Start your appliance  
Warning light (red)  
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The pilot light (E)  
will light up to show that the appliance is on.  
If the temperature warning light (D) lights up, it  
indicates that the temperature within the freezer has  
reached a level where safe food storage is no longer  
ensured.  
When the freezer is first switched on, the warning  
light will stay on until the temperature has dropped to  
a safe level for the storage of frozen food.  
Temperature control  
The temperature inside the freezer is regulated by a  
thermostat with 6 temperature positions and one  
«OFF» (O) position.  
Position 1 = minimum cold  
Position 6 = maximum cold  
Freezing fresh food  
In any 24 hour period you can freeze up to 20 kg of  
fresh food.  
Turn the thermostat dial to the required position.  
An intermediate position is usually the most suitable,  
although the temperature will be affected by:  
When you first start the freezer or after a period of  
non-use, push in the fast-freeze button (B) to the  
SUPER position 2-3 hours before you want to freeze  
your food (the yellow light (C) lights up). If the  
freezer is already in operation, the fast-freeze switch  
should be activated about 24 hours before freezing  
fresh food. This time can be shortened, depending  
on the quantity of food to be frozen. After the time  
has elapsed place the food to be frozen in the  
appliance's two top compartments; if freezing only a  
small amount of food, use the top compartment. In  
the first compartment, products must only be stacked  
up to the mark on the cell so as to ensure that air  
circulation is not obstructed.  
l
Room temperature  
l How often the door is opened  
l How much food is stored  
l Position of the appliance  
In determining the correct temperature control  
setting all these factors have to be considered and  
some experimentation may be necessary.  
To obtain a lower temperature, turn the thermostat  
control to the higher numbers; to obtain a higher  
temperature turn the control to the lower numbers.  
When altering the temperature setting, allow 24  
hours for the temperature to stablise before making  
further changes.  
You should never freeze more than 20 Kg. of  
fresh food at anyone time.  
For easier turning of this control, use a small coin.

Once the food is completely frozen (which could take  
up to 24 hours) return the fast freeze push button to  
the «OFF» position; the yellow light (C) goes off.  
Distribute the frozen food packages in the other  
compartments, so that the two top compartments  
can be used for a further freezing operation. Only  
freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned  
foodstuffs.  
To accomodate large items (i.e. a turkey) the two  
middle drawers may be removed to make use of the  
appliances full volume.  
Do not allow fresh food to touch food which is  
already frozen.  
During the freezing process, ensure that the freezer  
door remains closed.

Frozen food storage  
When you first start the freezer or if the freezer has  
been out of use for some time, we advise you to run  
your appliance for at least two hours in the «fast  
freeze» mode before storing frozen food.  
PR172  
To obtain the best performance from this appliance,  
we strongly recommend that you make sure that the  
commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately  
stored by the retailer and, furthermore, be sure that  
these frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the  
foodstore to your freezer in the shortest possible  
time (a temperature increase of the frozen food  
could shorten its storage period).  
To remove the drawers, proceed as follows: pull the  
drawer out until it comes to a stop, then tilt it upwards  
(see figure).  
It is also advisable not to exceed the storage period  
indicated by the producer of the food.  
Finally, do not open the door frequently or leave it  
open longer than is absolutely necessary.  
Important  
Do not put carbonated liquids, (fizzy drinks  
etc.), in the freezer.  
PR001c  
Ice lollies, if consumed immediately after  
removal from the freezer, can possibly  
result in a low temperature skin burn.  
Do not remove items from the freezer if  
your hands are damp/wet, as this could  
cause skin abrasions or "frost/freezer  
burns".  
If there is a power failure do not open the  
door during the whole time of the power  
failure. If the freezer is fully loaded, the  
frozen food will not be affected if the power  
cut is of short duration; otherwise, it is  
recommended to consume the food within a  
very short time.  
6
 
Cold accumulator  
The freezer contains one cold accumulator which can  
be found in the top compartment. The cold  
accumulator increases storage times in the event of  
a power cut or breakdown. It must be placed on top  
of the food.  
Removal of this unit will increase the capacity of the  
fast freezing compartment but will reduce storage  
times in the event of a power cut or breakdown.  
Thawing  
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can  
be thawed in the fridge or at room temperature  
depending on the time available. Small food items  
may even be cooked from frozen; in this case  
cooking will take longer.  
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally  
should either be eaten as soon as possible or thrown  
away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and has  
not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and  
then refrozen.  
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.  
Ice making  
Fill the ice tray with water to the top of each ice cube  
compartment, and place it in the freezer. To release  
the ice cubes, twist the tray along its length. Never  
use a sharp instrument to remove ice from the tray.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear faint gurgling or bubbling sounds when  
the refrigerant is pumped through the coils or tubing  
at the rear, to the fixed freezer shelves.  
When the compressor is on, the refrigerant is being  
pumped round, and you will hear a whirring sound or  
pulsating noise from the compressor.  
A thermostat controls the compressor, and you will  
hear a faint ‘click’ when the thermostat cuts in and  
out.

HEALTH AND SAFETY GUIDELINES  
Because of consumer demand, preservatives have been removed from many pre-prepared food. This  
together with the changes in shopping habits to a once-a-week shop, mean that safe handling and  
storage of food is even more important than ever.  
The following tips should help you to ensure that the food in your home is in as perfect condition as  
possible.  
Keep the freezer door closed as much as  
The size of each pack should be small enough to  
ensure that it is used in one go. Small packs  
freeze more quickly and uniformly and give better  
results.  
possible.  
Do not push food together too much, try to allow  
air to circulate around each item.  
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be refrozen.  
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty  
food, salt reduces the storage time.  
Cool cooked food as quickly as possible but do  
NOT place in the freezer until cool. (Leave food  
in a cool place in order that it can then be placed  
in the freezer as soon as possible).  
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing  
bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and  
provide an airtight seal.  
Do not store food uncovered.  
The best way to defrost food is to put it in the  
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of  
refrozen water droplets on the pack could  
refrigerator to thaw slowly.  
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated  
and labelled and used in date order to ensure  
that food is consumed at its best.  
indicate that the product has not been kept at a  
suitable temperature and that it may have lost its  
original quality. Partially thawed food must not be  
refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours.  
Never exceed the storage time indicated.  
It is important that food is used before its “best  
before” date.  
Always wash your hands with soapy water and  
Never place bottles or cans of fizzy drink in the  
freezer as they may explode. Containers with a  
lid must not be filled to the brim.  
dry them with a clean towel before handling food.  
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross  
contamination by not using the same work  
surface or knife, without washing them thoroughly  
in between.  
Do not open the door or place extra fresh food in  
the freezer next to food which is already frozen  
as this could cause the temperature of the frozen  
food to rise and its quality and storage life to  
reduce.  
The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of the  
best quality.  
DEFROSTING  
The freezer compartment will become progressively  
covered with frost. This should be removed with the  
special plastic scraper provided, whenever the  
thickness of the frost exceeds 1/4".  
4. When defrosting is completed, dry the interior  
thoroughly.  
Keep the scraper for future use.  
During this operation it is not necessary to switch off  
the power supply or to remove the foodstuffs.  
However, when the ice becomes very thick on the  
inner liner, complete defrosting should be carried out  
and it is advisable to carry out this operation when the  
appliance is empty.  
To carry out complete defrosting proceed as follows:  
1. Remove any stored food, wrap it in several layers  
of newspaper and put it in a cool place.  
2. Turn the thermostat control (A) to the «O» setting.  
3. Leave the door open and insert the plastic scraper  
in the special location to act as an extension  
channel; pull out the drawer to collect the defrost  
water (see Fig.).  
PR001

Turn the thermostat control to a medium setting  
between 2 and 4 and push in the «fast freeze»  
control knob. After letting the appliance run for at  
least two hours in the «fast freeze» mode, replace  
the previously removed food into the compartments.  
Do not forget to release the «fast freeze» control  
knob when you replace the food in the freezer.  
Important  
In the event of a power failure causing  
the temperature within your freezer to  
rise, do not re-freeze the food without  
checking its condition. The following  
guidelines should assist you:  
Ice-cream: once thawed should be  
discarded.  
Important  
A temperature rise of the frozen food packs  
during defrosting may shorten their  
storage life.  
Fruits & Vegetables: if soft should be  
cooked and used up.  
Breads & Cakes: can be re-frozen without  
danger.  
Shellfish: should be refrigerated and used  
up quickly.  
Never use sharp metal tools to scrape off  
frost from the evaporator as you could dam-  
age the appliance beyond repair.  
Cooked Dishes: i.e. casseroles should be  
refrigerated and used up.  
Large Pieces of Meat: can be re-frozen  
providing there are still ice crystals  
remaining within them.  
Small Joints: should be cooked and can  
then be re-frozen as cooked dishes.  
Chicken: should also be cooked and re-  
frozen as a cooked dish.  
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Before any maintenance or cleaning work is carried  
out, DISCONNECT the appliance from the  
ELECTRICITY supply.  
When the appliance is not in use  
When the appliance is not in use for long periods,  
disconnect from the electricity supply, empty all  
foods and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar  
to prevent unpleasant smells.  
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.
