cool location.
2. Set the temperature control knob to the off position (MIN) and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
3. To accelerate the defrosting process, place a pan of hot water on a stand in the freezer.
4. Wipe up condensation with a cloth or sponge.
5. Wipe dry the compartment.
6. Plug in the appliance and adjust the temperature control knob as desired.
7. Put the frozen food back in the freezer.
