Introduction your new freezer

Before use

Please read these instructions carefully before using your new Logik freezer. The freezer is for indoor, domestic use only.

Installing

Location

When selecting a position for your Appliance you should make sure the floor is flat and firm, and the room is well ventilated with an average room temperature of between 10°C and 38°C. Locate the appliance away from direct sunlight and source of heat (stove, heater, radiator, etc.). Direct sunlight may affect the acrylic coating and heat sources may increase electrical consumption. Extreme cold ambient temperatures may also cause the appliance not to perform properly. This unit is not designed for use in a garage or any other outside installation. Avoid locating the appliance in moist areas. It must therefore be installed so that the Appliance has at least 10cm (2.5") if free space and the sides have 2cm (3/4"). The Appliance door can either open to the right or the left, depending on whichever suits you. See page 4 if you want to reverse the door swing. Do not drape your Appliance with any covering.

Moving the appliance

Position your appliance in front of its final operating position and gentle slide the appliance into position. A minimum of two persons must be used to move the appliance.

Leveling the Freezer

Remove the packaging support form the base of the appliance and replace with the 2 leveling feet. Make sure the appliance is level. Use the leveling feet at the front. If the appliance is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected.

Cleaning before use

Wipe the inside of the appliance with a weak solution of bicarbonate soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth. Wash the baskets and shelves in warm soapy water and dry completely before replacing in the freezer. The external parts of the freezer can be cleaned with wax polish. If you require more information refer to cleaning on page 8.

Before plugging in YOU MUST

Check that you have a socket which is compatible with the plug supplied with the appliance. If not, please consult a qualified technician for assistance.

Before switching on!

The freezer must be allowed to stand still with the door open for at least 12 hours. DO NOT SWITCH ON UNTIL TWO HOURS AFTER MOVING THE REFRIGERATOR. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Reverse the door swing

• Ensure the appliance is unplugged and empty.
• Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position.
• We recommend you have someone to assist you.

Tools required

• Phillips style screwdriver
• Flat bladed screwdriver
• Hexagonal Spanner

Note: Take the door off it is necessary to tilt the freezer backward. You should rest the freezer on something solid and place something under the rollers so that it will not slip during the door change process.

DO NOT lay the freezer completely flat as this may damage the coolant system.

Getting Started

Switching on your new freezer

1 Before connecting the freezer to the mains supply make sure that the thermostat control dial is set at position in the MIN, of which MIN is Off.
2 Turn the thermostat knob clockwise to set it to the desired position. Please note that the coldest temperature is SUPER
3 To ensure the Freezer is cool enough to sufficiently freeze your food wait 24 hours before filling with food.

Adjusting the temperature

The internal temperature of your appliance is controlled by a thermostat. SUPER position makes the appliance coldest and it is used for fast freezing (see Fast Freezing section below). The recommended position is between Min and Max but should be adjusted according to its environment. The appliance may not operate correctly if it is in a particularly hot or cold room or if the door is opened often or for prolonged periods.

THERMOSTAT CONTROL DIAL

Fast Freezing

Fresh food should be frozen as quickly as possible. Setting SUPER 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.

Is the freezer cold enough?

If you are at all concerned that your freezer is not being kept cold enough, or you occasionally wish to check the temperature, you can purchase a Fridge/ Freezer thermometer. These are available from most supermarkets and hardware shops. Place the thermometer in the freezer where it can be easily read. Leave overnight, the correct temperature should be between -18°C or lower. See 'Adjusting the temperature' section.

Noise inside the freezer

If you have not owned a fridge or freezer before, you may notice that it makes some rather unusual noises. Most of these are perfectly normal, but you should be aware of them.

Gurgling, whooshing

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 freezer.

Humming, purring or pulsating

This is the compressor motor working, as it pumps the refrigerant around the system.

Shopping for frozen foods

Your freezer is 4 star

When you are buying frozen food, look at the storage guidelines on the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4 star rating. This is usually the period stated as 'Best before', on the front of the packaging. The maximum freezing capacity of this appliances is 8kg in 24 hours. Please do not place fresh food into the freezer compartment exceeding this weight.

Check the freezer temperature

Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18°C.

Choose packs carefully

Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.

Purchase frozen food last

Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to maintain the coldness of the food.

Store food straight away

Don't buy frozen good unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.

In Use

Tips for keeping food perfect in the freezer

Shut the door

To prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door. When returning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your freezer while the door is closed and only open it to put food in or take food out.

Freezing Fresh Food

Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.

What not to freeze

Fruit, fresh vegetables, bottled liquids, carbonated liquids to be checked.

NOTE: DO NOT STORE INFLAMMALBE GASES OR LIQUIDS.

Preparations for freezing

• Leave cooked food to cool completely.
• Chill food in a fridge 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 available from supermarkets, freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminium foil (heavy grade only, if in doubt, double wrap). Don't use aluminium foil for acidic foods (such as citrus fruits). Don't use thin cling film or glass. Don't use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
• 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 for expansion.
• You can use the space in the freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids (or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as 'preforming'.
  Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container.
  Freezer it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.

Label everything

Many foods look the same when frozen, so careful labeling will help avoid forgetting what an item is. Storage times being exceeded could cause food poisoning.

You can buy special freezer tape for use in low temperatures. This tape is available in white, why not use it to write the items contents on. You can buy special freezer labels and pens. Labels come in different colors, which can help you use your freezer effectively. For instance you could colour code meat as red and vegetables as green. Using a different colour label for each quarter of the year will help you rotate your frozen food more efficiently.

Write the contents and date. If you are really organized add the weight and notes on cooking such as 'thaw first', or 'cook from frozen' and keep a separate 'log-lock' of what is in each drawer. This will save opening the door and searching around unnecessarily, ensuring the freezer stays cold enough.

Recommended storage periods

For recommended storage times, refer to your food packaging.

Thawing frozen food

For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently until thawed.

To thaw frozen foods

1 Cover food loosely.
2 Thaw at room temperature. Don't forget that thawing in a warm area encourages the growth of bacteria.
3 Always make sure there are no ice crystals in the food before cooking, particularly with meat. These crystals indicate that the food is not fully thawed. They result in lower temperatures when cooking. Lower cooking temperatures may not destroy dangerous bacteria.
4 Cook food as soon as possible after thawing.
5 Drain off and throw away any liquid lost during thawing.

Oven thawing frozen foods

Many microwaves and ovens have thaw setting. To avoid bacterial build up, only use these if you intend to cook the food immediately afterwards.

Safety tips

Never re-freeze anything that has been thawed out unless you cook it again, to kill off harmful bacteria.

Never re-freezer thawed shellfish.

Useful tips

Re-seal packs properly after removing items. This prevents drying or 'freezer burn' and a build up of frost on any remaining food.

Cleaning

Defrosting

After a period of time frost will build up in the freezer. As a temporary measure, this frost should be scraped away using a plastic scraper of the plastic kitchen implement.

NOTE: Do not use a metal or shape instrument and do not use any electrical appliances to aid defrosting.

Complete appliance's defrosting will however become necessary approximately once per year, or if the frost layer exceeds 5cm (2") to maintain the efficiency of the freezer. This should be carried out if the frost build up cannot be scraped away, or if it begins to interfere with the food storage. Choose a time when the stock of frozen food is low and proceed as follows:

1. Take out the frozen food, run the freezer off at the mains supply and leave the door open. Ideally the frozen food should be put into another freezer or refrigerator. If this is not possible, warp the food firstly in several sheets of newspaper of large towels and then a thick rug or blanket and keep it in a cool place.
2. Place a shallow bowl or pan below the freezer. Scrape away as much frost build up as possible using the plastic scraper. Thawing of the remainder can be speeded up by placing bowls of hot water inside the freezer cabinet and closing the door. As the solid frost loosens, prize it away with the plastic scraper and remove.
3. When defrosting is complete, clean your freezer as described in CLEANING.

Cleaning inside the freezer

You should clean the freezer internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of soda. Then rinse it with warm water using a 'wrung-out' sponge or cloth. Wipe the freezer dry before replacing the basket. Plug in and switch on the mains supply.

Cleaning of the outside of the freezer

Use standard furniture polish to clean the freezer exterior. Make sure that the door is closed, to prevent polish getting on the magnetic door seal or inside the cabinet.

The grille of the condenser at the back of the freezer and the adjacent components can be vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.

Cleaning tips

Defrost when food stocks are low.

NOTE: Do not use harsh cleaners, scouring pads or After the Freezer is in place, it needs to be left solvents to clean any part of the freezer.

Maintenance

Moving your Freezer

Care when handling

Hold the Freezer around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstance should it be lifted by holding the edges of the top surface.

Location

Do not locate your freezer near a heat source, eg. cooker, boiler or radiator. Also avoid direct sunlight in outbuildings or sun lounges.

Leveling the Freezer

Make sure the Freezer is level. Use the rotating leveling feet at the front. If the Freezer is not level, the doors and magnetic seal alignments will be affected.

Do Not Turn on the Freezer for 2 Hours

After the Freezer is in place, it needs to be left alone for 2 hours. The coolant fluid needs time to settle.

Installation

WARNING

Do not cover or block vents or grilles of your appliance.

Servicing

Repairs and maintenance of the appliance should only be performed by an authorized, qualified technician.

Troubleshooting

Power cut

If you have a Freezer thermometer, place it in the Freezer where you can get easy access to it to read when the power returns. If the internal temperature is -18^ or less when the power returns, your food is safe. The food in your Freezer will remain frozen for approx 16 hours with the door closed. If you know the power is going to be cut, please turn the Thermostat Control Dial to Position SUPER 24 hours before. This will make the Freezer colder than normal. If there is no warning, turn the Thermostat Control Dial to Position SUPER after the power cut. Do not open the door more than necessary.

The Freezer is particularly cold

You may have the Thermostat Control Dial on a higher setting than required.

The Freezer is particularly warm

The compressor may not be working. Turn the Thermostat Control Dial to Position SUPER. If there is no humming noise, it is not working. Call your Customer Service Department.

The Freezer is not working

Check it is plugged in and switched on. Check that the fuse in the plug has not blown. Plug in another appliance, such as a lamp, to see if the socket is working.

Condensation appears on the outside of the Freezer

This may be due to a change in the room temperature. Wipe off any residue of moisture. If the problem continues call your Customer Service Department.

Noises

You may hear some unusual noises from time to time. Please refer to "Noises Inside the Freezer" on page 5. If you are not able to identify and eliminate the faults according to the above recommendations, contact your Authorized Service Agent. Advise of model number of the appliance which is shown on the back of the rating plate. Do not attempt to repair your Freezer yourself as it might endanger you and others.
