Switching On Your Unit
- Connect the mains cable to the mains socket. The internal temperature of your unit is controlled by a thermostat. There are three settings MIN, NORMAL, and MAX.
- After the unit has been on for 20 minutes adjust the thermostat control dial to NORMAL. This is the recommended setting when operating at normal room temperature (between 16°C and 38°C).
- The unit may not operate at the correct temperature if it is in a particularly hot or a particularly cold room, or if you open the door often.
- To ensure that the unit is cool enough to sufficiently chill and freeze your food, wait 24 hours before filling it with food.
- If you are concerned that your unit is not being kept cold enough and wish to check the temperature, you will need a special fridge/freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the centre of the unit, where it can be read easily. Leave overnight, the temperature in the unit should be between -18°C or lower.

Thermostat Control Dial

Adjusting the Temperature
The internal temperature of the unit is controlled by a thermostat. MAX position makes the appliance coldest and it is used for fast freezing. The recommended position is between Min and Max but should be adjusted according to its environment.
Fast Freezing
Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting MAX makes your freezer operate continually and get colder (approx. -28°C). It will therefore freeze quicker and retain more of the goodness of your food. Freezing will be complete after 24 hours. Turn the thermostat control dial back to position NORMAL, to allow the freezer to return to its normal temperature (-18°C). Never freeze large quantities of fresh food at one time.
Noises Inside the Unit!
You may notice that your unit makes some unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them!
These noises are caused by the circulation of the refrigerant liquid in the cooling system. It has become more pronounced since the introduction of CFC free gases. This is not a fault and will not affect the performance of your unit. This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.
Preparations for Freezing
- Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities as it freezes faster, takes less time to defrost and enables you to control the quantity you need better.
- Leave cooked food to cool completely. Chill food before freezing if possible.
- Consider how you will want to cook the food before freezing it.
- Don't freeze food in metal containers if you may want to microwave it straight from the freezer.
- Use special freezer bags, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, and aluminium foil (heavy duty grade only). If in doubt, double wrap your food. Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods, e.g. citrus fruits. Don't use thin cling film, glass, or used food containers without cleaning.
- Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
- Leave a small amount of air space when freezing liquids to allow expansion.
- You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, e.g. stew) in square blocks. This is known as "Preforming". Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it, and then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
- Label your frozen foods as they will look the same when in frozen state. Use special freezer tapes, labels and pens with different colours. This allows you to easily organise and to effectively use the freezer. Write the contents and date; otherwise the frozen food might exceed the storage time and this could cause food poisoning. Please refer to your food packaging for the recommended storage time.
- You may also add the weight and cooking notes, e.g. "defrost first", "cook from frozen" and keep a separate log of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily.

-
Take the frozen food out from the unit and uncover the frozen food. Let it defrost at room temperature. Don't forget that defrosting in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria and low temperature cooking may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
-
Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during defrosting.
-
Always make sure there are no ice-crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food has not fully defrosted.
-
Cook food as soon as possible after defrosting.
-
Many microwaves and ovens have a defrost setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Never re-freeze anything that has been defrosted unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful bacteria. Never re-freeze defrosted shellfish. Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or freezer-burn and a build up of frost on any remaining food.
Defrosting
Frost might build up in the unit after it has been used for a period of time. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper (not included).

Do not use a metal or sharp instrument to scrape away the frost, nor should you use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.
We recommend that defrosting should be carried out when the frost layer builds up to 10mm.
Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low, follow these procedures:
- Take out the food, turn the unit off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally, the frozen food should be put into another freezer. If this is not possible, wrap the food in several sheets of newspaper or large towels and then a thick rug or blanket to keep it cool.
- Place a shallow bowl or pan below the unit. Scrape away the frost using a plastic scraper. Defrosting the remaining frost can be speeded up by placing a bowl of hot water inside the unit and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, scrape it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
- When defrosting is complete, clean your unit's interior and exterior.
Cleaning the Interior and the Exterior of the Unit
- Remove all the drawers before cleaning.
- Wipe the inside of the unit with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda and then rinse with warm water using a sponge or cloth. Wipe completely dry before replacing the drawers.
- Use a damp cloth to clean the exterior, and then wipe with a standard furniture polish. Make sure that the door is closed to avoid the polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the unit.
- The grille of the condenser at the back of the unit and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
Care When Handling / Moving the Unit
Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.
Servicing
The unit should be serviced by an authorised engineer and only genuine spare parts should be used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualified technician.
Switching Off for Long Periods of Time
When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains supply, empty all food and clean the unit, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
Condensation
Condensation may appear on the outside of the unit. This may be due to a change in room temperature. Wipe off any moisture residue. If the problem continues, please contact a qualified technician for assistance.
Disposal
Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in the unit and insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options of disposing of your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from your local council office.
When disposing of an old unit break off any old locks or latches and remove the doors as a safeguard.
