Using Your Appliance

This appliance is designed for domestic use only, specifically for the storage of edible
foodtuffs.
Before use
Remove all securing tapes. Wash the inside of the appliance with lukewarm water with a little
bicarbonate of soda added (5ml. to 0.5 liter of water). Do not use soap or detergent as the
smell may li0nger. Dry the appliance thoroughly.
To start the appliance
1. Allow the appliance to stand for 2 hours after installation.
2. Plug in the appliance and switch on at the mains supply.
3. Turn the thermostat control to the required setting. A midway setting is usually suitable for
normal operation (see thermostat control).
4. Leave the appliance for approximately 4 hours for the correct temperature to be reached
before placing food inside.
Thermostat control
The thermostat control situated in the control panel regulates the temperature of the freezer
compartment.
z Position“MIN”–Cold.
z Position“NORMAL”–Colder normally, setting at this position.
z Position“MAX”–Coldest.
z Position “SUPER” -To fast freeze, the compressor will work continuously.

The temperature will be affected by:

z Room temperature
z How often the door is opened
z How much food is stored
z Position of the appliance
In determining the correct temperature control setting, all these factors have to be considered
and some experimentation may be necessary.
The freezer compartment
The symbol means that your freezer will store frozen food at -18 ℃(-0.4F) or colder
allowing for long term frozen-food storage and freezing of fresh food. The freezer
temperature is controlled automatically by the thermostat situated in the control panel. Due to
the different installations, methods of usage and weather conditions, adjustments to the
temperature settings may be required.

-5-
Freezing fresh food
Place the fresh food in the top freezer drawer. Food may need rearranging to achieve this.
During the freezing process the temperature of fresh food should be reduced quickly so that
ice crystals are kept as small as possible to avoid damaging the structure of food.

Switch the fast freeze switch to “ON ”24 hours before loading the food. After loading the
food return the switch to “OFF ”. Existing frozen food should be rearranged to leave space in
the top two drawers for freezing. The packets to be frozen should be placed in the drawer in
contact with the drawer surface as far as possible and spaced apart to allow cold air to
circulate between them. They should not touch existing packets.
If there is enough room, transfer the food you have frozen to the baskets or drawers to allow
you to freeze a further load in the top drawer. Exceptionally large items can be stored by
removing the upper basket. Frozen food should not be refrozen once it has thawed out. Do
not remove items from the freezer if your hands are damp/wet, as this could cause skin
abrasions.
For safety reasons, the freezer baskets are fitted with stops but are readily removed by
pulling them forward to the stop, then lifting the front and pulling all the way out.
Frozen food storage
Pre-packed commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions for a 4 star frozen food compartment and should be put in the
freezer as soon as possible after purchase. Your freezer provides for long term storage which
generally means up to 3 months but the length of the time can vary and it is important to
follow the recommended times shown on packets of commercially frozen food. Do not place
sealed containers or carbonated liquids such as fizzy drinks into the freezer as it creates
pressure on the container which may cause it to explode. Ice cubes and ice lollies should not
be consumed immediately after removal from the freezer as it may result in low temperature
skin abrasions.
Door reversal
The side at which the door opens can be changed from the right side (as supplied) to the left
side, if the installation site requires. Tilt the appliance slightly towards the rear and prop it
securely. Unscrew the door hinge screws and remove the hinge pin bracket. Open the door a
little way and take it out downwards.

Unscrew the upper pin and screw it into place on the opposite side. Fit the door into the
upper pin and close it. Screw the hinge pin bracket securely into place on the opposite side
using the screws.

Warning!

Before changing door position, remove power plug from terminal.
Tip:
Food in the freezer should always be covered or packaged, to prevent drying and tainting.
The following are suited for packaging:
z Polyethylene airtight bags and wraps
z Plastic containers with lids
z Special plastic covers with elastic
z Aluminium foil

6.Maintenance service and Troubleshooting.
For hygienic reasons the appliance interior including interior accessories should be
cleaned regularly.
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried out, DISCONNECT the appliance
from the ELECTRICITY supply.
Internal cleaning
Clean the inside and accessories with warm water and bicarbonate of soda (5ml to 0.5
litre of water). Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use detergents, abrasive powders, highly
perfumed cleaning products, wax polishes or cleaning products containing bleach or
alcohol.
External cleaning
Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Do NOT use
abrasive products. There are sharp edges on the underside of
the product, so care should be taken when the cabinet is cleaned.
Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the
compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or
vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the
performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity
consumption.
To defrost the freezer
1.Wrap any food in layers of newspaper or blankets.
2.Switch the appliance off at the wall socket and remove the plug.
3.Open the freezer door.
4.Place a suitable container to collect the defrost water.
5.After defrosting, clean and dry the interior.
6.Switch the appliance on and replace any frozen food.
Defrosting can be speeded up by putting bowls of hot (not boiling) water in the freezer
and loosening the frost with a suitable plastic scraper.
If the temperature of frozen food is allowed to rise during defrosting, its storage life may
be shortened.
Warning!
The appliance should not be connected to the mains during cleaning. Before cleaning
switch the appliance off and remove the plug from the mains.
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner because of the danger of electrical shock!
The appliance must be dry before it is placed back into service.
Important!
Ethereal oils and organic solvents can attack plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice or the juice
from orange peel, butyric acid, cleanser that contain acetic acid. Do not allow such
substances to come into contact with appliance parts. Do not use any abrasive cleansers.
Remove the food from the freezer, and store it in a cool place, well covered. Switch the
appliance off and remove the plug from the mains. Clean the appliance and the interior
accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water. Accumulation of dust at the condenser
increases energy consumption. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back
of the appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Check the water drain
hole on the rear wall of the freezer. Clear a blocked drain hole. After everything is dry
place appliance back into service.

Energy Saving tips
Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of warmth. High
ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor. Ensure
sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the
appliance. Never cover air vent openings. Do not place warm food into the appliance.
Allow warm food to cool first. Do not set temperature any colder than necessary. Keep the
emitting condenser-the metal grille on the rear wall of your appliance from the heat and
always clean.

Trouble Shooting

Noises during Operation

The following noises are characteristic of refrigeration appliances:
z Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.
z As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.
z When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.
z Even after the compressor has been switched off, residue noise can be heard for a
short time.
Important!
Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by competent service engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs
repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Service Center.
